The valorization of bread waste into high-quality protein and biopolymers using the halophilic microorganism presents a sustainable approach to food waste management and resource optimization. This study successfully coproduced protein and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) biopolymer with a biomass content of 8.0 ± 0.1 g L and a productivity of 11.1 mg L h. The fermentation process employed 3.0% w/v of enzymatically hydrolyzed bread waste. The amino acid profile of the cell biomass revealed a total content of 358 g kg of biomass dry weight (DW), including 147 g kg DW of essential amino acids. The protein quality, assessed through enzyme digestion, indicated a high-quality protein with a digestibility value of 0.91 and a protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score (PDCAAS) of 0.78. The PHBV biopolymer component (36.0 ± 6.3% w/w) consisted of a copolymer of 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate in a 91:9 mol% ratio. This bioconversion process not only mitigates food waste but also generates valuable biomaterials.

Building up from our previous findings on deep eutectic solvents (DES) as reaction promoters for the acetylation of pure wheat starch, the current work explored combinations of reaction time, temperature and acetic anhydride: bread molar ratios to acetylate macromolecules within bread particles relying solely on macromolecule solvation and the slightly basic environment provided by the eutectic mixture. High degree of substitution with acyl groups (DS, 0.73-1.

Date processing industries generate substantial quantities of waste, including date seeds, which present disposal challenges and environmental concerns. Traditionally, date seed waste has been discarded through landfilling, open burning, or dumping, leading to soil, air, and water pollution. However, with increasing awareness of environmental sustainability and resource conservation, there is a growing interest in valorizing date seed waste using green extraction technologies and innovative food product development approaches for date seed valorization.
