Bioprocessing Butanol into More Valuable Butyl Butyrate.

Bioprocessing Butanol into More Valuable Butyl Butyrate. Trends Biotechnol. 2019 Apr 23;: Authors: Xin F, Zhang W, Jiang M Abstract The toxicity of butanol to microbial cells makes it difficult to scale-up the acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation process. Bioconversion of butanol into more valuable and nontoxic short-chain esters, such as butyl butyrate which is widely used in the food, beverage, and biofuel sectors, offers a promising alternative.
