Valorization of Gelidium amansii for dual production of D-galactonic acid and 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid by chemo-biological approach.

Valorization of G. amansii biomass for dual production of D-galactonic acid and HMFCA can enrich the product varieties and improve the economic benefits. This study also demonstrates the perspective of making full use of marine feedstocks to produce other value-added products.
