Abstract: Method and equipment for production of fermentable saccharides, ethanol, furfural, furane, lignin, acetic acid and formic acid from lignocellulosic and amylaceous materials. The method comprises one-stage or two-stage continuous thermo-compressive hydrolysis of ligno-cellulosic particles, cellulase treatment of unreacted lignocellulose, amylase treatment of formed monosaccharides combined with added amylaceous materials, and fermentation of the combined processed monosaccharide solutions into ethanol. Side products furfural, methanol, acetic acid, formic acid and lignin are recovered and purified, optionally furfural is further converted to furan. An integrated process for recovery and recycling of all products and by-products, and recycling of heat energy is disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process of manufacturing native microbial protein with a low content of nucleic acids, the product being useful as food or feed. The products obtained by the process of the invention may be widely used in the food industry, especially in the meat, milk, and bread industries. These products may replace meat or milk and can also be used in the nutrition of animals. The products may also be used as substitutes for casein, in the fortification of flour, or to improve the quality and value of bread and the like.
