The increasing demand for renewable energy sources has led to significant interest in second-generation biofuels derived from lignocellulosic biomass and waste materials. This review underscores the pivotal role of valorization meeting global needs, mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, fostering a circular bioeconomy. Key pretreatment methods—including steam explosion, pressure treatment, chemical pretreatment—are analyzed their ability enhance accessibility cellulose hemicellulose enzymatic saccharification. Advances cellulolytic enzyme development fermentation strategies, such as use genetically engineered microorganisms capable fermenting both hexoses pentoses, are discussed detail. Furthermore, potential biorefinery systems is explored, highlighting capacity integrate into biofuel production alongside high-value bioproducts. Case studies recent trends bioethanol biogas examined, providing insights current state research its industrial applications. While hold considerable promise sustainable emissions reduction, challenges related cost optimization, process scalability, technological barriers must be addressed enable large-scale implementation. serves comprehensive foundation bridging gap between laboratory application, emphasizing need continued innovation interdisciplinary collaboration technologies.

Bread waste valorization: a review of sustainability aspects and challenges

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 8

Опубликована: Фев. 5, 2024

Bread waste (BW) poses a significant environmental and economic challenge in the United Kingdom (UK), where an estimated 20 million slices of bread are wasted daily. BW contains polysaccharides with great potential for its valorization into building block chemicals. While holds tremendous promise, it is emerging field low technology readiness levels (TRLs), necessitating careful consideration sustainability commercial-scale utilization. This review offers comprehensive assessment aspects valorization, encompassing economic, environmental, social factors. The primary objective this article to enhance our understanding benefits challenges associated approach. Incorporating circular bioeconomy principles crucial addressing global issues stemming from food degradation. investigates role BW-based biorefineries promoting concept. study concludes by discussing opportunities reduction, along proposing strategies tackle these challenges.
