the researchers noted that a bioprocess called 'simultaneous enzymatic biotransformation and microbial fermentation' can be used to derive starch from any plant cellulose.
The bioprocess, which is covered under a provisional patent application, can be easily scaled up for commercial production, and is environmentally friendly as it does not require expensive equipment, heat, or chemical reagents, and does not produce any waste.
This study paves way for the capability to develop food from any
