“…Whey, a byproduct of the dairy industry, the world production of which amounts to 121 million tons [124], was also used as the basis for the development of a chitosan production medium. In particular, R. oryzae MTCC262 cultures, grown on deproteinized whey (DW) and added with 0.3% YE and 0.1 mg L −1 of gibberellic acid (GA3), provided CVP and r P values equal to 1.13 g L −1 and 15.72 mg L −1 h −1 [77].…”

Conventionally, the commercial supply of chitin and chitosan relies on shellfish wastes as the extraction sources. However, the fungal sources constitute a valuable option, especially for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications, due to the batch-to-batch unsteady properties of chitin and chitosan from conventional ones. Fungal production of these glycans is not affected by seasonality enables accurate process control and, consequently, more uniform properties of the obtained product. Moreover, liquid and solid production media often are derived from wastes, thus enabling the application of circular economy criteria and improving the process economics. The present review deals with fungal chitosan production processes focusing on waste-oriented and integrated production processes. In doing so, contrary to other reviews that used a genus-specific approach for organizing the available information, the present one bases the discussion on the bioprocess typology. Finally, the main process parameters affecting chitosan production and their interactions are critically discussed.

“…Inevitably, the processes performed in food industries generate huge amounts of agro-industrial waste. For Italy, Petruccioli et al (2011) reported productions of 2.4 Mt/y of grape pomace, 0.7 Mt/y of olive pomace and 0.2 Mt/y of both tomato pomace and soybean integuments. It can be estimated that the transformation of 1 t of agricultural raw materials generates from 30 to 100 kg of organic waste.…”

“…Regarding the potential development of agro-industrial residue, waste, by-product, or wastewater valorization processes, it is important to systematically evaluate the production process and characteristics of agro-industrial wastes/residues/by-products, choose one or more goals (e.g., recycling/recovering components), examine the economic and technology benefits, choose the potential market, and identify the bioprocess solution to accomplish the desired aim [ 6 ]. Food industries generate a large amount of agri-food waste at the level of agricultural crops, as well as during processing, with around 1.6 billion tons of primary product equivalents, and the total food waste for the edible part of this amounts to 1.3 billion tons.…”

The importance and interest in the efficient use and valorization of agro-industrial residues and by-products have grown due to environmental problems associated with improper disposal. Biotechnological production processes, including microbial biosurfactant production, represent a sustainable way to utilize agro-industrial residues and by-products, which are applied as substrates in these processes. Biosurfactants produced by microorganisms using renewable resources are a viable alternative to traditional petrochemical surfactants and have several potential uses in a wide range of industrial sectors due to their minimal ecotoxicity, easy biodegradability, and moderate production conditions. The common applications of biosurfactants, besides in food industry as food additives and preservatives, are in agriculture, environmental protection, the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry, wastewater treatment, the petroleum industry, etc. This review aims to summarize the comprehensive scientific research related to the use of various agro-industrial residues and by-products in the microbial production of biosurfactants, as well as to emphasize the present state and the importance of their sustainable production. Additionally, based on the available biosurfactant market analysis datasets and research studies, the current situation in science and industry and the future perspectives of microbial biosurfactant production have been discussed.
