糖基生物质生产食品化工产品研究进展

Advances in researches on producing food and chemical products from sugar-based biomass

利用生物质为原料通过生物和化工技术制取化工产品可以有效合理地利用农作物副产品,减少污染。但是目前该类产品的生产工艺和技术仍不成熟,产品开发中仍存在较多的技术难题。本文综述了未来有可能商业化的几种生物质食品化工产品,阐明其工艺可行性和其存在的巨大市场前景,同时指出目前食品化工产品生产过程中存在的成本过高、催化剂的耐受性和选择性较差、目标产物分离困难等技术难题。并进一步阐述了未来糖基生物质食品化工产品的研究方向主要为开发更为经济的发酵条件、耐受性和经济性更好的催化剂、更加高效的分离工艺和更具经济效益的新型食品化工产品。在当下石化资源愈加紧缺和生产工艺技术越来越成熟的情况下,糖基生物质食品化工产品的市场竞争力和潜力将会得到极大提升。生物基化工产品的发展将会推动生物炼制技术和化工技术的变革与进步,产生巨大经济效益和社会效益。

Agricultural by-products can be utilized to produce chemical products by biochemical reaction, and it is not harmful to the environment. But the process and technology are still in their infancy, and there are still many problems in product development. This paper focuses on the possibility of bio-based chemical product which may be commercialized. The process feasibility and its huge market prospects are indicated. The existing technical problems, such as high costs, poor selectivity of catalyst and difficulty in separating target product etc are presented. The future direction of development is to develop more economical fermentation conditions, better economic performance catalyst, more efficient separation process, more cost-effective new bio-based chemical product and so on. Under the circumstances of petrochemical resources becoming more scarce and biomass utilization technology becoming more mature, the market competitiveness of sugar-based biomass food and chemical product can be greatly improved. The development of bio-based chemical products will promote the reform and progress of bio-refining technology and chemical technology, and bring about great economic and social benefits.
