“…The avocado seed starch showed a higher gelatinization temperature range (62–75 °C) than other starches, suggesting a higher degree of association between molecular components. The avocado seed starches also showed a lower consistency (200 Brabender units (BU)) and setback (198 BU) values compared to the maize starch (286 BU and 301 BU, respectively), suggesting its higher stability in heating and cooling processes, as well in mechanical processes, similar to sweet potato starches …”

Fruits are widely consumed and play a crucial role in diet. Furthermore, changes in dietary habits and growing world population have promoted the increase in demand of this product, which consequently increase their wastes. Besides, the fruit processing, including juice processing, pulp extraction, jams, and frozen pulp, also generates significant amounts of waste. Wastes include skin, pulp, seed waste, and pomace, which are rich in value‐added compounds like starch. The search for new starch sources has been motivated by three main reasons: growing market demand; industry demand for new starches with different physicochemical, structural, and functional properties than conventional starch sources; and food supply to meet the increase of world population. The principal conventional sources of starch are cereal and tubers. However, fruit wastes can contain significant amounts of starch that can be better explored. Fruit waste starches have unique features and can expand the possible range of starch uses in industry. This review explores fruit wastes, including kiwifruit, pineapple, mango, litchi, tamarind, longan, loquat, annatto, jackfruit, avocado, apple, and banana as new sources of starch, and also discusses their extraction methods, properties, and potential uses.

“…In fact, avocado seed waste contributes to environmental pollution in the form of methane emission, leachate, and atmospheric pollution by incineration (Asim et al, 2014). However, avocado seeds do contain components that could be advantageously used, such as, polyphenols (Wang et al, 2010), which possess antioxidant activity, and starch, which constitutes up to 60% of the dry weight of an avocado seed (Kahn, 1987;Chel-Guerrero et al, 2016). Therefore, avocado seeds represent a large carbohydrate reservoir, and thus a valuable carbon source for microbial growth.…”

Avocado (Persea americana Mill) seeds, a rich source of starch and micronutrients, are a major waste product from the agroindustrial processing of avocados. Here we designed and developed an experimental culture medium (ECM) from hydrolysed avocado seeds, supplemented with M9 salts (10% v/v). Breaking of starch granules of avocado seeds due to hydrolysis treatments was analysed by morphology and morphometry of granules. We evaluated the ECM functionality by measuring the growth of Escherichia coli as affected by (i) the carbon source (reducing sugars concentration), (ii) the nitrogen source, and (iii) mixing and aeration in a stirred tank bioreactor. ECM containing 13.33 and 20 g/L of reducing sugars reached a biomass production of 1.75 and 2.22 gDCW/L, respectively. The biomass yield from ECM was at least 2.5-fold higher than that obtained using Luria-Bertani Broth (LB) medium (0.23 vs 0.09). In addition, the growth rate increased with the agitation velocity (0.44 h -1 at 200 rpm; 0.36 h -1 at 150 rpm). Our findings suggest that avocado seeds represent a cost-effective material for producing a sustainable culture medium for bacterial growth of E. coli and other strains of interest in biotechnological processes.
