Abstract

This review critically examines the Beta vulgaris L. juice (designated as raw beet juice, or rBJ) applications as a sustainable substrate for microbial bioprocesses, enabling the production of bioethanol, lactic acid, limonene, linalool, ethylene and other value-added metabolites. Its role in bioremediation is also explored, emphasizing its phytochemical-mediated chelation capacity for the remediation of heavy metal contamination and environmental pollutants. In addition, the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical significance of beet juice is highlighted through its antioxidative, antihypertensive, and anti-inflammatory properties, positioning it as a cornerstone for functional food innovations and therapeutic applications. The vivid betalain pigments extracted using advanced enzyme-assisted and membrane-based techniques further present a sustainable alternative to synthetic dyes in food technology, cosmetics, and biomedical applications. This review also underscores the integration of rBJ into circular economy frameworks, where agricultural residues are repurposed to produce bio-based materials, promoting waste valorization and environmental sustainability. Despite its promising potential, a more detailed exploration of compositional diversity, conversion efficiency, and bioactive compound stability is warranted to fully elucidate rBJ’s functional and industrial applications. However, challenges like scalability, economic feasibility, and the bioactive components stability in complex formulations persist.

生甜菜汁的创新生物技术应用，可持续生物产业

这篇综述严格审查了甜菜汁（被称为生甜菜汁，或rBJ）作为微生物生物过程的可持续底物的应用，使生物乙醇、乳酸、柠檬烯、芳樟醇、乙烯和其他增值代谢物的生产成为可能。探讨了其在生物修复中的作用，强调了其在重金属污染和环境污染物修复中的植物化学介导的螯合能力。此外，甜菜汁的营养和制药意义通过其抗氧化、降压和抗炎特性得到强调，将其定位为功能食品创新和治疗应用的基石。利用先进的酶辅助和膜基技术提取的生动甜菜素色素进一步在食品技术，化妆品和生物医学应用中提供了合成染料的可持续替代品。本综述还强调了将rBJ纳入循环经济框架，其中农业残留物被重新利用以生产生物基材料，促进废物增值和环境可持续性。尽管rBJ具有广阔的应用前景，但需要对其成分多样性、转化效率和生物活性化合物稳定性进行更详细的探索，以充分阐明其功能和工业应用。然而，在复杂配方中，诸如可扩展性、经济可行性和生物活性成分稳定性等挑战仍然存在。

期刊介绍： Industrial Crops and Products is an International Journal publishing academic and industrial research on industrial (defined as non-food/non-feed) crops and products. Papers concern both crop-oriented and bio-based materials from crops-oriented research, and should be of interest to an international audience, hypothesis driven, and where comparisons are made statistics performed.
