“…While several food waste (FW) conversion technologies have been established at the laboratory scale, there are still obstacles and constraints to overcome before these technologies can be sustainably implemented at the commercial level (Sarker et al, 2024a;Grossi, Lange, and Amaral, 2024). Future research must address these concerns.…”

“…For the successful industrial implementation of FW conversion, some of the challenges to be addressed include the low efficiency of the extraction processes, the poor stability of natural bioactive compounds compared to their synthetic analogs, and difficulties in managing the residual streams that may have adverse impacts on the environment or human health if not properly treated or utilized. Therefore, it is not yet possible to conclude that FW-related problems may be successfully resolved by using these technologies alone (S. AlQahtani et al, 2024;Sarker et al, 2024a). Applications of bioactive compounds in food.…”

“…Future difficulties will mostly consist of increasing extraction operation efficiency and creating new, ecologically friendly techniques (Sarker et al, 2024a;Goria et al, 2024). Further investigation will also be necessary to ascertain the safety and bioavailability of the extracted components as well as to find new uses for these products.…”

“…It was projected that traditional and unplanned FW management would result in the depletion of critical resources, such as nutrients and bioactive substances, as well as negative environmental effects. To comply with international regulatory frameworks for food security, integrated and developing home and FW management has been supported (Sarker et al, 2024a).…”

The issue of household waste management is a pervasive global concern. Household waste, especially food waste, comprises a reservoir of compounds with potential economic value, among which bioactive compounds prominently feature. These bioactive compounds, derived from natural chemical substances inherent in waste from animal and protein sources, offer nutritional benefits. Extracted bioactive compounds find versatile applications in various domains including textiles, cosmetics, nutraceuticals, food additives, and the agriculture sector. The extraction of such compounds is achieved through a diversity of techniques, including conventional methods alongside non-conventional green approaches such as extraction methods using enzymes, microwaves, or supercritical fluids. However, there is an increasing need for green and sustainable approaches, leading to bioactive-rich extracts with low environmental impact. This review thoroughly summarizes the origins, kinds, and characteristics of bioactive chemicals found in food waste. It also addresses the most promising and innovative methodologies for the recovery of functional bioactive compounds from waste materials that have been published recently. New technologies can meaningfully manage materials from household food waste. These bioactive compounds are valuable for food industrial applications.

“…Still, the exorbitant manufacturing costs and limited economic viability render it unfeasible for widespread implementation. Utilizing natural substances derived from renewable resources, such as agro-industrial waste that are often underutilized and lack economic value, has shown great potential for the advancement of biosorbents [ 15 , 16 ].…”

Due to the growing concerns about pharmaceutical contamination and its devastating impact on the economy and the health of humans and the environment, developing efficient approaches for removing such contaminants has become essential. Adsorption is a cost-effective technique for removing pollutants. Thus, in this work, banana peels as agro-industrial waste were utilized for synthesizing activated carbon for removing pharmaceuticals, namely amoxicillin and carbamazepine from different water matrices. The chemically activated carbon by phosphoric acid (H3PO4) was carbonized at temperatures 350 °C, 450 °C and 550 °C. The material was characterized by several techniques such as scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Boehm titration, point of zero charge (pHPZC), BET surface area (SBET), the proximate and ultimate analyses, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and thermos-gravimetric analysis (TGA). The SEM of banana peel activated carbon (BPAC) depicted a semi-regular and heterogeneous morphology, characterized by an abundance of pores with diverse forms and sizes. Boehm titration revealed an increase in the amounts of acidic groups by 0.711 mmol/g due to activation by H3PO4. FTIR recorded different peaks suggesting significant modifications in the spectroscopic characteristics of the BPAC surface due to the successful activation and adsorption of the pollutant molecules. The pHpzc of BPAC was calculated to be 5.005. The SBET surface area dramatically increased to 911.59 m2/g after the activation. The optimum conditions were 25 °C, a materials dosage of 1.2 g/L, a saturation time of 120 min, a pollutants mixture of 25 mg/L, and a pH of 5. Langmuir exhibits a slightly better fit than Freundlich with a low value of the residual sum of squares (SSE) and the data were better fitted to the pseudo-second-order kinetic. Furthermore, the efficacy of BPAC in eliminating pharmaceuticals from Milli Q water, lake water, and wastewater was successfully investigated over the seven cycles. The results of the present work highlighted a potential usage of agro-industrial waste in eliminating organic micropollutants while exhibiting sustainable management of this waste.
