Abstract
Mini review on Corncob biomass: A potential resource for value-added metabolites
Nagarajan Arumugam and Shanmugam Anandakumar
Plant biomass is one of the major renewable raw material sources on earth.It is composed of carbohydrates and aromatic polymers. These carbohydrates (cellulose and hemicellulose) and aromatic polymers (lignin) are a potential resource for the industrial production of value-added products and biofuel. One under-utilized form of plant biomass is corncob. However, there are many difficulties in the industrial production of value added products from corncob hydrolysate. This literature summarizes the advantages and challenges in the various industrial methods for the production of value-added products from corncob biomass in a cost-effective manner.
