Bioconversion of Crop Residues Using Alternative Fermentation-Based Approaches.

Globally, the growing production of food commodities generates significant quantities of agroindustrial residues, most of which are untreated and disposed of as waste through either burning, dumping into the land, or unplanned landfilling, thereby causing environmental pollution, public health problems, and decreased soil organic matter and soil productivity. A literature review has been conducted on the current crop residue biomass valorization, analyzing raw material properties and the potential risks associated with its incorrect or absent management, as well as the major microbial fermentation strategies that are used for converting residual crops into valuable products. Approximately 2445.

Consumer Awareness and Acceptance of Biotechnological Solutions for Gluten-Free Products.

Celiac disease is an immune-mediated disorder caused by the ingestion of gluten proteins. The gluten-free diet is currently the only therapy to achieve the symptoms' remission. Biotechnological approaches are currently being explored to obtain safer and healthier food for celiacs.

Tenebrio molitor as a source of interesting natural compounds, their recovery processes, biological effects, and safety aspects.

Nowadays, it is urgent to produce in larger quantities and more sustainably to reduce the gap between food supply and demand. In a circular bioeconomy vision, insects receive great attention as a sustainable alternative to satisfy food and nutritional needs. Among all insects, Tenebrio molitor (TM) is the first insect approved by the European Food Safety Authority as a novel food in specific conditions and uses, testifying its growing relevance and potential.

Tenebrio molitor in the circular economy: a novel approach for plastic valorisation and PHA biological recovery.

The increase in the world population leads to rising demand and consumption of plastic raw materials; only a small percentage of plastics is recovered and recycled, increasing the quantity of waste released into the environment and losing its economic value. The plastics represent a great opportunity in the circular perspective of their reuse and recycling. Research is moving, on the one hand, to implement sustainable systems for plastic waste management and on the other to find new non-fossil-based plastics such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs).

Varietal and Geographical Origin Characterization of Peaches and Nectarines by Combining Analytical Techniques and Statistical Approach.

L. is one of the most important fruit crops in European production, after grapes, apples, oranges and watermelons. Most varieties are rich in secondary metabolites, showing antioxidant properties for human health.

Chemical Profile and Antioxidant Properties of Extracts and Essential Oils from Citrus × limon (L.) Burm. cv. Femminello Comune.

Citrus × limon cv. Femminello Comune (Rutaceae) from Rocca Imperiale (Italy), one of the six Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) Italian lemon crops, has been recently received renewed interest. In this work, fresh and dried peels and leaves were extracted by hydrodistillation, supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), and Soxhlet apparatus.
