Abstract

Agricultural residues are rich in bioactive compounds. These residues can be used as an alternate source for the production of different products like biogas, biofuel, mushroom, and tempeh as the raw material in various researches and industries. The use of agro-industrial wastes as raw materials can help to reduce the production cost and also reduce the pollution load from the environment. Agro-industrial wastes are used for manufacturing of biofuels, enzymes, vitamins, antioxidants, animal feed, antibiotics, and other chemicals through solid state fermentation (SSF). A variety of microorganisms are used for the production of these valuable products through SSF processes. Therefore, SSF and their effect on the formation of value-added products are reviewed and discussed.

Highlights

  • Agricultural-based industries produced the vast amount of residues every year

  • If these residues are released to the environment without proper disposal procedure that may cause to environmental pollution and harmful effect on human and animal health

  • Conclusion and future prospectus Agro-industrial wastes or residues are rich in nutrient composition and bioactive compounds

Summary

Introduction

Agricultural-based industries produced the vast amount of residues every year. If these residues are released to the environment without proper disposal procedure that may cause to environmental pollution and harmful effect on human and animal health. The agro-industrial residues are used for solid support in SSF developments for making different beneficial products. Previous studies revealed the production of biofuels from positive agro-industrial residues like rice straw, sweet potato waste, sawdust, potato waste, corn stalks, sugarcane bagasse, and sugar beet waste (Duhan et al 2013; Kumar et al 2014, 2016).
