Corncob biomass which is one of the most abundant agricultural residue in India with a high hemicellulose content, can serve as a potential low-cost raw material for food-grade xylitol production. The present study demonstrates a process for xylitol production from corncob biomass with detailed energy and life cycle analysis for viability assessment. The major highlight of the process is the use of microbial fermentation, where biomass-derived D-xylose is converted to xylitol with high selectivity. Overall, 0.502 kg of xylitol crystals could be produced from 3.5 kg of corncob biomass. Simulation analysis revealed that the evaporators are the primary consumers of energy, and the process of heat integration can significantly reduce the energy requirements of the overall process. Environmental impacts of the system evaluated showed emission results of 8.68 kg CO2 equivalent and revealed that marine aquatic and freshwater eco-toxicity are the only possible contributors to the environment. The results suggest that the process would have favourable energy balances, which can be used in pilot plant and heat exchanger network design and operation for xylitol production scale up to 500 L.

	This work examines a sustainable approach for the isolation, characterization and Life Cycle Impact Assessment of cellulose nanofibers derived from post-consumer lottery tickets. The lottery tickets were subjected to bleaching using 15% H2O2 and 10% NaOH in a 5:1 ratio at 80 degrees C, followed by acid hydrolysis using 5% oxalic acid assisted with steam explosion. The isolated cellulose nanofibers were 16 to 36 nm diameter range with a crystallinity index of 84.5%. The zeta potential value of-25.19 mV revealed moderate colloidal stability for nanocellulose suspension. The thermal stability of nanocellulose fibers was reported around 300 degrees C in N2 atmosphere. The films fabricated from the nanocellulose fibers reported a tensile strength of 4.6 +/- 0.90 MPa. The cradle-to-gate Life Cycle Impact Assessment revealed the impact of electricity consumption and bleaching process on the isolation of nanocellulose from waste lottery paper. These findings underline the potential of waste-derived CNFs for sus-tainable applications such as biodegradable packaging while promoting circular economy principles and green nanotechnology through waste valorisation, eco-friendly chemistry, and life cycle sustainability.&lt;/p&gt;
