| Furfural is a compound mainly found in agricultural byproducts, and is produced from the hydrolysis and dehydration of xylan contained in lignocellulose using solid acid catalysts. Furfural is also a potential platform for biofuels and inhibits fermentation in yeast. Furfural is a furan derivative. It is a potential substitute for petroleum-based building blocks used in the production of fine chemicals and plastics. Production of furfural by dehydration of fructose, glucose and xylose using a biphasic reactor system has been reported., a Maillard reaction product, is reported to inhibit the growth and alcohol production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Selective conversion of furfural in H2 over SiO2-supported Ni and Ni-Fe bimetallic catalyst has been reported. Furfurals are the are major components of bio-oil.
