“…Several halophyte species are already being used as food, forage, oilseeds and medicines (Arya et al, 2019;Castañeda-Loaiza et al, 2020;del Rosario Marinoni et al, 2019;Joshi, Kanthaliya, & Arora, 2020). The high content in minerals and the salty taste are two of the attributes that make edible halophytes, and particularly Salicornia so appealing as food items (Price, 2007).…”

The halophyte species Salicornia ramosissima has long been consumed as food and is currently regarded as a high-value gourmet item. However, given that these plants grow in estuarine areas, often impacted by pollution, and are prone to the accumulation of ions, the risks associated with food borne pathogens or toxic metals has to be carefully considered. The objective of this work was to gather evidence that S. ramossissima harvested locally in an estuarine system (Ria de Aveiro, Portugal) can be safely consumed as a healthy and catering-amenable food. Fresh shoots, taken as green vegetables, and dried powdered shoots (green salt) intended as seasoning, were analysed for total aerobic bacteria, total coliforms, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus and fungi (yeasts and moulds). The nutritional profile and the concentration of macro and micro elements, including potential toxic elements, was also established.Fresh shoots and green salt were incorporated in catering meals (soup and a meat dish) and subjected to sensory analyses. The microbiological quality of fresh shoots and green salt was compliant with the guidelines for salad greens and herbs and spices, respectively. The nutritional and elemental profile revealed that fresh shoots have a high content in fibre and NaCl. From the concentration of Na determined in green salt, a daily dose of 7 g was estimated as corresponding to the recommended daily dietary intake Na. None of the other elements was present in concentrations that could exceed the dietary intake limits. In the sensory tests, fresh shoots were well accepted as salad greens but green salt, used as seasoning, was considered as insufficient in terms of saltiness and does not completely substitute cooking salt. The results confirm the nutritional and sensory value of S. ramossisima and represent a promising prospect for the incorporation of locally harvested or crop cultivated plants in catering meals.

“…The output of biofuels will treble by 2030, forecasts the international energy council, with Brazil, the United States, and Indonesia accounting for 80% of the total production. While the second biofuel plant employs raw cellulose mass from non-food crops, the first biofuel producer is linked to growing food costs and poverty (Joshi et al, 2020). Therefore, palm oil, with the highest yield among other vegetable crops, is believed to be the most economical feedstock for biodiesel.…”

This study aims to analyze biofuel use from oil palm as an alternative source of sustainable development. Data were obtained from the Scopus database with the last five years of publication. This research method uses a qualitative approach to the study of literature. Data analysis used bibliometric analysis with Vosviewer and NVIVO 12 plus software. The findings of this study indicate that several countries have used palm oil-based biodiesel as a transportation fuel, one of which is that Indonesia is the leading country in taking advantage of this opportunity. This can be seen from the development of the B30 from government and biodiesel programs which have become triggers for rising CPO prices worldwide and have impacted Fresh Fruit Bunches at the farm level. The study also found fluctuations in the publication of scientific research on biofuels. The most significant contribution to research articles comes from Malaysia. The university with the most number is University Malaya. The following research areas have the potential for further study: production of biofuels, vegetable oils, renewable diesel, and bio. Production energy, biodiesel, biomass, and biofuels are narratives of scientific research papers related to biofuels.

“…Halophytes, which are capable of growth in salinity-afflicted soils are inexpensive sources of lignocellulosic biomass ( Joshi et al, 2020 ). Halophytes produce oilseeds and lignocellulosic biomass; both the products can be exploited for biofuel production.…”

Bioethanol is believed to be an influential revolutionary gift of biotechnology, owing to its elevating global demand and massive production. Pakistan is home to a rich diversity of halophytic flora, convertible into bounteous volumes of bioethanol. On the other hand, the accessibility to the cellulosic part of biomass is a major bottleneck in the successful application of biorefinery processes. The most common pre-treatment procedures existent include physicochemical and chemical approaches, which are not environmentally benign. To overcome these problems, biological pre-treatment has gained importance but the drawback is the low yield of the extracted monosaccharides. The current research was aimed at exploring the best pre-treatment method for the bioconversion of halophyte Atriplex crassifolia into saccharides using three thermostable cellulases. Atriplex crassifolia was subjected to acid, alkali and microwave pre-treatments, followed by compositional analysis of the pre-treated substrates. Maximum delignification i.e. 56.6% was observed in the substrate pre-treated using 3% HCl. Enzymatic saccharification using thermostable cellulases also validated the results where the highest saccharification yield i.e. 39.5% was observed for the sample pre-treated using same. Maximum enzymatic hydrolysis of 52.7% was obtained for 0.40 g of the pre-treated halophyte Atriplex crassifolia where Endo-1,4-β-glucanase (300U), Exo-1,4-β-glucanase (400U) and β-1,4-glucosidase (1000U) were simultaneously added and incubated for 6 h at 75°C. The reducing sugar slurry obtained after optimization of saccharification was utilized as glucose in submerged fermentation for bioethanol production. The fermentation medium was inoculated with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, incubated at 30°C and 180 rpm for 96 h. Ethanol production was estimated using potassium dichromate method. Maximum production of bioethanol i.e. 16.33% was noted at 72 h. It can be concluded from the study that Atriplex crassifolia owing to its high cellulosic content after pre-treatment using dilute acid method, yields substantial amount of reducing sugars and high saccharification rates when subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis using thermostable cellulases, under optimized reaction conditions. Hence, the halophyte Atriplex crassifolia is a beneficial substrate that can be utilized to extract fermentable saccharides for bioethanol production.
