摘要:
The invention includes methods of processing plant material by adding water to form a mixture, heating the mixture, and separating a liquid component from a solid-comprising component. At least one of the liquid component and the solid-comprising component undergoes additional processing. Processing of the solid-comprising component produces oils, and processing of the liquid component produces one or more of glycerol, ethylene glycol, lactic acid and propylene glycol. The invention includes a process of forming glycerol, ethylene glycol, lactic acid and propylene glycol from plant matter by adding water, heating and filtering the plant matter. The filtrate containing starch, starch fragments, hemicellulose and fragments of hemicellulose is treated to form linear poly-alcohols which are then cleaved to produce one or more of glycerol, ethylene glycol, lactic acid and propylene glycol. The invention also includes a method of producing free and/or complexed sterols and stanols from plant material.

A process is disclosed for conversion of salts of β-hydroxy carbonyl compounds forming useful conversion products including, e.g., α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and/or salts of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. Conversion products find use, e.g., as feedstock and/or end-use chemicals.
摘要:
A process is disclosed for conversion of ammonium salts of β-hydroxy carbonyl compounds forming useful conversion products including, e.g., α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and/or ammonium salts of α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds recovered at a high molar yield. Conversion products find use, e.g., as feedstock and/or end-use chemicals.
