Using a PRISMA-guided workflow, this review systematically synthesized Scopus-indexed primary studies published from 2005 to 2025, with 209 studies retained from 265 initial records. This review integrates feedstock composition and morphology with environmental implications, route-specific performance, process–performance trade-offs, and evidence limitations across four principal valorization pathways: residual starch recovery, renewable energy conversion, bioadsorbent production, and animal-feed utilization. Reported compositions confirm that sago hampas is a variable starch-in-fibre material, containing 36.5–68.9% starch, 11.78–58.7% cellulose, 2.6–20.0% hemicellulose, 2.4–12.5% lignin, and 2.35–11.50% ash. This variability, together with moisture content, prior extraction severity, product quality requirements, and process inputs, should be considered in route selection. The reviewed studies demonstrated route-specific technical potential. However, direct comparisons are constrained by differences in feedstock bases, performance metrics, experimental scales, and system boundaries; therefore, the available evidence does not support a universal ranking of these four pathways. Residual starch recovery is identified as a testable first stage option for starch-rich materials, provided that the downstream fiber quality and overall resource efficiency are preserved. Future research should prioritize harmonized feedstock characterization, matched feedstock route comparisons, mass and carbon balances, product quality assessment, and integrated techno-economic and life cycle evaluations. These priorities provide an evidence-based framework for evaluating staged valorization without assuming that cascade processing is inherently preferable.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":488,"journal":{"name":"Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery","volume":"16 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149367398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These residues are characterized by high moisture content, rapid biodegradability, and the presence of inhibitory compounds such as limonene, posing environmental and waste management challenges under conventional disposal practices. In recent years, citrus waste has gained attention as a lignocellulosic feedstock for bioenergy production and value-added applications within the framework of a circular bioeconomy. This review provides a decision-oriented comparative assessment of major citrus waste valorization pathways, with an emphasis on bioenergy technologies, including anaerobic digestion for biogas, fermentation for bioethanol, and thermochemical and biochemical routes for biohydrogen production. In addition, integrated utilization strategies, such as biochar and compost production, bio-adsorbents, animal feed, enzyme production, and other bioproducts, are assessed within a biorefinery context to enhance resource efficiency. The pathways are evaluated using common criteria, including conversion efficiency or product yield, pretreatment and process severity, sensitivity to inhibitory compounds such as limonene, energy and resource requirements, technology readiness level, environmental implications, and scalability. Particular emphasis is placed on identifying pathway-specific trade-offs and determining how cascading and integrated biorefinery configurations can improve the overall resource efficiency and economic viability. These findings underscore the potential of citrus residues as renewable resources for integrated bioenergy and bioproduct generation in circular bioeconomy systems.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":488,"journal":{"name":"Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery","volume":"16 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2026-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149338532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study systematically investigated the novel relationship between the severity factor and the surface properties of hydrochars produced from lignocellulosic biomass, specifically water contact angle, surface porosity, and zeta potential. Hydrochars were generated at 180 °C, 200 °C, and 240 °C for 6, 13, and 24 h, with biomass-to-water ratios of 0.16 (1:6) and 0.1 (1:10, w/v).

Notably, contact angle trends showed strong severity factor dependence (R<sup>2</sup> > 0.75, <i>p</i> < 0.05), with pronounced sensitivity to mixing ratio at 240 °C, whereas surface area and zeta potential exhibited no clear severity factor trends. Importantly, hydrochars with high hydrophobicity, large surface area, and strong electrostatic repulsion can be obtained at medium SF values (0.3–0.4), corresponding to either low-temperature–long-time or high-temperature–short-time conditions.
