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.

Stability of Film-Forming Dispersions: Affects the Morphology and Optical Properties of Polymeric Films.

Starch-based films are promising alternatives to synthetic films in food packaging. They were widely studied in terms of mechanical and optical properties. In food packaging, optical properties are of great interest because ultra violet (UV-light) protection is strictly required.

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.
