Abstract

The depletion in fossil feedstocks, increasing oil prices, and the ecological problems associated with CO2 emissions are forcing the development of alternative resources for energy, transport fuels, and chemicals: the replacement of fossil resources with CO2 neutral biomass. Allied with this, the conversion of crude oil products utilizes primary products (ethylene, etc.) and their conversion to either materials or (functional) chemicals with the aid of co-reagents such as ammonia and various process steps to introduce functionalities such as -NH2 into the simple structures of the primary products. Conversely, many products found in biomass often contain functionalities. Therefore, it is attractive to exploit this to bypass the use, and preparation of, co-reagents as well as eliminating various process steps by utilizing suitable biomass-based precursors for the production of chemicals. It is the aim of this mini-review to describe the scope of the possibilities to generate current functionalized chemical materials using amino acids from biomass instead of fossil resources, thereby taking advantage of the biomass structure in a more efficient way than solely utilizing biomass for the production of fuels or electricity.

  • Banana peel is a good source of cellulose (7.6-9.6%), lignin (6-12%), pectin (10-21%), glucose, galactose, arabinose, rhamnose, xylose and hemicelluloses (6.4-9.4%).

    “Additionally, banana peel is a good source of cellulose (7.6-9.6 %), lignin (6-12 %), pectin (10-21 %), glucose, galactose, arabinose, rhamnose, xylose and hemicelluloses (6.4-9.4 %) [33].”

    From Functional, nutritional and medicinal potential of banana peel (2023) · cites this paper as [33]

    The paper’s section on using amino acids as feedstocks discusses waste protein sources and potato-starch waste, not banana peel. Searches of our full-text copy for banana peel, the listed sugars, and the stated cellulose, lignin, pectin, and hemicellulose percentages found no passage addressing the claim. (LLM, conf=0.77)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
