Microalgae have the potential to be a sustainable and promising alternative sources of nutrient-rich food supplement, amongst which <em>Nannochloropsis</em> is highlighted by its high concentration of nutrient rich metabolites. Most significantly, ∼30–40% of lipids synthesized by <em>Nannochloropsis</em> constitute polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), in which 20–30% of total fatty acids account for eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an essential omega-3 supplement required for human health. Nevertheless, the incorporation of whole biomass of <em>Nannochloropsis</em> into functional foods often imparts negative tastes and odor. Therefore, EPA could be extracted by utilizing green, sustainable methods, including microwave and ultrasound pretreatment, supercritical fluid extraction, green solvents, and purified through urea complexation. Moreover, the defatted residual biomass could be valorized to various co-products, namely biofuels, sugars, and proteins, within a zero-waste biorefinery model. Amongst the multitude of biorefinery routes available, processes starting with high value EPA extraction followed by synthesis of peptides from a protein-rich residual biomass appear to be most lucrative. Hence, the current review provides a holistic outlook on large-scale production of <em>Nannochloropsis</em>-derived EPA by assessing various extraction and purification methods, and functional food applications, while scrutinizing the viability of biorefining for an economically viable and sustainable commercialization.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12134,"journal":{"name":"Food and Bioproducts Processing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142358038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that all the films blocked visible (over 96 %) and ultraviolet light (99.9 %), which was mainly attributed to perseorangine, a compound generated by the action of polyphenol-oxidase. The films also exhibited good water vapor barrier properties. PExIND showed the highest mechanical strength (Young's modulus = 901.8 ± 33.4 MPa; tensile strength = 9.1 ± 1.0 MPa; elongation = 3.5 ± 0.5 %), correlating with the highest crystallinity index (14.9 %). The incorporation of extracts increased the content of phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity in PExBIO and PExIND compared to PC, with no significant differences between them. Moreover, the biodegradation test indicated that the films showed high biodegradability. Therefore, Hass avocado residues could be used to produce biodegradable antioxidant films, suitable for packaging light-sensitive and low-moisture products.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":12134,"journal":{"name":"Food and Bioproducts Processing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960308524001743/pdfft?md5=4c1cbe487428ca56dd8515b090f9a862&pid=1-s2.0-S0960308524001743-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142240041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several researchers have proposed different formulations, where the combination of plants has been tested at the laboratory and pilot scales to maximize the desirable features of the beverages, including antioxidant capacity, anticarcinogens, and anti-inflammatory properties. Developing these products requires scaling-up from these scales to the industry one and, hence, identifying the criteria and/or parameters affecting process yield due to the transport phenomena associated with the scale increment. This work proposes a framework for scaling up solid-liquid extraction in a nutraceutical beverage process using available pilot plant data, combining brute-force and empirical scaling approaches. This framework provides an alternative for industries that have acquired equipment without considering the principles of similarity between the larger scale and the laboratory stage. Operating conditions are tuned to reach the product quality at the pilot level and the maximum beverage's antioxidant capacity. A techno-economic analysis of the production process and an environmental evaluation were performed, providing the basis for an effective scaling-up to the industry level. The scaling-up proved to be feasible, as the net present value of the process is $2018,000 with a payback time of 4.83 years; the major source of solid waste is the raw materials with a carbon footprint less than 0.205 MT eCO₂ due this process operates with temperatures lower than 100 °C. The circular economy indicators in this project were circular material usage rate and Waste Stream Recycling Rate. The Circular Material Usage Rate ranged from 16.7 % to 66.7 % depending on the composition of the cocoa husk in the raw material, and the Waste Stream Recycling Rate (%) ranged from 4.4 % to 5 % destined for composting development. The framework is designed to be applicable to other food production processes that encounter equipment constraints.

Over 97 % of RLs with purity of 90.8 % were recovered after treatment at 120 °C for 10 min at a pH below 4. The involved mechanism might be related to that heat treatment at pH below 4 results in the degradation of certain components in broth that interfere with the RLs precipitation, thus no longer affecting the precipitation performance of RLs at acidic conditions. Moreover, the obtained RLs manifested well-maintained surface and emulsification activities. It can reduce the surface tension of water to approximately 29 mN/m at concentration of 65 mg/L, and the emulsification index was 72–80 % against varied types of oil.

Efficient energy use is critical, alongside the adoption of low-carbon technologies that help agriculture and food processing adapt to climate change. Carbon footprint (CF) analysis is a key tool for assessing the environmental impact of food production and distribution, requiring a thorough evaluation of each product's life cycle from production to consumption. This study focused on the sugar production CF in three Polish plants, examining technological processes and creating unit process diagrams of the production cycle. This analysis led to the development of a database to calculate the CF based on production volume. The determined CF was 0.14–0.27 kg CO_2eq/kg, and the average CF_av: for plant 1–0.18; for plant 2–0.19; for plant 3–0.19 kg CO_2eq/kg. Continuous monitoring is essential, allowing production practices to adapt to changing conditions and ensuring quick responses to sustainability needs. Reducing the sugar production CF involves several strategies, including adopting sustainable cultivation practices, optimizing production processes, using renewable energy sources, improving transportation efficiency, and minimizing waste.

To effectively address this challenge, and particularly to develop food waste valorisation approaches, it is necessary to acquire understanding of the physicochemical and biochemical characteristics of food waste. This study comprises a systematic overview and quantitative assessment of the characteristics of food waste biomass, and this was achieved through a comprehensive literature review. The resulting database encompasses the physicochemical, biochemical, and elemental composition of food waste. The study evaluates food waste variability, analyses correlations between components, and highlights patterns in composition. Overall, food waste is a rather variable material. Typology, collection source and geographical origin of food waste streams are the main contributing factors to variation in physicochemical, biochemical and elemental compositions of food waste, while collection season and storage temperature appear not to be contributing substantially to variation. A clear distinction between plant-based and animal-based food waste biomass can be observed with animal-matter enriched food waste having high contents of protein, lipid and ash, but a low starch content. On the other hand, plant-based food waste can be either high in lignin and low in starch or high in carbohydrates, starch and higher heating value. Fibre content appears an indicative parameter, distinguishing plant from animal enriched food waste, and correlating strongly with lignin-rich, starch-poor plant biomass. The heterogeneity of food waste biomass composition will create challenges in developing and scaling up appropriate food waste management.
