Abstract
Plant-based waste generation occurs on a large scale in agriculture, processing, as well as distribution and retailing processes. In such cases, a large part of the waste is not used properly and also it can cause serious environmental problems if it is not managed in a rational way. Thus, plant-based wastes are rich in sugars, fats and phytochemicals, and a number of valuable compounds, including protein and lignocellulose. The assessment of rich compounds in food industry waste minimizes environmental problems and also increases the economic competitiveness of products in the agro-food industry. This research paper mainly discusses the different types of phases of biorefinery systems and the applications associated with these systems, and then presents the recent positive results in the food industry of plant-based wastes for the production of various value-added products. As a result, techno-economic, ecological and social evaluations are conducted around these prospective issues. From a statistical point of view, in the last ten years, research works directed to the general use of plant-based wastes in order to produce different types of products have increased. For the assessment of waste from the food industry, the complex processing of food waste through the combination of high technologies to produce products in mass form based on the principle of bioprocessing has the necessary advantages. In particular, it should be noted that plant-based wastes can be considered valuable resources for the regular production of biofuels and also chemicals. As a result, there is a great need for diversified economic, social and environmental analyzes for the biorefinery process in the future.
