Production of Top 12 Biochemicals Selected by USDOE from Renewable Resources: Status and Innovation covers all important technological aspects of the production of biochemicals from renewable feedstock. All the important technological aspects of biomass conversion for example biomass pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis for cellulosic sugars production followed by the fermentation into chemicals and downstream recovery of the products is reviewed. Recent technological advancements in suitable microorganism development, bioprocess engineering for biomass conversion for cellulosic sugars production and various fermentation strategies and downstream recovery of these top 12 products is presented. Each bio-chemical selected by US Department of Energy i.e. ethanol, xylitol/sorbitol, furans (5-HMF, 2,5-FDCA,), glycerol & its derivatives, hydrocarbons) isoprene, iso-butadienes and others), lactic acid, succinic acid, 3-hydroxy propionic acid, levulinic acid and biohydrogen/biogas is included  in a single book chapter. In addition to the technical aspects of these 12 biochemicals, general technological challenges dealing with lignocellulose refining, perspectives and solutions are elaborated in the book. Also, life cycle analysis, techno-economic viability, and sustainability index of biofuels/biochemicals are comprehensively reviewed in the book.

Dr. Anuj K. Chandel is Assistant Professor in the Department of Biotechnology at the Engineering School of Lorena at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. He has over 20 years of experience working on process optimization and large-scale production of industrial enzymes and vaccine particles, biofuels, and membrane-based separation of fats, proteins, and viruses in industrial and academic research projects. His primary research interest is to develop sustainable processes for bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass into renewable fuels and biochemicals by bridging the gap between research laboratories and industries. He has published 92 articles in peer-reviewed journals and 45 book chapters and has edited 10 books on various aspects of industrial biotechnology. He has worked in India, South Africa, Brazil, and the United States, and presented at more than 45 national and international conferences and workshops. Fernando Segato is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biotechnology at the Engineering School of Lorena at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. He received his Ph.D. in Molecular Biology and Genetics of Microorganisms from the Ribeirão Preto School of Medicine at the University of São Paulo. Dr. Segato has worked as a post-doc at Oklahoma State University on developing designer of expression systems for hyper-protein production. He has also worked as a researcher for the Technical Research Center of Finland--VTT, in molecular biology area and was a visiting professor at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. His research focuses on prospection of hydrolytic and oxidative enzymes applied in lignocellulose depolymerization, exploration of thermophilic fungal genomes, and improvement of fungal cell factories to produce proteins of biotechnological interest. Dr. Segato has published 48 peer-reviewed papers in highly reputed journals and 4 book chapters. He has presented his work in more than 52 national and international conferences, and he has participated in competitions related to synthetic biology around the world.
