From agro-waste to high-value bioproducts: an optimization example of solid-state fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Agro-industrial-residues, such as potato peel waste (PPW), constitute a substantial portion of the waste stream and offer significant opportunities for valorization within circular bioeconomy frameworks. In this study, a laboratory-scale solid-state fermentation (SSF) process for biosurfactant production using fresh or...

Production, Optimization and Characterization of Biobased Itaconic Acid from Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Findings demonstrate the potential of S. cerevisiae for producing structurally confirmed bio-based IA and provide a proof of concept for its use as a renewable monomer for poly(itaconic acid) synthesis, supporting its further investigation for the development of bio-based polymeric materials.
