Submission Status: Open

Submission Deadline: 22 June 2025 

  This topical collection in Bioresources and Bioprocessing seeks contributions on innovative bioprocessing techniques and the utilization of biomass for the production of bioethanol and other bio-based products. Key areas of interest include hydrolysis processes, lime pretreatment, and process control mechanisms. Studies on the use of ion exchange resins, the role of lignin, and the cytological aspects of biomass conversion, particularly focusing on sugar cane bagasse, are highly encouraged. We invite researchers to submit original research and review articles that present new insights and technological advancements in these fields, promoting sustainable and efficient bioethanol production.
