Lavender- and Lavandin-Distilled Straws: an Untapped Feedstock With
Lesage‑Meessen et al. Biotechnol Biofuels (2018) 11:217 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13068-018-1218-5 Biotechnology for Biofuels RESEARCH Open Access Lavender‑ and lavandin‑distilled straws: an untapped feedstock with great potential for the production of high‑added value compounds and fungal enzymes Laurence Lesage‑Meessen1, Marine Bou1, Christian Ginies2, Didier Chevret3, David Navarro1, Elodie Drula1,4, Estelle Bonnin5, José C. del Río6, Elise Odinot1, Alexandra Bisotto1, Jean‑Guy Berrin1, Jean‑Claude Sigoillot1, Craig B. Faulds1 and Anne Lomascolo1* Abstract Background: Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and lavandin (a sterile hybrid of L. angustifolia L. latifolia) essential oils are among those most commonly used in the world for various industrial purposes, including× perfumes, phar‑ maceuticals and cosmetics. The solid residues from aromatic plant distillation such as lavender- and lavandin-distilled straws are generally considered as wastes, and consequently either left in the felds or burnt. However, lavender- and lavandin-distilled straws are a potentially renewable plant biomass as they are cheap, non-food materials that can be used as raw feedstocks for green chemistry industry. The objective of this work was to assess diferent pathways of valorization of these straws as bio-based platform chemicals and fungal enzymes of interest in biorefnery. Results: Sugar and lignin composition analyses and saccharifcation potential of the straw fractions revealed that these industrial by-products could be suitable for second-generation bioethanol prospective. The solvent extrac‑ tion processes, developed specifcally for these straws, released terpene derivatives (e.g. τ-cadinol, β-caryophyllene), lactones (e.g. coumarin, herniarin) and phenolic compounds of industrial interest, including rosmarinic acid which contributed to the high antioxidant activity of the straw extracts. -

3. eHEMieAL eOMPOSITION OF ALeOHOLie BEVERAGES, ADDITIVES AND eONTAMINANTS 3.1 General aspects Ethanol and water are the main components of most alcoholIc beverages, although in some very sweet liqueurs the sugar content can be higher than the ethanol content. Ethanol (CAS Reg. No. 64-17-5) is present in alcoholic beverages as a consequence of the fermentation of carbohydrates with yeast. It can also be manufactured from ethylene obtained from cracked petroleum hydrocarbons. The a1coholic beverage industry has generally agreed not to use synthetic ethanol manufactured from ethylene for the production of alcoholic beverages, due to the presence of impurities. ln order to determine whether synthetic ethanol has been used to fortify products, the low 14C content of synthetic ethanol, as compared to fermentation ethanol produced from carbohydrates, can be used as a marker in control analyses (McWeeny & Bates, 1980). Some physical and chemical characteristics of anhydrous ethanol are as follows (Windholz, 1983): Description: Clear, colourless liquid Boilng-point: 78.5°C M elting-point: -114.1 °C Density: d¡O 0.789 It is widely used in the laboratory and in industry as a solvent for resins, fats and oils. It also finds use in the manufacture of denatured a1cohol, in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics (lotions, perfumes), as a chemica1 intermediate and as a fuel, either alone or in mixtures with gasolIne. Beer, wine and spirits also contain volatile and nonvolatile flavour compounds. Although the term 'volatile compound' is rather diffuse, most of the compounds that occur in alcoholIc beverages can be grouped according to whether they are distiled with a1cohol and steam, or not. -

Water Yaşar Demirel* soluble and organic phases are separated as two main streams out of condenser [9]. After condensing the vapor bio-oil is produced with a yield of up to 65 to 75% on a dry basis.

However, smoke contains a complex group 30 of compounds which may contribute to smoke taint in winegrapes and wine. In this 31 study, a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) based analytical method 32 was developed and validated for the profiling of various smoke taint compounds in 33 wines made from smoke affected fruit. A total of 22 analytes were separated and 34 identified in the GC-MS chromatogram, all of which were selected to evaluate the 35 samples and precision of the method. -

Lignin n Lignin is the second abundant and important organic substance in the plant world. n The incorporation of lignin into the cell walls of plants gave them the chance to conquer the Earth’s land surface. n Lignin increased the mechanical strength properties to such an extent that huge plants such as trees with heights of even more than 100 m can remain upright.

Herein, we investigated the expression pattern of a CCoAOMT orthologue from various tissues and organs during development, and in response to different environmental cues. The full-length CCoAOMT orthologue of kenaf consists of a 744 bp open reading frame (ORF), encoding for 247 amino acids of 27.91 kDa and an isoelectric point (pI) of 5.43. The deduced amino acids of CCoAOMT evidenced a high degree of identity (up to 84%) with other plant CCoAOMT sequences. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated its close relationship with the CCoAOMT of Gossypium hirsutum (ACQ59096). -
