“…(HOC EoS) were applied, which describe the liquid and vapor phases and are able to calculate the activity and fugacity coefficients (Cardona et al 2018). Moreover, the OTP composition (cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin) were introduced into the simulation software manually based on the thermodynamic properties reported by NREL in Daza-Serna et al (2016). After calculation of the mass balances of the overall process, the energy requirements of the BOP were calculated in terms of heating and cooling conditions and steam pressures being low, medium and high, i.e.…”

Techno-economic feasibility of bioethanol production via biorefinery of olive tree prunings (OTP): optimization of the pretreatment stage

et al. 2018

The aim of this work was to evaluate the economic feasibility of the bioethanol production (BEP) based on olive tree pruning (OTP) as a biomass feedstock with optimization of the dilute acid pretreatment in focus. For this, the BEP was simulated taking into account the influence of the operating conditions of the pretreatment stage. Then, the techno-economic results were analyzed by means of the response surface methodology (RSM). The results show that lowest price of BE was 1.94 USD l−1 with a yield of 174.12 l t−1 OTP under optimal conditions. As a conclusion, the raw material cost has a strong influence in the economic feasibility of the BEP from OTP. The inclusion of other processing lines into the process would improve the process economy.

“…Fruit by-products have been recognized for their relevant nutritional composition and biological activities with potential beneficial effects on human health. Nowadays, the CE has recognized the valorisation of fruit by-products as important for the recovery of BCs from food by-products, as well as the management of environmental impact prevention [43]. Fine chemistry coupled with the CE approach can maintain the same value of consumer products, as well as add value to by-products, retaining them within the industrial chain, aiming at the reduction of the generated waste.…”

Management of Fruit Industrial By-Products—A Case Study on Circular Economy Approach

et al. 2020

The management of industrial fruit by-products is important not only to decrease the volume of food waste accumulated in the landfills but also to develop strategies through reuse with the purpose to valorise and add economic value. The disposal of food waste leads to different global issues in different sectors, such as social, environmental and economical. These by-products represent a rich source of valuable compounds (polyphenols) with high antioxidant activity, which can be extracted through biotechnological methodologies for future industrial applications. In this context, the management of fruit by-products is challenged to move from a linear economy to a circular economy. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to provide a critical view of an integrated valorisation of fruit by-products to overcome a global issue, via the production of antioxidant extracts with high economic value. A case study of pineapple processing industrialization in a circular economy is explored and discussed.

“…Banana rachis and pseudostem residues can be used as biomass feedstocks, both biomasses have a high content of carbohydrates such as hemicellulose, starch [ 23 ], and lignin [ 19 ]. Banana stem residues also contain lignins, glucans, and most abundantly xylans and ashes [ 27 ].…”

On a worldwide scale, food demand is increasing as a consequence of global population growth. This makes companies push their food supply chains’ limits with a consequent increase in generation of large amounts of untreated waste that are considered of no value to them. Biorefinery technologies offer a suitable alternative for obtaining high-value products by using unconventional raw materials, such as agro-industrial waste. Currently, most biorefineries aim to take advantage of specific residues (by either chemical, biotechnological, or physical treatments) provided by agro-industry in order to develop high-value products for either in-house use or for sale purposes. This article reviews the currently explored possibilities to apply biorefinery-known processes to banana agro-industrial waste in order to generate high-value products out of this residual biomass source. Firstly, the Central and Latin American context regarding biomass and banana residues is presented, followed by advantages of using banana residues as raw materials for the production of distinct biofuels, nanocellulose fibers, different bioplastics, and other high-value products Lastly, additional uses of banana biomass residues are presented, including energy generation and water treatment.
