Resumo

The biorefinery concept, in which biomass is utilized for the production of fuels and chemicals, emerges as an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and renewable alternative to petrochemical-based production. The hydroxycinnamic acid fraction of lignocellulosic biomass represents an untapped source of aromatic molecules that can be converted to numerous high-value products with industrial applications, including in the flavor and fragrance sector and pharmaceuticals. This review describes several biochemical pathways useful in the development of a biorefinery concept based on the biocatalytic conversion of the hydroxycinnamic acids ferulic, caffeic, and p-coumaric acid into high-value molecules.
