Economics of 3-Hydroxypropionic Acid from Glucose Report 18211
About This Report This report presents the economics of 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) production from glucose syrup using a fermentation process. The process examined is similar to Cargill process. In this process, a 70 wt% glucose-water syrup is used as raw material.
