Industry and Business Sectors. The major products of the biofuel industry are ethanol, biodiesel, and biogas therefore, research in industry has concentrated mainly on these biofuels. Some small businesses in the biofuel industry include startup research and development companies that study feedstocks (such as cellulose) and approaches for production of biofuels at competitive prices. These companies, many of which are funded by investment firms or government agencies, analyze biofuel feedstocks, looking for new feedstocks or modifying existing ones (corn, sugarcane, or rapeseed). 

There is a very wide range of potentially valuable extracts from plant biomass. Many of these are specific to particular genera or species. Others are found quite widely across the plant kingdom. Ingredients fi om a specific type of plant, e.g. a natural product pharmaceutical ingredient, will normally be extracted in a dedicated facility, which is unlikely to form part of a biorefmery. However, more generic materials found in many types of plant particularly crops associated with biofuel feedstocks e.g. maize, wheat and OSR could be extracted. 

Com oil is used in industry mainly in two applications As a food and biofuel feedstock. Some other notable uses are soap making, mstproofing, medicine and insecticide production. Some important uses of com oil are explained in detail as following.

The International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development (2008) argues on competition of land for food versus land for biofuels feedstock. In principle, higher food prices would not automatically damage poor people. Rather, increases...
