Abstract: A method of producing at least one derivate of a carboxylic acid. The method includes reacting a carboxylic acid with an auxiliary alkanol on a first catalyst to form a produced ester. A fraction of the produced ester is optionally separated to form a first separated ester. At least a fraction of said produced ester is reacted with hydrogen on a second catalyst to produce a mixture of product alkanol, auxiliary alkanol and optionally residual ester. The product alkanol is separated from the auxiliary alkanol in the mixture to form separated product alkanol, separated auxiliary alkanol, and optionally a second separated ester. The separated auxiliary alkanol is recycled to the reaction. Methods and catalysts for converting alcohols and acids to hydrocarbon jet and diesel fuels are also described.

Cannabinoid compositions are described including at least one cannabinoid in a specific amount, a primary terpene in a specific amount, at least 5% by weight of a non-cannabinoid, non-terpene, carrier, optionally at least three secondary terpenes; less than 5% by weight glycol; and less than 20% by weight water, where said non-cannabinoid, non-terpene carrier comprises cellulose and the terpenes to cannabinoids weight/weight ratio in said composition is about 0.1 to about 1.0. Also described are the above compositions where said non-cannabinoid, non-terpene carrier comprise less than 5% by weight cellulose and the terpenes to cannabinoids weight/weight ratio in said compositions is about 0.05 to about 1.0, forming terpene-enriched cannabinoid compositions with enhanced therapeutic effect compared with that of a composition comprising the same cannabinoids amounts and one half the amount of said primary terpene.

Abstract: Mixotrophic fermentation method performed to make one or more bioproducts such as alcohols, organic acids of less than 7 carbons, acetone, 2,3-butanediol and mixtures thereof with a microorganism. The mixotrophic fermentation method includes providing an isolated organism and providing a first feedstock and a second feedstock for use in a fermentation medium. The first feedstock includes a carbon source that is metabolized by the native form of the organism at a rate of less than 0.01 g/hr/g cell mass, and the second feedstock includes CO, CO2, carbonate, bicarbonate, H2, glycerol, methanol, formate, urea or mixtures thereof. The mixotrophic fermentation method also includes culturing the organism in the fermentation medium, whereby both feedstocks are metabolized and a fermentation broth is formed, the broth having at least one bioproduct. Optionally, the bioproduct may be separated from the broth.

Abstract: Methods for production of a bioproduct with a microorganism and selective extraction of bioproducts from a fermentation broth. The methods may include mixing a carbon source, a nitrogen source, and an extractant-depleted raffinate to form a fermentation medium, and fermenting the medium with a microorganism to form a fermentation broth having at least one bioproduct. The bioproduct may be extracted from the fermentation broth with an extractant comprising an oxygenated organic compound and a hydrocarbon to form an extract and a raffinate, and the extract may be further separated from the raffinate. The bioproduct may then be separated from the extract, and the extractant may be separated from the raffinate to regenerate the ex tract-depleted raffinate.
