“…As revealed from the analysis of scientific literature, insect chitin and chitosan exhibit functional characteristics, like low toxicity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, and multiple biological effects, such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antitumoral effects (Table 18), that make them particularly suitable for applications in numerous fields: from the chemical and agrochemical industry to the medical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry, from the food industry and nutrition to textile and paper industry, etc. (Figure 8) (Kaczmarek et al, 2019;Li et al, 2019;El Knidri et al, 2019).…”

“…Chitin, or poly‐ N ‐acetylglucosamine, is an insoluble aminopolysaccharide, a naturally abundant mucopolysaccharide, and the second most abundant natural biomass after cellulose, with an estimated annual production of approximately 10 10 −10 12 tons (Li et al., 2019; Zainol Abidin et al., 2020). This chemically inert macromolecule (C 8 H 13 O 5 ) n , similar to cellulose (Akakuru et al., 2018), consists mainly of repeating N ‐acetyl‐ d ‐glucosamine units linked by β‐(1,4)‐glycosidic bonds (GlcNAc, 2‐acetamido‐2‐deoxy‐ d ‐glucopyranose).…”

“…The most decisive factors affecting the biological activities of chitin and chitosan are molecular weight (MW) and deacetylation degree (DD) (He et al., 2016; Li et al., 2019; Morin‐Crini et al., 2019). MW determines the solubility and viscosity of these polymers.…”

Nowadays, it is urgent to produce in larger quantities and more sustainably to reduce the gap between food supply and demand. In a circular bioeconomy vision, insects receive great attention as a sustainable alternative to satisfy food and nutritional needs. Among all insects, Tenebrio molitor (TM) is the first insect approved by the European Food Safety Authority as a novel food in specific conditions and uses, testifying its growing relevance and potential. This review holistically presents the possible role of TM in the sustainable and circular solution to the growing needs for food and nutrients. We analyze all high value‐added products obtained from TM (powders and extracts, oils and fatty acids, proteins and peptides, and chitin and chitosan), their recovery processes (evaluating the best ones in technical and environmental terms), their nutritional and economical values, and their biological effects. Safety aspects are also mentioned. TM potential is undoubted, but some aspects still need to be discussed, including the health effects of substances and microorganisms in its body, the optimal production conditions (that affect product quality and safety), and TM capacity to convert by‐products into new products. Environmental, economic, social, and market feasibility studies are also required to analyze the new value chains. Finally, to unlock the enormous potential of edible insects as a source of nutritious and sustainable food, it will be necessary to overcome the cultural, psychological, and regulatory barriers still present in Western countries.

“…The final waste from the industrial process is discharged into the waters and rivers after passing through wastewater management. Some industries do not have standard waste disposal; hence they cause water pollution in river areas (Karimifard & Alavi Moghaddam, 2018;Li et al, 2019). The problem of waste must be overcome in order to be corresponding to the environmental sustainability issue, particularly in wastewater treatment, in which only hygienic material can be released into the environment.…”

The rapid growth of the industry is giving positive effects for humans by providing daily needs and supporting economic development. However, the industrial process also releases pollution to the environment, which can cause water scarcity, biodiversity loss, and climate change. Removing these pollutants from various industrial wastes is a requirement for ensuring proper water quality for human consumption, agricultural use, and environmental safety. This work aims to explain the use of natural resources as a source of valuable compounds that can be used in wastewater treatment, particularly in Indonesia, by adopting a literature study method reviewing both national and international references. Chitosan is an effective bio-absorbent pollutant because of its high level of deacetylation and free amino groups, making it polycationic which is capable of being bound to metals, proteins, and dyes. Chitosan membranes can be applied only with chitosan material and composites: chitosan-Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), chitosan-Poly Vinyl Alcohol, chitosan-biosilica, chitosan-PVA-silica, chitosan-alginate, chitosan-cellulose, and chitosan-silica. Chitosan has the ability as a coagulant and reducing water turbidity. Chitosan can absorb metal ion (Cr (VI), Cs+, Pb(II), Fe, Cu(II)), dyes (anthraquinone dyes, brilliant blue, yellow dye, methylene blue, disperse orange, disperse blue, rhodamine B), drug residue, and hazardous materials, and can be used as raw material or in a film form. Since there is a high abundance of chitosan raw material in Indonesia, it is supposed to be able to support the application of chitosan as a natural purifying agent considering its high ability to absorb heavy metal and some dangerous materials.
