TL;DR
The extracted α-amylase demonstrated exceptional characteristics, with a saccharification efficiency of 39.3% at 50 °C and notable resistance to detergents and surfactants, illustrating how this approach effectively converts waste into valuable industrial enzymes while promoting environmental sustainability.
Food waste leachate (FWL) is a high-strength organic waste stream that poses increasing disposal and resource recovery challenges. This study developed an integrated enzymatic fermentation strategy to convert FWL into a volatile fatty acid (VFA)-rich carbon source for wastewater denitrification. Screening of ultrasonic...
BACKGROUND The high carbohydrate content of the cellulose and hemicellulose fractions in agricultural crops, along with their by-products and derivative residues (e.g., soybean straw, hulls, sugarcane bagasse, and corn stover), offers a promising resource for biorefinery industries. These lignocellulosic materials, gen...
The conversion of renewable biological resources into value-added products is essential for supporting the transition to a sustainable bioeconomy. This study explores the use of waste apples—a by-product generated in large quantities along the fresh apple supply chain—as feedstock for the production of two industrially...
Agro-industrial byproducts represent an abundant yet underutilized resource for the production of value-added functional ingredients. In this study, potato peel waste was evaluated as a fermentation substrate for the production of antioxidant fermentation-derived preparations using Lactiplantibacillus plantarum ATCC 14...
The growing global demand for sustainable protein sources and the increasing burden of agro-industrial waste have intensified interest in Single Cell Protein (SCP) as an alternative to traditional proteins. SCP, produced from microorganisms such as bacteria, yeasts, fungi, and algae, offers a promising solution for bot...
This study investigated the production of vinegar from waste cassava starch as a sustainable approach to agricultural waste utilization and value addition. Fresh cassava tubers obtained from Mile 1 Market, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, were processed to extract starch, which was hydrolyzed with amylase enzymes to pro...
