It is important for agricultural and food industries to increase their product values through the uses of modern biotechnology and bioprocesses. Our work has been concentrated on the development of several novel bioprocesses for economical production of high-value products from food processing wastes and agricultural commodities. Our recent and ongoing research projects include fermentation of food processing wastes and plant biomass to produce various carboxylic acids (e.g., propionic, butryric, lactic, fumaric, and malic acids), alcohols (mainly n-butanol), and microbial polysaccharides and polymers, and immobilized enzyme for galactooligosaccharides (GOS) production. These bioprocesses are important to the agricultural/food processing industry and address important environmental issues. One example is the process we developed to convert whey permeate, a dairy waste, to calcium magnesium acetate (CMA) as an environmentally friendly, non-corrosive road deicers. Our propionic acid research has resulted in the development of an industrial process for the production of calcium propionate as a natural food preservative widely used in bakery products.

We take an integrated approach to solve an important bioprocess engineering problem: a patented fibrous-bed bioreactor is developed to increase productivity and cell tolerance to a high-concentration of inhibitory metabolites; membrane separation and solvent extraction are used to separate and concentrate fermentation products; and genetic and metabolic engineering of production cells are used to further improve product yields and process efficiency. Our technologies also have applications in the environmental area, such as biofiltration of VOC and biodegradation of hazardous chemicals in industrial waste streams and contaminated groundwater.

In recent years, we have developed several metabolically-engineered strains of clostridia for n-butanol production from lignocellulosic biomass and CO₂, which can lower biobutanol production cost and reduce green house gas emissions by more than 50% compared to existing technologies. An economical production process for green biofuels from renewable biomass and industrial waste gas (carbon dioxide) is sustainable and will benefit the biorefinery industry and society.
