This book focuses on bioconversion of lignocellulosic residues into
single-cell protein, which offers an alternative to conventional
proteins (such as soybean meal, egg protein or meat protein in animal
feed) that is not affected by the climate. It provides an overview of
the general uses of lignocellulosic residues and their bioconversion
into single-cell protein using microorganisms, as well as the recovery
of the valuable by-products. It also explores the benefits and potential
drawbacks of single-cell protein, with an emphasis on the economic
advantages of such processes. Given its multidisciplinary scope, the
book represents a valuable resource for academics and industry
practitioners interested in the production of single-cell protein from
lignocellulosic residues.
