Valorization of Food Waste into Single-Cell Protein: An Innovative Technological Strategy for Sustainable Protein Production

Microorganisms, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12(1), P. 166 - 166

Published: Jan. 13, 2024

The rapidly increasing population and climate change pose a great threat to our current food systems. Moreover, the high usage of animal-based plant-based protein has its drawbacks, as these nutritional sources require many hectares land water, are affected by seasonal variations, costly, contribute environmental pollution. Single-cell proteins (SCPs) gaining lot research interest due their remarkable properties, such content that is comparable with other sources; low requirements for water; carbon footprint; short production period. This review explores use waste sustainable feedstock advancement SCP processes. It discusses studies exploit substrate, alongside biocatalysts (bacteria, fungi, yeast, microalgae) used. operational setpoint conditions governing yields fermentation routes elucidated well. also demonstrates how biorefinery concept implemented in literature improve economic potential “waste-to-protein” innovations, this leads establishment multiproduct value chains. A section South African scenario included. technical hurdles facing second-generation processes discussed, together future perspectives. Therefore, technologies could play crucial role acceleration “sustainable market”, tackling global hunger crisis.

Metal–organic framework‐enabled biomass conversion technologies for microalgae bio‐refinery in the food industry

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Aug. 8, 2024

Abstract Biomass is a valuable renewable energy adapted as an alternative to traditional fossil fuels. Apart from fuels, biomass synthesized into highly products that are used in various forms including biofuels, biochemical, bioproducts, packing material, and find practice pharmaceutical, cosmetics, nutraceuticals industries. Particularly, microalgae third‐generation feedstock known for its rich carbon content possesses protein lipids carbohydrates produces variety of green such bioethanol, biohydrogen, biodiesel, biomethane, also fixes emission certain amount the atmosphere. However, conversion presence catalyst metal–organic framework (MOF) yields high‐quality products. A MOF porous crystalline material where structure pore size can be controlled making it suitable catalytic reactions appropriate paths. This review briefly explains prevailing status sustainable features components biorefinery application food industry. properties, characteristics MOF‐based technologies with elaborated. In addition, usage value produced industry importance elucidated. challenges integrating processes operations their solutions presented. © 2024 Society Chemical Industry.
