In this short commentary, we shed light on white technology, where different residues can be used to compose an optimal culture medium for the simultaneous production of surfactin and 2,3-butanediol. Furthermore, we combine two types of 2,3-butanediol analysis: solid-phase microextraction and liquid-liquid extraction. The simultaneous production of biochemicals is one of the most interesting strategies that could lead to commercial viability of production.
