Biocatalytic upgrading of fusel oil from bioethanol production to levulinate esters as renewable fuel oxygenates

The transition toward a sustainable bioeconomy requires efficient strategies for converting renewable biomass and industrial side streams into value-added chemicals and fuels. Fusel oil is an important coproduct of bioethanol fermentation and levulinic acid (LA), a key platform molecule derived from lignocellulosic bio...
