Description - Biobased Industrial Products by National Research Council

Petroleum-based industrial products have gradually replaced products derived from biological materials. However, biologically based products are making a comeback because of a threefold increase in farm productivity and new technologies. This text envisages a biobased industrial future, where starch will be used to make biopolymers and vegetable oils will become a routine component in lubricants and detergents. The book overviews the land resources available for agricultural production, summarises plant materials currently produced, and describes prospects for increasing variettes and yields.
