Tropical crops are an important source of wealth in many countries. The current agribusiness model is based on the production of a final commodity, leading to the production of organic by-products (biowastes) that in many cases contain bioactive compounds with a potential added value. The exploitation of these by-products is the foundation of the circular economy that leads to the generation of greener bioprocesses for the industry with foreseeable economic improvements in production systems. This review aims to point out the idle opportunities of agricultural production systems and their associated biowastes to contribute to the establishment of a bioeconomy. Hence, the focus lies on five tropical extensive crops: coffee, oil palm, sugar cane, banana, and pineapple. This first part of the review explores agricultural wastes originated from the coffee and oil palm industrial process and is oriented on the potential use of these by-products as a starting material for the alternative obtention of chemicals, otherwise obtained from petrochemistry. The second part of the review focuses on prospective use of lignocellulosic rich biowaste that is derived from the industrialization of sugar cane, banana, and pineapple. A fundamental difference for the use of coffee biomass compared to other crops is the presence of numerous bioactive compounds that are not yet properly utilized, such as antioxidants (i.e., caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid), as well as their possible use in the manufacture of products of interest in the cosmetic (i.e., quinic acid) or pharmaceutical industry (i.e., caffeic acid phenethyl ester). In the case of oil palm, its potential lies in obtaining chemicals such as glycerol and carotenoids, or in the bioenergy production.

“…In other words, the digital world should provide transparency of data with adequate security. The cloud services face many threats so that personnel with adequate knowledge of how to deal with this threat is necessary to use these services [64,65]. Other challenges for the Industry 4.0 are considered to be lack of trained employees, lack of competencies, lack of financial resources, lack of standards and processes and resistance from the employees [66].…”

The current advances and innovations in sensor technologies attributed to Industry 4.0 serve as the backbone for the inclusive growth of industry and ramping up the economy of any country. Industry 4.0 was basically conceptualized by introducing the Internet of Things (IoT) and Information and Communication technologies (ICT) that serve as an interface between digital and physical world through the fusion of smart sensors. The role of smart sensors and IoT-enabled industrial infrastructure is pivotal for adapting to the advanced technologies based on fusion of smart sensors. Digital meteorological traceability and uses of intelligent sensors, instrumentation and machinery in Industry 4.0, Smart Cities, Digital India and AtmaNirbhar Bharat missions of the government of India, are not only highly important but also in huge demand, which is going to increase manifolds in the years to come. The present paper is an attempt to provide a terse review and perspectives related to the advanced technological developments in this field and the challenges therein.

“…This practice can prevent the exposure of palm oil to the metal ions such as Fe 3+ that originated from the equipment and vehicles that could catalyze the reaction of 3-MCPD formation. Some significant changes to the current practices through the implementation of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) may improve the plantation management [136].…”

Process-based contaminants in food—particularly in vegetable oils—have been a topic of interest due to their potential health risk on humans. Oral consumption above the tolerable daily intake might result in health risks. Therefore, it is critical to correctly address the food contaminant issues with a proper mitigation plan, in order to reduce and subsequently remove the occurrence of the contaminant. 3-monochloropropane-1,3-diol (3-MCPD), an organic chemical compound, is one of the heat- and process-induced food contaminants, belonging to a group called chloropropanols. This review paper discusses the occurrence of the 3-MCPD food contaminant in different types of vegetable oils, possible 3-MCPD formation routes, and also methods of reduction or removal of 3-MCPD in its free and bound esterified forms in vegetable oils, mostly in palm oil due to its highest 3-MCPD content.
