Abstract
The transition to renewable resources and bioprocesses is essential to address climate change and meet energy demands. Biorefineries offer a sustainable solution by valorising agro-industrial wastes, such as apple pomace, a by-product of the juice and cider industries. This study presents an efficient process to produce 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) derivatives using deep eutectic solvent (DES) and microwave-assisted heating. Under optimal conditions (160 °C, 30 min, and 50 % Choline Chloride: Lactic acid (ChCl:LA) DES) HMF yield reached 34.6 %. Engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains expressing HMF oxidase enzyme facilitated the bioconversion of HMF from apple pomace hydrolysate into high-value derivatives, particularly furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a precursor for bio-based polymers. The best-performing strain achieved 10.8 mM FDCA and 15.5 mM 5-formyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (FFCA) under optimised conditions. This integrated approach-combining catalytic HMF production via DES microwave-assisted technology with microbial biocatalysis-offers a sustainable pathway for agro-waste valorisation and the production of renewable chemicals.

Abstract
The production of lactic acid (LA) through biomass fermentation represents a promising alternative to the chemical synthesis. The use of agri-food by-products as fermentable carbohydrate sources can improve process sustainability by reducing waste and valorizing residual biomass. This study assessed the use of apple and tomato pomaces for producing LA through fermentation using thermotolerant bacteria under aerobic and non-sterile conditions. Three bacteria were evaluated and Heyndrickxia coagulans DSM 2314 was selected for its ability to produce LA from hydrolyzates of apple pomace (APH) and tomato pomace (TPH). The fermentation conditions were optimized to maximize LA production from APH, TPH and a mixture of both hydrolyzates. Therefore, LA productions ranged from 36.98 ± 0.41 to 40.72 ± 0.43 g/L, with yields from 0.86 ± 0.02 to 1.01 ± 0.01 g/g. Yeast extract was necessary as a nitrogen source for fermenting APH, while TPH and the mixture of both hydrolyzates did not require any supplementation. Other nitrogen sources, such as wine lees, urea and NH3Cl, were tested for fermenting APH. However, mixing this hydrolyzate with TPH proved to be the most viable alternative. This study demonstrates the potential for valorizing apple and tomato pomaces into LA under feasible fermentation conditions.

Abstract
Herein an enzyme-assisted supercritical fluid extraction (EA-SFE) was developed using the enzyme mix snailase to obtain flavonols and dihydrochalcones, subgroups of flavonoids, from globally abundant waste product apple pomace. Snailase, a commercially available mix of 20-30 enzymes, was successfully used to remove the sugar moieties from quercetin glycosides, kaempferol glycosides, phloridzin and 3-hydroxyphloridzin. The resulting flavonoid aglycones quercetin, kaempferol, phloretin and 3-hydroxyphloretin were extracted using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) and minimum amounts of polar cosolvents. A sequential process of enzymatic hydrolysis and supercritical fluid extraction was developed, and the influence of the amount of snailase, pre-treatment of apple pomace, the time for enzymatic hydrolysis, the amount and type of cosolvent and the time for extraction, was studied. This revealed that even small amounts of snailase (0.25 %) provide a successful cleavage of sugar moieties up to 96 % after 2 h of enzymatic hydrolysis followed by supercritical fluid extraction with small amounts of methanol as cosolvent, leading up to 90 % of the total extraction yields after 1 h extraction time. Ultimately, a simultaneous process of EA-SFE successfully demonstrates the potential of snailase in scalable scCO2 extraction processes for dry and wet apple pomace with satisfactory enzyme activity, even under pressurized conditions.

Abstract
Butanol-producing strains Clostridium sp. UCM B-7570 and C. acetobutylicum UCM B-7407 were used for research from "Collection of strains of microorganisms and plant lines for food and agricultural biotechnology" of the Institute of Food Biotechnology and Genomics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, glycerol (BASF, Germany) and apple pomace (total moisture 4%) after apple juice production. The aim of this work was to study the possibility of using apple pomace by domestic butanol-producing strains of Clostridium sp. UCM B-7570 and C. acetobutylicum UCM B-7407 as a substrate. Producers were cultured on medium with different concentrations of apple pomace, glycerol was used for the inoculation. The presence of ethanol, acetone, and butanol in the culture liquid was determined using a gas chromatograph. It was determined that a significant part of the macrocomponent composition of the extracts can be used in bioconversion by producing strains of the genus Clostridium. It was determined that the highest concentration of butanol (10 g/dm3) was at a concentration of 120 g/dm3 in the extracts. The obtained data showed the possibility of using apple pomace as a substrate in biobutanol technology.

Abstract
Biodegradable biopolymers, such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), have emerged as an alternative to petrochemical-based plastics. The present work explores the production of PHAs based on the biotransformation of potato processing wastewater and addresses two different strategies for PHA recovery. To this end, culture conditions for PHA synthesis by Cupriavidus necator DSM 545 were optimized on a laboratory scale using a response surface methodology-based experimental design. Optimal conditions rendered a PHB, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), accumulation of 83.74 ± 2.37 % (5.1 ± 0.2 gL-1), a 1.4-fold increase compared to the initial conditions. Moreover, polymer extraction with non-halogenated agent improved PHB recovery compared to chloroform method (PHB yield up to 78.78 ± 0.57 %), while maintaining PHB purity. (99.83 ± 4.95 %). Overall, the present work demonstrated the potential valorization of starch-based wastewater by biotransformation into PHBs, a high value-added product, and showed that recovery approaches more eco-friendly than the traditional treatments could be applied to PHB recovery to some extent.

Abstract
Apple pomace (AP) is a lignocellulosic residue from the juice and cider industries that can be valorized in a multi-product biorefinery to generate multiple value-added compounds, including biofuels such as butanol. Butanol is produced biologically by acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation using bacteria of the genus Clostridium from sugar-based feedstocks. In this study, AP hydrolysate was used as a substrate for producing butanol by ABE fermentation. Various environmental factors influence the amount of butanol produced, but only under certain conditions the so-called 'acid crash', an undesirable phenomenon characterized by a total arrest of cell growth and solvent production, can be avoided. Operational parameters that may influence the prevention of acid crash occurrence, such as pH, CaCO3 concentration and culture temperature, were optimized in C. beijerinckii CECT 508 cultures applying a Box-Behnken experimental design. The mathematical model of the fermentation found the optimal conditions of pH 7, 6.8 g/L of CaCO3 and 30 °C, and this was validated in an independent experiment carried out at the optimal conditions, reaching 10.75 g/L of butanol. Also, the comparison of butanol production between the supernatant of the AP hydrolysate (10.57 g/L) and the full hydrolysate with solids (11.69 g/L) indicated that it is possible to eliminate the centrifugation step after hydrolysis, which may allow to reduce process costs and the full utilization of apple pomace, aiming a zero-waste approach.

Abstract
The main intention in the modern era is to make life and activities on earth more comfortable by adding necessary products through biological machinery. Millions of tons of biological raw materials and lignocellulosic biomass are wasted by burning each year without providing benefits to living organisms. Instead of being the cause of disturbing the natural environment by increasing global warming and pollutants worldwide, now, it is the need of the hour to develop an advanced strategy to utilize these biological raw materials to produce renewable energy resources to meet the energy crisis. The review presents the idea of multiple enzymes in one step to hydrolyze complex biomaterials into useful products. The paper discusses how multiple enzymes are arranged in a cascade for complete hydrolysis of raw material in one-pot to prevent multistep, time consuming, and expensive methods. Furthermore, there was the immobilization of multiple enzymes in a cascade system with in vitro and in vivo conditions for reusability of enzymes. The role of genetic engineering, metabolic engineering, and random mutation techniques is described for the development of multiple enzyme cascades. Techniques that are involved in the improvement of native strain to recombinant strain for the enhancement of hydrolytic capacity were used. The preparative steps, before enzymatic hydrolysis like acid, and base treatment methods are more effective for improving the hydrolysis of biomass by multiple enzymes in a one-pot system. Finally, the applications of one-pot multienzyme complexes in biofuel production from lignocellulosic biomass, biosensor production, medicine, food industry, and the conversion of biopolymers into useful products are described.

Abstract
Fruit seeds include a large number of bioactive substances with potential applications in the culinary and pharmaceutical industries, satisfying current demands for natural ingredients, which are generally preferred since they have fewer adverse effects than artificial components. Researchers have long been interested in the functional features, as well as the proximate and mineral compositions, of diverse fruit seeds such as tomato, apple, guava, and dates, among others. Bioactive components such as proteins (bioactive peptides), carotenoids (lycopene), polysaccharides (pectin), phytochemicals (flavonoids), and vitamins (-tocopherol) are abundant in fruit by-products and have significant health benefits, making them a viable alternative for the formulation of a wide range of food products with significant functional and nutraceutical potential. This article discusses the role and activities of bioactive chemicals found in tomato, apple, dates, and guava seeds, which can be used in a variety of food forms to cure a variety of cardiovascular and neurological disorders, as well as act as an antioxidant, anticancer, and antibacterial agent. The extraction of diverse bioactive components from by-products could pave the path for the creation of value-added products from the fruit industry, making it more commercially viable while also reducing environmental pollution caused by by-products from the fruit industry.

Abstract
Globally, abundant agricultural wastes (AWs) are being generated each day to fulfil the increasing demands of the fast-growing population. The limited and/or improper management of the same has created an urgent need to devise strategies for their timely utilization and valorisation, for agricultural sustainability and human-food and health security. The AWs are generated from different sources including crop residue, agro-industries, livestock, and aquaculture. The main component of the crop residue and agro-industrial waste is cellulose, (the most abundant biopolymer), followed by lignin and hemicellulose (lignocellulosic biomass). The AWs and their processing are a global issue since its vast majority is currently burned or buried in soil, causing pollution of air, water and global warming. Traditionally, some crop residues have been used in combustion, animal fodder, roof thatching, composting, soil mulching, matchsticks and paper production. But, lignocellulosic biomass can also serve as a sustainable source of biofuel (biodiesel, bioethanol, biogas, biohydrogen) and bioenergy in order to mitigate the fossil fuel shortage and climate change issues. Thus, valorisation of lignocellulosic residues has the potential to influence the bioeconomy by producing value-added products including biofertilizers, bio-bricks, bio-coal, bio-plastics, paper, biofuels, industrial enzymes, organic acids etc. This review encompasses circular bioeconomy based various AW management strategies, which involve 'reduction', 'reusing' and 'recycling' of AWs to boost sustainable agriculture and minimise environmental pollution.

Abstract
Circular economy is an upward trending notion that has drawn worldwide attention of policymakers, industry administrators, environmentalist as well as academic researchers. Though there are several tools developed for monitoring the material recovery, a very few number of research have been conducted to integrate circular economy principles with end-of-life (EOL) management strategies. This paper proposes an EOL-driven circular economy framework for the management of materials flow so as to extend the lifetime of materials through improved durability as well as to provide more social, economic and environmental benefits through less material waste. A case study from the agricultural waste industry is presented in order to test the model and validate its performance. The results show that the proposed framework has a good potential for small and medium enterprises (SME) advances.

Waste Apple Pomace Conversion to Acrylic Acid: Economic and Potential Environmental Impact Assessments. FERMENTATION 2022.

Abstract
The global demand for acrylic acid (AA) is increasing due to its wide range of applications. Due to this growing demand, alternative AA production strategies must be explored to avoid the exacerbation of prevailing climate and global warming issues since current AA production strategies involve fossil resources. Investigations regarding alternative strategies for AA production therefore constitute an important research interest. The present study assesses waste apple pomace (WAP) as a feedstock for sustainable AA production. To undertake this assessment, process models based on two production pathways were designed, modelled and simulated in ASPEN plus® software. The two competing production pathways investigated included a process incorporating WAP conversion to lactic acid (LA) prior to LA dehydration to generate AA (denoted as the fermentation–dehydration, i.e., FD, pathway) and another process involving WAP conversion to propylene prior to propylene oxidation to generate AA (denoted as the thermochemical–fermentation–oxidation, i.e., TFO, pathway). Economic performance and potential environmental impact of the FD and TFO pathways were assessed using the metrics of minimum selling price (MSP) and potential environmental impacts per h (PEI/h). The study showed that the FD pathway presented an improved economic performance (MSP of AA: USD 1.17 per kg) compared to the economic performance (MSP of AA: USD 1.56 per kg) of the TFO pathway. Crucially, the TFO process was determined to present an improved environmental performance (2.07 kPEI/h) compared to the environmental performance of the FD process (8.72 kPEI/h). These observations suggested that the selection of the preferred AA production pathway or process will require a tradeoff between economic and environmental performance measures via the integration of a multicriteria decision assessment in future work.

Prediction of phenolic compounds and glucose content from dilute inorganic acid pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass using artificial neural network modeling. BIORESOUR BIOPROCESS 2021; 8:134. [PMID: 38650283 PMCID: PMC10992208 DOI: 10.1186/s40643-021-00488-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2021] [Accepted: 12/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Dilute inorganic acids hydrolysis is one of the most promising pretreatment strategies with high recovery of fermentable sugars and low cost for sustainable production of biofuels and chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass. The diverse phenolics derived from lignin degradation during pretreatment are the main inhibitors for enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation. However, the content features of derived phenolics and produced glucose under different conditions are still unclear due to the highly non-linear characteristic of biomass pretreatment. Here, an artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed for simultaneous prediction of the derived phenolic contents (CPhe) and glucose yield (CGlc) in corn stover hydrolysate before microbial fermentation by integrating dilute acid pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis. Six processing parameters including inorganic acid concentration (CIA), pretreatment temperature (T), residence time (t), solid-to-liquid ratio (RSL), kinds of inorganic acids (kIA), and enzyme loading dosage (E) were used as input variables. The CPhe and CGlc were set as the two output variables. An optimized topology structure of 6-12-2 in the ANN model was determined by comparing root means square errors, which has a better prediction efficiency for CPhe (R2 = 0.904) and CGlc (R2 = 0.906). Additionally, the relative importance of six input variables on CPhe and CGlc was firstly calculated by the Garson equation with net weight matrixes. The results indicated that CIA had strong effects (22%-23%) on CPhe or CGlc, then followed by E and T. In conclusion, the findings provide new insights into the sustainable development and inverse optimization of biorefinery process from ANN modeling perspectives.

Abstract
Apple pomace, the residue which is left out after processing of apple serves as a potential carbon source for the production of biopolymer, PHA (poly-hydroxyalkanoates). It is rich in carbohydrates, fibers and polyphenols. Utilization of these waste resources has dual societal benefit-waste management and conversion of waste to an eco-friendly biopolymer. This will lower the overall economics of the process. A major limitation for the commercialization of biopolymer in comparison with petroleum derived polymer is the high cost. This article gives an overview of valorization of apple pomace for the production of biopolymer, various strategies adopted, limitations as well as future perspectives.

Abstract
Vine shoots (Vitis vinifera L.) constitute an abundant lignocellulosic source which is frequently underutilised. Alkaline and acidic pretreatments (with and without washing steps) were compared and optimised to release fermentable sugars from vine shoots. An acidic pretreatment using 1.72% H2SO4 at 134 °C for 17 min (with 10% w/w solid biomass), followed by an enzymatic hydrolysis, offered the most cost-effective results, releasing 40.21 g/L sugars. Three thermotolerant strains, namely, Bacillus coagulans DSM 2314, Geobacillus stearothermophilus DSM 2313, and G. stearothermophilus DSM 494, were assessed to produce lactic acid from vine-shoot hydrolysates under aerobic and non-sterile conditions, without the need of detoxification steps. In addition, wine lees were satisfactorily employed as nitrogen sources for the fermentation, providing similar results to yeast extract and being the only nutrient added to vine-shoot hydrolysates. Under optimal conditions, B. coagulans DSM 2314 produced 29.21 ± 0.23 g/L lactic acid in 24 h, with a sugar consumption of 98.74 ± 0.07% and a yield of 96.38 ± 0.76%, when supplemented with red wine lees. The purity of the isomer L( +) reached 97.59 ± 1.35% of the total lactic acid produced. Although G. stearothermophilus was able to transform the hexoses from vine-shoot hydrolysates into lactic acid, it proved to be inefficient for metabolising pentoses, thus obtaining lower lactic acid values (16-18 g/L).

Abstract
The automotive industry is directly affected by the shortage of fossil fuels and the excessive pollution resulting from crude oil-based fuels has many adverse effects on the environment. The search for a greener and sustainable source of materials and fuels to power automobiles has ultimately led to the usage of biomass and biobased sources as the main precursor due to its graft availability and renewability. Biobased fuels developed have been shown to easily blend in with the existing automobile engines and to provide sustainable performance. Similarly, the usage of various biobased polymers, plastics, and composite materials as the structural materials for the construction of automobiles instead of crude oil sources have shown to be invaluable. The powering of automobiles with electricity is the future of the transportation industry to address the greenhouse gas emissions caused by fossil fuels. Hence, biobased lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors have started to enter the mid-sized automotive industry. However, extensive commercialization of biobased products application in the automotive sector is underdeveloped. Hence it is customary to assess the various drawbacks of using biobased materials and identify the correct pathway for new research and development in this field. Therefore, this review covers various applications of biobased products in the automotive industries and mentions the active researches going on in this field to replace petroleum and crude oil-based sources with biobased sources.

Abstract
Considering its worldwide abundance, cellulose can be a suitable candidate to replace the fossil oil-based materials, even if its potential is still untapped, due to some scientific and technical gaps. This work offers new possibilities demonstrating for the first time the ability of a cerato-platanin, a small fungal protein, to valorize lignocellulosic Agri-food Wastes. Indeed, cerato-platanins can loosen cellulose rendering it more accessible to hydrolytic attack. The cerato-platanin ThCP from a marine strain of Trichoderma harzianum, characterized as an efficient biosurfactant protein, has proven able to efficiently pre-treat apple pomace, obtaining a sugar conversion yield of 65%. Moreover, when used in combination with a laccase enzyme, a notable increase in the sugar conversion yield was measured. Similar results were also obtained when other wastes, coffee silverskin and potato peel, were pre-treated. With respect to the widespread laccase pre-treatments, this new pre-treatment approach minimizes process time, increasing energy efficiency.

Abstract
In this study, puerariae slag (PS) was evaluated as a renewable raw material for acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation. To accelerate the hydrolysis of PS, the method of ultrasound-assisted dilute acid hydrolysis (UAAH) was used. With this effort, 0.69 g reducing sugar was obtained from 1 g raw material under the optimal pretreatment condition. Subsequently, the butanol and total solvent production of 8.79 ± 0.16 g/L and 12.32 ± 0.26 g/L were obtained from the non-detoxified diluted hydrolysate, and the yield and productivity of butanol were 0.19 g/g and 0.12 g/L/h, respectively. Additionally, the changes in the structure of PS after different pretreatment methods were observed using SEM and FT-IR. UAAH resulted in more severe and distinct damage to the dense structure of PS. This study suggests that the UAAH is an attainable but effective pretreatment method, thereby is a promising technique for lignocellulose hydrolysis and improve butanol production.

Abstract
Hydrothermal carbonization makes feasible the integral and profitable recovery of industrial apple waste within a zero-residue bio-economy. 82-96% of the energy and 80-93% of the C in the apple bagasse are retained in the solids generated by hydrothermal treatment at 180 and 230 °C for 2 and 4 h. Such processes stabilize the apple waste and lead to CO2 neutral solid fuels with calorific value close to 30 MJ/kg. The agrochemical properties of the solid by-products suggest their potential to improve soil quality. Aqueous streams containing valuable phenolic compounds and saturated fatty acids are generated simultaneously, which provide additional cost-effectiveness. The by-products characteristics can be suited to the final application by selecting the reaction temperature, whereas the process duration has less impact. Optical microscopy and reflectance measurements are presented, for the first time, as powerful tools for assessing the biomass transformation when subjected to hydrothermal treatment under different conditions.

Valorization of apple pomace using bio-based technology for the production of xylitol and 2G ethanol. Bioprocess Biosyst Eng 2020; 43:2153-2163.

Abstract
Apple pomace was studied as a raw material for the production of xylitol and 2G ethanol, since this agroindustrial residue has a high concentration of carbohydrate macromolecules, but is still poorly studied for the production of fermentation bioproducts, such as polyols. The dry biomass was subjected to dilute-acid hydrolysis with H2SO4 to obtain the hemicellulosic hydrolysate, which was concentrated, detoxified and fermented. The hydrolyzate after characterization was submitted to submerged fermentations, which were carried out in Erlenmeyer flasks using, separately, the yeasts Candida guilliermondii and Kluyveromyces marxianus. High cellulose (32.62%) and hemicellulose (23.60%) contents were found in this biomass, and the chemical hydrolysis yielded appreciable quantities of fermentable sugars, especially xylose. Both yeasts were able to metabolize xylose, but Candida guilliermondii produced only xylitol (9.35 g L-1 in 96 h), while K. marxianus produced ethanol as the main product (10.47 g L-1 in 24 h) and xylitol as byproduct (9.10 g L-1 xylitol in 96 h). Maximum activities of xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase were verified after 24 h of fermentation with C. guilliermondii (0.23 and 0.53 U/mgprot, respectively) and with K. marxianus (0.08 e 0.08 U/mgprot, respectively). Apple pomace has shown potential as a raw material for the fermentation process, and the development of a biotechnological platform for the integrated use of both the hemicellulosic and cellulosic fraction could add value to this residue and the apple production chain.

Abstract
Apple pomace contains a plentiful pectin and cellulose resource which coexist with lignin and hemicellulose by a complex chemical and physical association in the plant cell walls. To increase the value and promote the utilization of apple pomace, it was used to produce pectin and cellulose by chemical treatments. In the case of 110 min, 10% (w/w) acetic acid and 100 °C, extraction yield of pectin reached 19.6%. Response surface methodology was applied to determine the main factors affecting the lignin removal rate (LR). LR was optimal at 70 °C, pH 4.0 and 6.0% NaClO2 concentration for 2 h in a 20% (w/v) ratio. These conditions removed 89.8% lignin from depectinated apple pomace followed by sodium hydroxide treatment for the cellulose. Cellulose was achieved more than 80.7%. Consequently, a large-scale experimental analysis showed that 196.0 g of pectin and 243.9 g of cellulose (90.4% purity) was collectively prepared from 1000 g of apple pomace.

Abstract
Apple pomace, potato peels, and coffee silverskin are attractive agrofood wastes for the production of biofuels and chemicals, due to their abundance and carbohydrate content. As lignocellulosic biomasses, their conversion is challenged by the presence of lignin that prevents hydrolysis of polysaccharides, hence demanding a pretreatment step. In this work, the effectiveness of Pleurotus ostreatus laccases (with and without mediator) to remove lignin, improving the subsequent saccharification, was assessed. Optimized conditions for sequential protocol were set up for all agrofood wastes reaching delignification and detoxification yields correlated with high saccharification. Especially noteworthy were results for apple pomace and coffee silverskin for which 83% of and 73% saccharification yields were observed, by using laccase and laccase mediator system, respectively. The herein developed sequential protocol, saving soluble sugars and reducing the amount of wastewater, can improve the overall process for obtaining chemicals or fuels from agrofood wastes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coffee silverskin, a by-product from coffee roasting industries, was evaluated as a feedstock for biobutanol production by acetone-butanol-ethanol fermentation. This lignocellulosic biomass contained approximately 30% total carbohydrates and 30% lignin. Coffee silverskin was subjected to autohydrolysis at 170 °C during 20 min, with a biomass-to-solvent ratio of 20%, and a subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis with commercial enzymes in order to release simple sugars. The fermentability of the hydrolysate was assessed with four solventogenic strains from the genus Clostridium. In addition, fermentation conditions were optimised via response surface methodology to improve butanol concentration in the final broth. RESULTS The coffee silverskin hydrolysate contained 34.39 ± 2.61 g/L total sugars, which represents a sugar recovery of 34 ± 3%. It was verified that this hydrolysate was fermentable without the need of any detoxification method and that C. beijerinckii CECT 508 was the most efficient strain for butanol production, attaining final values of 4.14 ± 0.21 g/L acetone, 7.02 ± 0.27 g/L butanol and 0.25 ± 0.01 g/L ethanol, consuming 76.5 ± 0.8% sugars and reaching a butanol yield of 0.269 ± 0.008 gB/gS under optimal conditions. CONCLUSIONS Coffee silverskin could be an adequate feedstock for butanol production in biorefineries. When working with complex matrices like lignocellulosic biomass, it is essential to select an adequate bacterial strain and to optimize its fermentation conditions (such as pH, temperature or CaCO3 concentration).

Abstract
Potato peel from a snack factory was assessed as possible feedstock for biobutanol production. This lignocellulosic biomass was subjected to various physicochemical pretreatments (autohydrolysis and hydrolysis with dilute acids, alkalis, organic solvents or surfactants) under different conditions of time, temperature and reagent concentrations, in order to favour the release of sugars and reduce the generation of fermentation inhibitors. Thereafter, the pretreated potato peel was treated enzymatically to complete the hydrolysis. Autohydrolysis at 140 °C and 56 min was the most effective pretreatment, releasing 37.9 ± 2.99 g/L sugars from an aqueous mixture containing 10% (w/w) potato peel (sugar recovery efficiency 55 ± 13%). The fermentability of the hydrolysates was checked with six strains of Clostridium beijerinckii, C. acetobutylicum, C. saccharobutylicum and C. saccaroperbutylacetonicum. C. saccharobutylicum DSM 13864 produced 2.1 g/L acetone, 7.6 g/L butanol and 0.6 g/L ethanol in 96 h (0.186 gB/gS), whereas C. saccharoperbutylacetonicum DSM 2152 generated 1.8 g/L acetone, 8.1 g/L butanol and 1.0 g/L ethanol in 120 h (0.203 gB/gS). Detoxification steps of the hydrolysate before fermentation were not necessary. Potato peel may be an interesting feedstock for biorefineries focused on butanol production.
