“…Chemical analysis conducted on rosemary plants show the presences of terpens and terpenoids, including components as camphor, 1,8-cineole, α-pinene, camphene, α-terpineol and borneol, with an average density of 0.877 g cm -3 (Atti- Santos et al, 2005;Moncada et al, 2016), secondary metabolites production in plants occur principally through the Shikimate pathway (Narwal and Sampietro, 2009); the biosynthesis of terpenes occur through two pathways, Mevalonate pathway and the non-mevalonate pathway also called the MEP/DOXP pathway (Zuzarte and Salgueiro, 2015), having as precursors compounds like isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP), These compounds are originated from metabolic pathways in the plant that occurred in cell organelles as chloroplast, cytoplasm and mitochondria. However this results (Tab.…”

RESUMENRosemary production (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) in Colombia is destined mainly for international markets (2.898 t in 2006), Although the national demand is low, this is a promising crop in some areas of the country, having potential to enhance producers life quality through the implementation of sustainable crops allowing the decrease of non-beneficial conditions in agriculture labors. Studying the response to the application of biofertilizers as an alternative to implement rosemary organic crops has become an important tool for the integrated crop management. In this research three commercial biofertilizer applied to the soil were evaluated (Azotobacter chroococcum, Pseudomonas fluorescens, humic and fulvic acids) facing a control treatment, significant differences were found regarding the number of stems growth per plant, however variables as oil extract volume and plant height did not present significant differences when compared with control treatment.La producción de romero (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) en Colombia está destinada principalmente a la exportación (2.898 t para el 2006) pues la demanda a nivel nacional es baja, sin embargo este es un cultivo promisorio en ciertas zonas del país, siendo potencial para algunos productores debido al mejoramiento de la calidad de vida a través de la implementación de cultivos sostenibles que permitan disminuir la nocividad de las labores agrícolas. Es así que conocer la respuesta de esta especie frente a la aplicación de biofertilizantes como alternativa para implementar cultivos de romero orgánicos se convierte en una herramienta base para el manejo integrado del cultivo. En esta investigación se evaluaron tres productos biofertilizantes comerciales aplicados al suelo (A. chroococcum, P. fluorescens, ácidos húmicos y fúlvicos) frente a un testigo, se encontraron diferencias significativas en el número de tallos generados por las plantas, sin embargo variables como el volumen de aceite esencial extraído y la altura de la planta no presentaron diferencias significativas con respecto al testigo.

“…The higher ash content of the benthic polyculture biomass resulted in higher ionic strength in the final algal hydrolysates (fermentation medium), which retarded the cell growth and compromised the terpene yield. Additionally, according to techno-economic analysis of the current state-of-the-art technologies for essential oil production, which are mainly based on water/solvent extraction, the extraction yield of essential oil ranged from 0.1% to 1% of plant tissue, corresponding to 1 mg-10 mg essential oil/ g plant tissue (26,27) based on the relatively low concentration of essential oils in plant tissue (28). Compared to the extraction yield of essential oil from plant tissue, the engineered strains in this study increased the terpene yield about 3~40 times, which makes it a promising alternative pathway for terpene production.…”

Under robust algae growth conditions, algal carbohydrates and proteins typically comprise up to ~ 80% of the ash-free dry weight of microalgae biomass. Therefore, production of algal biofuel through comprehensive utilization of all algal components and the addition of high energy density fuel compounds with "fit for purpose" properties or high-value bioproducts will both diminish the process cost and improve the overall process feasibility. In this study, we firstly demonstrated the concept of a "one-pot" bioconversion of algal carbohydrate and protein into value-added terpene compounds as advanced biofuel and high value bioproducts to improve the overall process feasibility through the development of engineered microbial consortium. The consortium for caryophyllene production yielded the highest titer of total terpene, up to 507.4 mg/L, including 471 mg/L of sesquiterpene, 36.4 mg/L of monoterpene, and 124.4 mg/L of caryophyllene on algal hydrolysate from Nannochloropsis sp. Additionally, the consortium expressing chamigrene synthase produced 187 mg/L total terpene including 87 mg/L of monoterpene, 100 mg/L of sesquiterpene, and 62 mg/L chamigrene on hydrolysate from benthic polyculture biomass. Compared to the yields of terpene extracted from plant tissue, both consortia increased the terpene yield about 3~40 times, which makes it a promising alternative pathway for terpene production.

The role of compressed fluids-based extraction techniques for the sustainable recovery of valuable products from natural sources is described and discussed. Important aspects for green process design including the use of new solvents with novel interesting properties, the development of integrated and intensified multi-unit operation processes as well as scale-up and techno-economic and environmental assessment are emphasized. Within this important research field, some key aspects are identified for the future development of more efficient, environmentally friendly and sustainable processes for bioactives recovery from natural sources. The use of biorefinery platforms based on the use of supercritical and/or pressurized fluids should have a critical importance in the near future.
