Abstract: A method for obtaining polyphenols from a vegetable raw material containing same, includes at least the following steps: optionally drying the raw material containing the polyphenols; crushing the raw material; defibrating the crushed raw material in an extruder in the presence of a solvent; separating the soluble phase from the fibers; and recovering the soluble phase, crude extract, containing the polyphenols.

Abstract: A process for producing from a lignocellulosic raw material of (i) an intermediate product that is intended for the production of ethanol, containing polysaccharides, cellulose and hemicelluloses, and (ii) a product containing lignin in an aqueous solution without sulfur residue, this lignin could be precipitated. The process includes a step of pulping the raw material in an extruder at a temperature of between 60° C. and 180° C. and in the presence of a quantity of water that represents between 200% and 450% of the mass of said raw material and in the presence of a strong base at a concentration of between 0.5% and 4% relative to the volume of water.

Abstract: A method for obtaining a fermentable product intended for the production of metabolites by fermentation, includes the following steps: a) detoxification of a polluted ligno-cellulosic raw material including at least one polluting component; solid-liquid extraction in order to extract the polluting component(s) from the ligno-cellulosic raw material by solubilisation using at least one solvent; recovery of the cleaned ligno-cellulosic raw material; b) pre-treatment of the cleaned ligno-cellulosic raw material by defibration; c) enzymatic hydrolysis of the pre-treated ligno-cellulosic raw material in the presence of cellulose, and obtaining a fermentable product; d) optional purification of the resulting fermentable product. The use of the resulting fermentable product for producing metabolites by fermentation, as well as to a specific method for producing ethanol from the fermentable product are also described.

Abstract: A process for the production of an intermediate product from a lignocellulosic raw material that is intended for the production of ethanol, which process includes pulping the raw material in an extruder at a temperature of between 60° C. and 180° C., in the presence of a quantity of water that represents between 200% and 450% of the mass of the raw material and preferably in the presence of a strong acid or a strong base that is weakly concentrated. An intermediate product can be obtained by this process for producing ethanol.

Abstract: The use of at least one citrate/lipid mixture as a plasticizer for biodegradable polymer-based composites that are loaded with plant meal(s), and the biodegradable polymer-based composites loaded with plant meal(s) that comprise at least one citrate.
