“…Pulverized biomass could result in very short residence times in the combustion zone, resulting an incomplete burning, but flue gas recirculation can improve the conversion efficiency. In Figure 2A, the peak at approximately 376 C (nitrogen) is related to the lignocellulosic material and is typical to values found in wood analysis, and has a comparable shape of other lignocellulosic material curves, for example, the ones obtained by Heikkinen et al 54 for waste components and waste mixtures, by Hu et al 55 for bamboo residues, and by Alves et al 56 for jackfruit wastes. Under synthetic air atmosphere the ignition temperature was about 200 C and the maximum burning rate 0.87 mg min −1 at 352 C. The highest peak shows the volatile matter release and burn followed by the burn of fixed carbon at higher temperatures.…”

Flotation sludge from the meat processing industry can be applied as biofuel in already existing plant-scale boilers. This biosolid is rich in oil and grease and has higher energetic content on a dry ash-free basis (22.74 and 27.71 MJ kg −1 ) than the wood-based fuel (16.62 and 16.16 MJ kg −1 ). Co-combustion trials were performed at a pilot-scale cyclonic combustor (100 kg h −1 ) and at an industrial flamotubular rotatory grate-fired system (6000 kg h −1 ), co-firing pre-dried and centrifuged flotation sludges (respectively) and wood at a mass ratio of 1:3. At a moisture content of 60.13 wt%, the lower heating value of the centrifuged sludge was 10.24% lower compared to wood, thus reducing it to at least 40 wt% would be advisable to obtain energy gains in the industrial plant when operating the co-combustion. The emissions were evaluated and compared to emission standards, including the characterization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (given as Toxicity Equivalent Factors at O 2ref = 7%), which have not yet been reported. The 16 target polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were identified at pilot and plant scales (0.582 ± 0.143 μg Nm −3 and 0.602 ± 0.506 μg Nm −3 , respectively) being lower than the Danish reference standard (5.0 μg Nm −3 ). The polychlorinated dibenzop-dioxins and polychlorinated dibenzofurans concentrations were 0.0004 ± 0.0001 ng Nm −3 at pilot scale and 0.3617 ± 0.1310 ng Nm −3 at plant scale, both below the Brazilian and American standards but differed greatly between the scales, requiring further investigation since their formation can occur due to combustion and postcombustion conditions.

“…Hasan et al [35] reported that the average annual net returns found more than the agriculture system. Alves et al [36] observed that the fruit contains lignins, flavones and saponins which have the properties of anti-cancer, anti-ulcer, anti-hypertensive and anti-aging. It contains immense medicinal values and also considered a rich source of carbohydrates, minerals, carboxylic acids, dietary fiber and vitamins such as ascorbic acid and thiamine [13].…”

The Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus L.) is well-known as “poor man’s food” fruit in Bangladesh. It is widely consumed by most of the rural people and it is the national fruit of Bangladesh. The main aim of this review is to document the medicinal significance of jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus L.), major parts and uses of the jackfruit in Bangladesh. This article was based on mostly a literature review. All parts of the fruit and plant are used as human food, animal feed and wood source for furniture. Although jackfruit is the main fruit of the tree, it is used as furniture for its beautiful texture and wood color. Jackfruit contains anti-bacterial, anti-diabetic, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-helminthic properties. The fruit is rich in carbohydrates, minerals, carboxylic acids, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals. The seed is rich in manganese, magnesium, potassium, calcium iron and lectins and thus meets up nutritional requirements for the rural people. The present study attempted to review the medicinal importance, health-promoting effects of jackfruit and seeds with special emphasis on their applications in the food.

“…Biomass is one of the most viable sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels, with the added benefit of not leading to a net rise in CO 2 levels in the atmosphere [128]. According to Alves et al [129], it is critical to allow for the partial replacement of fossil-based fuels in the future by increasing the use of biomass-based energy. They further note that renewable energy sources with a high capacity for bioenergy generation can help reduce emission levels, which is essential to sustainable development.…”

“…Jackfruit waste, which includes peels and seeds, generates about 2.96 million tons of potential feedstocks per year [129]. Physicochemical properties, bioenergy markers, combustion behaviours, and emission characteristics were all used by Alves et al [129] to evaluate the suitability of peels and seeds as combustion feedstocks and their potential for bioenergy.…”

Background: Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam) is widely cultivated in tropical and sub-tropical areas worldwide. The tree is highly productive, resilient, and requires minimal care. Jackfruit has a characteristic flavour and is highly versatile. Several studies report the importance of the tree and fruits, ranging from food and medicine to the provision of several value-added products. In spite of the many beneﬁts the plant offers, it has not been sufficiently incorporated in the general food system, partly because of gaps in processing, distribution and knowledge about utilization methods and nutritional and nutraceutical value. Objective: A comprehensive literature search was done to highlight jackfruit's nutritional, health, and commercial benefits to promote its utilization. Methodology: The literature search was conducted using three electronic databases with no constraints on publication year. Over 200 studies on the nutritional properties of jackfruit and at least 105 articles on the use of the various parts of the jack tree for their anticarcinogenic, antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and hypoglycemic effects were found. Findings: Jackfruit has vital nutrients, including phytochemicals, minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates, and proteins. The literature on utilization shows that the fruit can be processed into commercial products using minimal processing technologies, dried to extend product shelf-life, or processed into various value-added products. Conclusions: Jackfruit production and value addition are relatively under-developed despite the fruit tree’s high yield potential, high nutritional value, nutraceutical and techno-functional properties. For improved benefits from jackfruit, actors need to adopt the available technologies at different value chain nodes.
