There are global concerns about the environmental, social, and economic consequences associated with generation of food waste. To effectively address this challenge, particularly to develop waste valorisation approaches, it is necessary acquire understanding physicochemical biochemical characteristics This study comprises a systematic overview quantitative assessment biomass, was achieved through comprehensive literature review. The resulting database encompasses physicochemical, biochemical, elemental composition evaluates variability, analyses correlations between components, highlights patterns in composition. Overall, rather variable material. Typology, collection source geographical origin streams main contributing factors variation compositions waste, while season storage temperature appear not be substantially variation. A clear distinction plant-based animal-based biomass can observed animal-matter enriched having high contents protein, lipid ash, but low starch content. On other hand, either lignin or carbohydrates, higher heating value. Fibre content appears an indicative parameter, distinguishing plant from animal correlating strongly lignin-rich, starch-poor biomass. heterogeneity will create challenges developing scaling up appropriate management. current shows that analysis specific parameters, such as fibre content, used, inform choice most route.
