Non-Solvent Pretreatment of Poly(3-Hydroxybutyrate) for Improved Bio-Based Crotonic Acid Production

In this study, high purity bio-based crotonic acid was obtained by non-solvent pretreatment of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), PHB prior to pyrolysis. PHB was produced by Cupriavidus necator KCTC 2649 utilizing heat-treated oil palm frond juice followed by mild alkaline treatment with 0.05 M NaOH. It was f...
