Abstract
Today, sustainable chemistry is a key trend in the chemical manufacturing industry due mainly to concerns over the global environment and resource security. In sustainable chemical manufacture, the choice of a bio-based feedstock plays a pivotal pillar. In terms of feedstock utilization for producing HMF, which is a multivalent platform intermediate easily convertible to valuable chemical products; biopolymers, biofuels, and other important chemicals, seagrass biomasses can be more favorable feedstocks compared with land plant resources due primarily to easy availability and no systematic farming. Moreover, seagrass feedstocks could contribute cost-effectively and sustainably producing HMF by exploiting the beach-cast seagrasses on seagrass-prairies with no feedstock cost, indicating that seagrass biomasses could be a most promising biofeedstock source for sustainable HMF production. We afford a platform bioprocessing technology that has not been attempted before for sustainable HMF production using raw seagrass biomass. This bioprocess can be operated by simple reaction conditions using inorganic Brønsted acids (mainly HCl) and ionic liquid solvents at relatively low temperatures (120-130 °C). In addition, some bioengineering strategies for improving the growth of seagrass biomass and the quantity/quality of nonstructural carbohydrates (starch, sucrose) that can be used as the feeding substrates for HMF production are also discussed. The main aim of this review is to provide some important information about breakthrough bio/technologies conducive to cost-effective and sustainable HMF production.

Abstract
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has been identified as one of the most promising biomass-based multi-purpose platform molecules. Innovative protocols, namely electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and microwave (MW)-assisted chemistry, as well as continuous-flow systems, add a new dimension and another promising toolbox for the oxidation of HMF in recent years. This Minireview deals with recent progress in the catalytic oxidation of HMF to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and other intermediates using noble, non-noble, and metal-free systems deploying emerging protocols. Selective HMF downstream oxidation products could be obtained not only via common catalyst modifications, namely nature of the metal, preparative method, and the property of deployed support, but also by using innovative processes.
