Sustainable production of sorbitol from biomass using green technology approach

Sorbitol is a monosaccharides composed of six-carbon sugar alcohol. Sorbitol is produced from glucose by digestion with lactobacillus bacteria during fermentation process. This research use glucose which is produced from one of nature's most abundant raw material cellulose (sawdust) using enzy...
