"As the global population continues to increase, the accumulation of food wastes is becoming a major problem, causing resource depletion and a wide range of environmental implications, including greenhouse gas emissions. A viable way to reduce environmental pollution and achieve a sustainable bioeconomy is to convert food wastes into high-end bioproducts.5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a promising platform chemical that can be produced from wasted food such as fruits and vegetables. One of the potential HMF derivatives is 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, which has applications in the synthesis of metal-organic framework materials and polymers, among others. Currently, the conversion of HMF from food wastes suffers from low production yield mainly due to a limited hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass and the low selectivity of the conventional catalysts. HMF conversion from food wastes can be improved by combining an appropriate pretreatment with a high-performance catalyst-solvent system. Bananas are one of the most consumed foods in the world. Banana peel (BP), a widely discarded waste product, has a high carbohydrate content, making it an appealing feedstock for HMF production. In this study, BP was efficiently hydrolyzed under solvent-free mechanoenzymatic conditions, without the need for chemical pretreatment. Mechanoenzymatic hydrolysis is a promising environmentally friendly alternative to conventional enzyme hydrolysis of BP. Under optimal reaction conditions, mechanoenzymatic hydrolysis of BP produced higher yields of glucose (40.5 g/100 g dry BP) and fructose (17.2 g/100 g dry BP) than chemical hydrolysis (33 and 14.5 g/100 g dry BP glucose and fructose, respectively). The AlCl3˟H2O-DMSO/H2O system was used to transform the crude sugars generated by hydrolysis, resulting in 71.9 mol% HMF production"--

Global energy use is approximately 140 000 TWh per year. Interestingly, biomass production amounts to approximately 270 000 TWh per year, or roughly twice as much, whereas the official figure of biomass use for energy applications is 10-13% of the global energy use. This shows that biomass is not a marginal energy resource but more than capable of

HANDBOOK of BIOMASS VALORIZATION for INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS The handbook provides a comprehensive view of cutting-edge research on biomass valorization, from advanced fabrication methodologies through useful derived materials, to current and potential application sectors. Industrial sectors, such as food, textiles, petrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, generate massive amounts of waste each year, the disposal of which has become a major issue worldwide. As a result, implementing a circular economy that employs sustainable practices in waste management is critical for any industry. Moreover, fossil fuels, which are the primary sources of fuel in the transportation sector, are also being rapidly depleted at an alarming rate. Therefore, to combat these global issues without increasing our carbon footprint, we must look for renewable resources to produce chemicals and biomaterials. In that context, agricultural waste materials are gaining popularity as cost-effective and abundantly available alternatives to fossil resources for the production of a variety of value-added products, including renewable fuels, fuel components, and fuel additives. Handbook of Biomass Valorization for Industrial Applications investigates current and emerging feedstocks, as well as provides in-depth technical information on advanced catalytic processes and technologies that enable the development of all possible alternative energy sources. The 22 chapters of this book comprehensively cover the valorization of agricultural wastes and their various uses in value-added applications like energy, biofuels, fertilizers, and wastewater treatment. Audience The book is intended for a very broad audience working in the fields of materials sciences, chemical engineering, nanotechnology, energy, environment, chemistry, etc. This book will be an invaluable reference source for the libraries in universities and industrial institutions, government and independent institutes, individual research groups, and scientists working in the field of valorization of biomass.

Biotechnology has immense potential for resolving environmental problems and augmenting food production. Particularly, it offers solutions for converting solid wastes into value-added items. In food processing industries that generate voluminous by-products and wastes, valorization can help offset growing environmental problems and facilitate the sustainable use of available natural resources. Valorization of Food Processing By-Products describes the potential of this relatively new concept in the field of industrial residues management. The debut book in CRC Press’s new Fermented Foods and Beverages Series, this volume explores the current state of the art in food processing by-products with respect to their generation, methods of disposal, and problems faced in terms of waste and regulation. It reviews the basic fundamental principles of waste recycling, including process engineering economics and the microbiology and biochemical and nutritional aspects of food processing. It discusses fermentation techniques available for valorization of food processing by-products, enzyme technologies, and analytical techniques and instrumentation. Individual chapters examine the by-products of plant-based and animal-based food industries. The book also delves into socioeconomic considerations and environmental concerns related to food processing by-products. It surveys research gaps and areas ripe for further inquiry as well as future trends in the field. An essential reference for researchers and practitioners in the food science and food technology industry, this volume is also poised to inspire those who wish to take on valorization of food by-products as a professional endeavor.
