Biomass Resources Corporation Announces ``Ethanol from Pineapple'' Success.BOCA RATON Boca Raton (bō`kə rətōn`), city (1990 pop. 61,492), Palm Beach co., SE Fla., on the Atlantic; inc. 1925. Boca Raton is a popular resort and retirement community that experienced significant industrial development in the 1970s and 80s. , Fla. -- Biomass Resources Corporation (OTC OTC See: Over-the-counter. OTC See over-the-counter market (OTC). Pink Sheets: BMSS BMSS Battle Management Software Suite BMSS Bolton Metro Swimming Squad (UK) ) announced today it has achieved initial success at extracting Ethanol from pineapple fruit and pineapple plant waste. "Today's test results are tremendously significant by demonstrating that we can successfully extract Ethanol from plant waste," said Dr. Arnold Ramirez, Chief Scientist of Biomass. "Current Ethanol processes from products such as sugar cane and corn require the producer to select either food or Ethanol as the end product," Ramirez explains. "By using the unique Biomass Resources method of processing the plant waste we are not required to make a 'food or fuel' decision which provides a 'win-win' situation." Biomass Resources Corporation has established unique methods of processing both the ingestible produce (fruit/vegetable) and the plant waste product to mine valuable by-product by·prod·uct or by-prod·uct n. 1. Something produced in the making of something else. 2. A secondary result; a side effect. by-product Noun 1. extractions. Initially, the company is focusing on the pineapple industry for its production and has established a 5,000 sq. ft. R&D and production facility outside of Cali, Columbia in the heart of the pineapple industry. The company's unique pineapple separation technology is producing several valuable by-products such as: Cellulose and Hemi-Cellulose - Ethanol - this by-product is the key component of ethanol. Recent and future fossil fuel fossil fuel: see energy, sources of; fuel. fossil fuel Any of a class of materials of biologic origin occurring within the Earth's crust that can be used as a source of energy. Fossil fuels include coal, petroleum, and natural gas. limitations have brought the production of ethanol from agriculture sources to the forefront. Biomass Resources has the unique ability to create ethanol from the plant waste as well as the plant fruit (in the case of pineapples). Bromelain bromelain /bro·me·lain/ (bro´me-lan) any of several endopeptidases that catalyze the cleavage of specific bonds in proteins. Different forms are derived from the fruit (fruit b.) and stem (stem b. - This by-product is comprised of a group of enzymes found in pineapple juice and in the stem of pineapple plants. Bromelain has been found to have various nutraceutical benefits. Xylitol- This is a natural by-product from pineapple that is used as a sugar substitute. Xylitol xylitol /xy·li·tol/ (zi´li-tol) a five-carbon sugar alcohol derived from xylose and as sweet as sucrose; used as a noncariogenic sweetener and also as a sugar substitute in diabetic diets. is a non-toxic and safe to take (unlike many other alternative sweeteners). Lignin lignin (lĭg`nĭn), a highly polymerized and complex chemical compound especially common in woody plants. The cellulose walls of the wood become impregnated with lignin, a process called lignification, which greatly increases the strength and - Lignin is derived from pineapple plants and is nontoxic and extremely versatile. Physical and chemical properties differ depending on the extraction technology and can produce such outputs as, cleaning compounds, animal feed pellets, dyes, pigments and more. Protein Laden Plant waste - This by-product, when added to a secondary plant supplement known as Trichanthera Gigantean, produces a beneficial dietary supplement Noun 1. dietary supplement - something added to complete a diet or to make up for a dietary deficiency diet - a prescribed selection of foods vitamin pill - a pill containing one or more vitamins; taken as a dietary supplement .
