  • High force and high stress destructuring of cellulosic biomass
    Patent number: 10227623
    Abstract: A process for mechanical destructuring of cellulosic biomass was developed that makes use of a short application of high compression, impact, and shearing forces. The biomass may be destructured using a specific energy input that is less than 40% of the total combustible energy of the biomass. The destructured biomass, with or without saccharification and/or in-feed glycosyl hydrolase enzymes, may be used in feed applications.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 18, 2014
    Date of Patent: March 12, 2019
    Assignee: E I DU PONT DE NEMOURS AND COMPANY

  • HIGH FORCE AND HIGH STRESS DESTRUCTURING FOR STARCH BIOMASS PROCESSING
    Publication number: 20150147786
    Abstract: A process for mechanical destructuring of starch-based biomass was developed that makes use of a short application of high compression, impact, and shearing forces. The biomass may be destructured using a specific energy input that is less than 40% of the total combustible energy of the biomass. The destructured starch-based biomass, with or without saccharification and/or in-feed glycosyl hydrolase enzymes, may be used in feed applications. The destructured starch-based may saccharified to produce syrups and fermentable sugars, and for production of products including ethanol using a biocatalyst.
