“…Furfural can be produced by acid-catalyzed dehydration of xylose from nonfood biomass, such as bagasse or corn cobs. , As a platform molecule, furfural has found widespread use in the organic synthesis, pharmaceutical, transport fuel, and chemical industries, and it is a potential intermediate in the production of high-value chemicals. , The demand for green chemicals and the expanding industrial applications of various furfural derivatives (e.g., cyclopentanone, dicarboxylic acid, amyl lactone, furfuryl alcohol, tetrahydrofuran, FAM, and glutaryl alcohol) are driving the furfural market . FAM, a nitrogen derivative of furfural, is an emerging molecule with numerous promising applications, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals . The size of the FAM market is anticipated to reach USD 1.2 billion by 2028, expanding at a CAGR of 3.5% .…”
