Abstract
Several plant residues can be generated during the stages of industrial processing, such as fruit peel, seeds and bagasse, and these can give rise to high-value products. The management and use of this waste is of global interest. The aim of this study was to evaluate the spatio-temporal evolution of scientific knowledge on the reuse of agroindustrial waste generated in Brazil through a scientometric analysis. To this end, a search was performed in the databases Scopus, Scielo, and Web of Science between the years 1991and 2021. The words used as indexers were agribusiness waste, vegetable waste, fruit waste, biomass waste, plant residue, and chemical characterization. The following selection criteria were adopted: search of indexers by title, scientific articles, articles in English and Portuguese, and articles on plant waste generated in Brazil. There was an increase in publications over the years, with a greater number of studies (21.46%) in the chemistry area, addressing mainly the physical-chemical characterization of materials. In Brazil, sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) was the most studied species with a view to reusing its residues. We identified species from highly threatened Brazilian biomes, such as the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado, with the potential for transformation into new materials. The gaps in knowledge, evidenced in this analysis, suggest that more studies should be carried out on residues of native plant species which impact local communities. In particular, studies could focus on applicability in health and cosmetics, which are promising areas for plant materials and still little investigated.
在工业加工的各个阶段可能会产生几种植物残留物,如果皮、种子和甘蔗渣,这些可以产生高价值的产品。这种废物的管理和利用是全球关注的问题。本研究的目的是通过科学计量分析来评估巴西农业工业废弃物再利用科学知识的时空演变。为此,在1991年至2021年期间在Scopus、Scielo和Web of Science数据库中进行了检索。用作指标的词有农业废弃物、蔬菜废弃物、水果废弃物、生物质废弃物、植物残渣和化学表征。采用以下选择标准:按标题搜索索引,科学文章,英文和葡萄牙文文章,以及巴西产生的植物废物的文章。近年来,这方面的出版物有所增加,化学领域的研究数量更多(21.46%),主要涉及材料的物理化学特性。在巴西,甘蔗(Saccharum officinarum L.)是研究最多的物种,以期对其残留物进行再利用。我们从大西洋森林和塞拉多等受到高度威胁的巴西生物群落中发现了具有转化为新材料潜力的物种。这一分析证明了知识上的差距,这表明应该对影响当地社区的本地植物物种的残留物进行更多的研究。特别是,研究可以集中在保健和化妆品方面的适用性,这是植物材料的有前途的领域,但研究很少。
