Enhanced productivity of nutrient-rich single cell protein from Paradendryphiella arenariae PG1 through valorization of agro-industrial waste: A Green symphony from Waste-to-Protein Approach

The rise in global population strains agro-industrial waste management, positioning single-cell protein (SCP) production as a cost-effective solution. Evaluating eight agro-waste residues identified wheat bran with a high solid recovery rate (67.15 %). SCP production increased from 1.29 ± 0.23 gL−1 to 21.05 ± 0.33 gL−1, achieving a microbial conversion efficiency of 90.88 % by Paradendryphiella arenariae (PG1). Nucleic acid content in SCP was reduced by 31 % using NaOH and 36 % via heat shock, significantly enhancing SCP quality, digestibility, and safety. SCP's impact on Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) revealed a maximum lifespan of 18 ± 0.2 days, notable pharyngeal pumping rates (117 ± 2.541 and 67 ± 3.473 min−1 on days 5 and 10), and body bending rates (115.3 ± 0.86 and 44.8 ± 0.28 min−1 on days 5 and 10). This comprehensive approach demonstrates the promise of SCP production in sustainable waste management, resource optimization, and detailed toxicity analysis in C. elegans, broadening the potential applications of SCP in various fields.

Agro-industrial waste management employing benefits of artificial intelligence.

By 2050, the world's population is predicted to reach over 9 billion, which requires 70% increased production in agriculture and food industries to meet demand. This presents a significant challenge for the agri-food sector in all aspects. Agro-industrial wastes are rich in bioactive substances and other medicinal properties. They can be used as a different source for manufacturing products like biogas, biofuels, mushrooms, and tempeh, the primary ingredients in various studies and businesses.

Agro-Industrial Wastes as Potential Substrates for Rhamnolipid Production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa USM-AR2.

Rhamnolipid has gained much attention in various fields owing to its distinctive functional properties compared to conventional chemical surfactants, which are mostly derived from petroleum feedstock. Production cost is one of the main challenges in rhamnolipid production, particularly when using refined substrates. One possible solution is to use agro-industrial wastes as substrates for rhamnolipid production. This is a promising strategy due to their abundance and commercially low value, while simultaneously alleviating an agro-industrial waste management problem in the environment. This study aims to evaluate agro-industrial wastes from local crops as possible low-cost alternative substrates for rhamnolipid production by a local isolate, Pseudomonas aeruginosa USM-AR2. Various liquid wastes, namely sugarcane molasses, rice washing water, overly mature coconut (OMC) water, empty fruit bunch (EFB) steam effluent, palm sludge oil (PSO) and palm oil mill effluent (POME) were screened as the main carbon source supplementing mineral salt medium (MSM) in the fermentation of P. aeruginosa USM-AR2. Batch fermentation was carried out in a shake flask system, agitated at 200 rpm and incubated at room temperature, 27 ± 2°C for 120 h. Among the substrates tested, PSO exhibited the highest biomass at 20.78 g/L and rhamnolipid production at 1.07 g/L. This study has shown the potential of agro-industrial wastes in Malaysia as an alternative resource for rhamnolipid production, transforming them into value added products, while reducing the amount of wastes discharged into the environment.

Microbes' role in environmental pollution and remediation: a bioeconomy focus approach.

Bioremediation stands as a promising solution amid the escalating challenges posed by environmental pollution. Over the past 25 years, the influx of synthetic chemicals and hazardous contaminants into ecosystems has required innovative approaches for mitigation and restoration. The resilience of these compounds stems from their non-natural existence, distressing both human and environmental health. Microbes take center stage in this scenario, demonstrating their ability of biodegradation to catalyze environmental remediation. Currently, the scientific community supports a straight connection between biorefinery and bioremediation concepts to encourage circular bio/economy practices. This review aimed to give a pre-overview of the state of the art regarding the main microorganisms employed in bioremediation processes and the different bioremediation approaches applied. Moreover, focus has been given to the implementation of bioremediation as a novel approach to agro-industrial waste management, highlighting how it is possible to reduce environmental pollution while still obtaining value-added products with commercial value, meeting the goals of a circular bioeconomy. The main drawbacks and challenges regarding the feasibility of bioremediation were also reported.

Properties and adsorptive performance of candlenut shell and its porous charcoals for aqueous mercury(II) removal

The present work investigated the functional properties of candlenut shell particles (CSP), candlenut shell charcoal (CSC), and candlenut shell activated charcoal (CSAC) for Hg2+ removal. The highest Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) surface area of 1183 m2/g and total pore volume of 0.674 cm3/g were achieved from the CSAC. The aqueous Hg2+ removal performance was evaluated via a continuous flow experiment at 25 °C. Although the CSP and CSC showed a relatively good adsorption performance, the CSAC presented superior adsorption properties to remove Hg2+ from water. Its pristine mineral constituents and large surface area corresponded to the highest adsorption capacity of 214.36 mg/g. These findings were confirmed by the energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis (EDX) which was lineal substantiation for the Hg2+ adsorption onto the CSAC film. It appears feasible to use candlenut shell (CS) waste as an economical precursor for the high-grade bioadsorbent production and augmentation of agro-industrial waste management.

Effect of supplementing biochar obtained from different wastes on biochemical and yield response of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.): An experimental study

This study investigates the utilization of selected agro-industrial wastes as feedstock for biochar production and subsequent cultivation of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). The biochar was analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM-Zeiss) coupled with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy for structural, morphological, and elemental analysis. For this, French bean was grown using selected wastes such as horse manure biochar (HMB), rice husk biochar (RHB), algal residue biochar (ALB1 and ALB2), coal waste, and control treatments, without any amendment. The results showed that the maximum significant (p < 0.05) seedling germination (91.05 ± 1.30%), fresh biomass (8.90 ± 0.30 g), growth rate (1.27 ± 0.03 g/day), seedling length (13.20 ± 0.20 cm), root length (7.20 ± 0.32 cm), total chlorophyll content (4.56 ± 0.41 mg/g fwt.), plant height (43.63 ± 2.17 cm), number of leaves (27.00 ± 2.00), pod length (19.58 ± 3.17 cm), and pod yield/plant (65.32 ± 2.56 g) was observed using HMB treatment. The enzymatic activities such as catalase (CAT: 82.17 ± 3.20 μg/g), superoxide dismutase (SOD: 108.27 ± 3.10 μg/g), urease (6.10 ± 0.18 μg/g) and acid phosphatase (3.97 ± 0.03 μg/g) were also recorded highest using HMB. Overall, the germination, biochemical, and yield response of French bean in different treatments followed an order of HMB > coal > ALB1 > ALB2 > RHB > control. This study presents a sustainable method of agro-industrial waste management through biochar production and synergistic crop cultivation contributing to the circular economy concept.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE REAL-TIME PCR METHODOLOGY FOR TESTING MYCOTOXIGENIC MICROORGANISMS IN GRAPE MARC

Agro-industrial waste management is an important problem of modern society as agriculture and food industry are important sources of waste. Wine production generates a considerable amount of winemaking waste (grape marc). Grape marc can be a source of natural dyes, antioxidants and could have various applications, if it is confirmed that it does not contain technogenic contaminants or unwanted microorganisms, for example, producers of mycotoxins. The paper developed the Real -Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (Real-Time PCR) methodology for testing the presence of potentially mycotoxogenic fungal species capable of producing ochratoxin A (OTA), which could be applied before grape marc processing. Based on the non-ribosomal peptide sequence of OTA, involved in ochratoxin biosynthesis, the primers have been developed for the detection of microorganisms potentially capable of producing ochratoxin A.

Vermicomposting of biomass ash with bio-waste for solubilizing nutrients and its effect on nitrogen fixation in common beans

In the last two decades, biomass incineration plants have been widely used to manage bio-waste, crop and forest residues that produce recalcitrant nutrient-rich biomass ash (BA), but have limited their use for agricultural purposes. Considering the urgent needs for a sustainable agro-industrial waste management, the present study aimed to fulfill the scarcity of the literature in this field by focusing on one of the bioremediation strategies (vermicomposting) to solubilize the potential plant nutrients, specifically phosphorus of the BA for crop fertilization. BA was collected from the biomass power plant incinerating poultry litter, forest and crop harvest residues, and then thoroughly incorporated into dewatered dairy manure to obtain final NPK content of 0.0 ( T 0 ), 3.5 ( T 1 ), 7.0 ( T 2 ), and 10.0% ( T 3 ) on a dry weight basis. Initially, the mixtures were pre-composted aerobically for 3 weeks to remove toxic gases and then subjected to vermicomposting for 60 days. The sequential extraction results indicated that vermicomposting significantly improved solubility of total phosphorus (TP) and Olsen-P by 69%–79% and 5%–8%, respectively, depending on the BA doses. Pot experiments were conducted using common bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in 0.0%, 3.5% BA, 7.0% BA and 10.0% BA vermicompost, respectively. The results indicated that BA vermicompost amendments could promote the growth of bean plants, increase the content of chlorophyll contents in the leaves, and significantly enhance the synthesis of leghemoglobin in nitrogen-fixing compartment of root nodules ( p < 0.05), which helps the activation of the biological nitrogen fixation. Findings of this study clearly demonstrated that vermicomposting of BA with bio-waste could ameliorate the solubility of nutrients from BA, and nutrient-enriched vermicompost could improve the nodulation and nitrogen-fixing ability of legume crops, thereby enhancing its recycling capacity for closing nutrient loop. • Vermicomposting of biomass ash (BA) with bio-waste ameliorates nutrient solubility. • Vermicompost having 7% NPK equivalent BA stimulates nodulation and leghemoglobin. • Vermicomposting of biomass ash promotes the nodulation of common bean plants. • BA vermicompost increases leghemoglobin efficiency up to 10% in bean crops nodule. • Bio-waste amendments offer an agro-sustainable way for closing nutrient flow loop.

An Integrated Approach for the Assessment of Environmental Sustainability in Agro-Industrial Waste Management Practices: The Case of the Tequila Industry

Sustainable waste management is a key component needed to achieve multiple of the Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations for the year 2030. Such waste management can reduce the degradation of superficial water sources and can contribute to the sustainable and efficient use of resources. Due to their usually high nutrient and organic loads, agro-industrial wastes pose a threat to soil and water resources and are a major contributor to greenhouse gas generation. In this study, a novel approach was proposed to assess the environmental sustainability of vinasse management practices, integrating an extensive physicochemical characterization of tequila vinasses, a GIS-based weighted overlay analysis and a scenario analysis. Mathematical models were applied for the determination of discharged pollutants (nitrogen, phosphorus, BOD5), as well as greenhouse gas emissions. This methodology was applied to an environmental sustainability assessment of the management practices of tequila vinasses, which are one of the main waste streams generated by the agro-industry in the Mexican state of Jalisco and are one of the main contributors to organic and nutrient loads affecting the water quality of Jalisco’s superficial water sources. Through this integrated approach, critical regions for the management of tequila vinasses were determined and an extensive physicochemical characterization of tequila vinasses was performed and applied to assess the environmental sustainability of four management scenarios for tequila vinasses. These results can be used by decision-makers for the implementation of public policy and infrastructure for the improvement of local and regional waste management systems. Additionally, these data may be used to increase the environmental sustainability of the tequila industry. The proposed methodology has the potential to be applied to different waste-intensive regions as well as different organic waste streams for the assessment of the environmental sustainability of specific management practices considering the local and regional context.

Utilization of Liquid Fertilizers for Agro-Industrial Waste Management and Reducing Challenges through Nano-encapsulation-A Review

Due to the robust demand for food, fiber, and bio energy resources, there is a rapid hire for strategies that perform utilization of finite resources, providing a real provocation to the agricultural industry, investigator and collaborators. Released funds in agriculture around past years have seen the growth of organic manures and fertilizers. The enhanced use of microbial inoculants (Bacteria, Cyanobacteria and Fungi) in crop plants has increase the mobilization of key microelements in soil such as potassium, phosphorous and nitrogen. In account of the large scale agro-industrial waste collected in a year throughout the world, it contained a major share of lignocelluloses and starch. Here, we advocate the terminology, nano encapsulation of bio-inoculants and their potential in providing macronutrients for variant soil and plant biomes. Evidence to support larger crop yield are currently disconcerted by insufficient plot study and poor knowledge on their essential metabolism, which had led to conflicting reports on their field performance. There is moreover, a scope to improve sustainable macronutrient profiling in soil plant symbiotic system. The further investigation can be performed on studies that suggest entangling activities of microbial interactions in soil.

Utilization of oil palm decanter cake for valuable laccase and manganese peroxidase enzyme production from a novel white-rot fungus, Pseudolagarobasidium sp. PP17-33.

Oil palm decanter cake (OPDC) in the current study was converted to valuable products as laccase and manganese peroxidase (MnP) by an undescribed strain of the white-rot fungus, Pseudolagarobasidium sp. PP17-33. The optimization to enhance the production of enzymes through solid-state fermentation was performed using Plackett-Burman design and response surface methodology. The highest observed laccase was 5.841 U/gds and observed MnP was 5.156 U/gds, which enhanced yield by 2.59-fold and 1.94-fold from the non-optimization. The optimized medium (mg/g of OPDC) consisted of 0.852mg CuSO4·5H2O, 13.512mg glucose, 2mg yeast extract, 0.2mg KH2PO4, 1.5mg MgSO4·7H2O, 0.01mg FeSO4·7H2O, 0.15mg MnSO4·H2O, 0.01mg ZnSO4·7H2O and 0.3mg Tween 80 (pH 5.0) when incubated at 30°C for 7days. The most significant variables of laccase and MnP productions were CuSO4·5H2O and glucose concentrations. This study is the first to report on the production of ligninolytic enzymes from OPDC waste using white-rot fungi. In addition, five different white-rot fungi, Coriolopsis aspera, C. retropicta, Dentipellis parmastoi, Nigroporus vinosus and Tyromyces xuchilensis, are newly observed producers of ligninolytic enzymes in Thailand. The results obtained from this study are significant not only for agro-industrial waste management but also for value-added enzyme production.

Assessment of phytochemical content and bioactivities of quince alcohol distillery waste

The processing of fruits results in high amounts of waste materials without having any significant commercial values. Fruit wastes represent an important source of phytochemicals with human health benefits, so isolation and further utilization of these compounds is an important issue in agro-industrial waste management. New aspects concerning the use of these wastes for the production of food additives or supplements with high nutritional value have gained increasing interest because these are economically attractive and high-value products. This study discusses the potential of the quince waste, which remains after alcoholic distillation, as a source of bioactive phytochemicals (phenolics, flavonoids and carotenoids). Antioxidant activities were measured by scavenging effect on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,20-azinobis(3-ethyl-benzothiazoline- 6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radicals, ?-carotene bleaching assay and reducing power. The anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by protein denaturation assay. Quince waste extract expressed good concentration-dependent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

Upgrading of moist agro-industrial wastes by hydrothermal carbonization

This work focuses in the application of the hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) technology as a possible moist agro-industrial waste management treatment. Through this technique, olive mill, canned artichoke and orange wastes (OMW, CAW and OJW, respectively) were carbonized in a lab-scale high pressure reactor at different temperatures (200–250°C) and durations (2, 4, 8 and 24h) in order to obtain useful bioenergy feedstocks. The effect of the residence time and temperature on the properties of the bio-char obtained was studied through different characterization techniques. Material and energy balances were also performed to determine the potential energy saving of hydrothermal carbonization versus dry thermal treatments like torrefaction (TF). It is found that the moisture content of HTC-hydro-chars decreases as the temperature and duration increase, which implies that wet biomass can be upgraded and, at the same time, dewatered through HTC. The best results are found for the OMW, whose moisture content decreases from over 70% to less than 30% for the experiments carried out under the more severe conditions. Consequently, it is be possible to reach energy savings over 50% by using HTC instead of TF technologies. Regarding the hydro-char properties, the hydrothermal carbonization of the three organic wastes treated leaded to hydro-chars that present carbon contents and heating values closed to those of brown coal and great energy densifications, depending on the type of waste. Accordingly, it can be concluded that it is feasible to manage moist agro-industrial wastes via HTC, which is ostensibly more efficient than TF in terms of energy consumption.

Utilization of Mango Kernel Lipid Fraction to Replace Normal Shortenings in Cereal Baked Products

Management of agro-industrial waste is an important area of study for researchers with multifarious objectives. Conversion of such wastes into useful food products has emerged as a bountiful industry e.g. mango seed kernel. It contains appreciable quantities of edible oil thus holds various food applications due to presence of higher amount of oleic and stearic acid. In the present research, the lipid fraction from mango kernel were extracted and explored for their potential to replace (varying from 5 to 25%) normal shortenings in cereal baked products. In the first phase, lipid fraction was characterized for various physical and chemical traits. Later, the products were evaluated for their textural and color profile along with physical and chemical characteristics. Lastly, trained taste panel was hired to assess the suitability of product for commercialization. The results were quite conclusive that the lipid fraction melts at normal temperature (26.2°C) thus can be used to replace normal biscuits shortening. The results further indicated that addition of mango kernel lipid fraction influenced physical characters of cookies significantly, while chemical parameters remained insignificant. However, peroxide and thiobarbituric acid values decreased showing the improved oxidative stability and reduced free radical production. The sensory panelists were of the view that cookies containing 15 & 20% mango kernel lipid fraction are suitable for human consumption. In the nutshell, extraction of mango kernel lipid fraction and its utilization in baked products can results in saving millions of foreign exchange reserves for Pakistan thus contributing food security in edible oil sector.
