Resumo(s)
Renewable resources have been the focus of both the scientific and industrial
communities as substitutes for fossil fuels. Numerous studies have addressed the
conversion of biomass to value-added chemicals, to materials, to fuels and into power
and/or heat, i.e. biorefinery. The main goal of this thesis is to develop alternative
extraction processes to isolate value-added constituents from biomass residues. Cork and
birch outer bark were selected since the corresponding processing industries generate
significant amounts of residues with high contents of value-added compounds, namely
suberin (structural component) and triterpenes (extractable components).(...)
