15.1 Introduction

Biomass is formed from residue contents derived from all organic materials including plants, fungi, algae and crops, etc. through life processes to produce carbohydrates. The conservation, management and utilization of biomass resources are most valuable sustainable development strategies such as produce energy, biomass, biochemicals and is safe for the environment (Gavrilescu 2020). Carbohydrates present in biomass forms the structural blocks of all organic components. Approximately less than 1% of the light energy is converted into chemical energy form via the photosynthesis process and hence stored. The chemical energy in the form of chemical bonds is stored in the structural components of biomass. The efficient processing of biomass by either chemical or biological method reacts with the chemical bonds that stores the energy. The process occurs cyclically. A particular variety of biomass has its specific components depending on their physical and chemical properties with different functions. As the renewable sources of energy ...
