Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Chong Kar Fai"
- Chong Kar Fai's research primarily focuses on the production of single cell oil (SCO) from lignocellulosic biomass, specifically utilizing oleaginous microorganisms such as JCM 2320 to convert detoxified desiccated coconut residue into valuable oil.
- A significant aspect of his work includes exploring the challenges and effectiveness of various pretreatment, cell disruption, and extraction methods to enhance lipid recovery from oleaginous yeasts, addressing issues related to the complex cell wall structure of these microorganisms.
- His studies contribute to the broader goal of developing sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels by optimizing the use of waste materials and improving lipid extraction processes in biofuel production.
