Abstract

Today, there is a huge necessity to replace petrochemical-derived products by its biobased counterparts, being biomass a renewable alternative for sustainable goods production. Among different potential possibilities, the production of renewable chemical precursors has great interest at global scale. Especially, biomass-derived sugar-based platforms can provide widely employed renewable chemical precursors, such as organic acids, which are useful for obtaining many different industrial products: plastics, biofuels, surfactants, coatings, etc. These new bioproducts could promote the transition of the actual fuel-based economy to a new biobased economy. This chapter summarizes the knowledge in the fractionation of biomass polysaccharides, especially cellulose and hemicellulose, and reviews the procedures employed for the production of organic acids from these biomass polymers. Furthermore, the global value of the most commonly employed organic acids is summarized.
