“…the image of an area especially the places that are regarded as important tourist destinations (Waghmode et al, 2018). As flower waste may have a significant content of lignocellulose, it may act as a good material to produce bioenergy like biogas, biohydrogen, bioethanol, biocharcoal, or direct burning to get heat energy.…”

“…Bioethanol produced from flower waste can be blended with other fuels which increase its energy efficiency providing an eco-friendly approach of reduced carbon footprint (Waghmode et al, 2018). Through, saccharification of the reducing sugars obtained from the flower waste may give a promising yield of bioethanol and methanol.…”

Temples are considered as the house of deities. As being a part of their culture, people of Hindu religion pay visits to the temple before starting any auspicious occasion to get blessings of their Gods. Out of them, those who are immense believers of God are the daily visitors of temples. As a part of worship, flowers are essentially used. As a result, a huge amount of flower waste is generated from temples worldwide. The majorly offered flowers in temples include rose, marigold, jasmine, Hibiscus, etc. The flower waste generated from such activities causes harmful effects to many life forms, therefore, its management has become an emerging issue. As flower waste contains enough nutrient and lignocellulosic material, it can be used for a variety of purposes like bioenergy and biofuel production, compost preparation, conditioner for lawn dressing, eco-friendly incense sticks, soaps, rose water and other food products, etc. To achieve sustainable energy demands, low-cost bioenergy can be generated from floral waste. Energy from flower waste either might be in the form of biogas, biohydrogen, bioethanol, biocharcoal, or direct burning to get heat energy. This book chapter deals with a possible consequence that may arise as a result of improper flower waste disposal along with its possible utilization for low-cost bioenergy production and how waste flowers can be used as potential bioenergy material.

“…8,9 Production of biofuels can resolve the problem of energy crisis by fermentation of floral waste into value added products such as bioethanol, thus converting the waste into wealth. 10 M. latifolia flowers contain 37% fermentable sugar 11 whereas the free or fermentable sugar content in some of the world's major bioethanol feedstock such as sugarcane juice is just about 12-17%, 12 sugar beet juice 16.5%, 13 sweet sorghum juice 16-21.8%, 14 and watermelon juice 7-10%. 15 The high fermentable sugar content in mahua flowers makes it one of the most attractive non-food biomass resources for ethanol production in current scenario.…”

There is a growing interest worldwide to search new, cheap and non-food biomass source for ethanol production. Bioethanol is a liquid fuel produced from renewable biomass source. In the present study, ethanol production from flowers of Madhuca latifolia trees was investigated by yeast strain isolated from milk whey. The isolated yeast was screened for fermentation ability by carbohydrate fermentation test and subjected to fermentation using M. latifolia flowers as substrate. The isolated yeast strain was identified as Pichia kudriavzevii on the basis of sequencing of D1/D2 domain of rRNA gene through basic local alignment search tool and molecular phylogenetic analysis. Maximum ethanol production, 371 g kg À1 from the flowers was achieved via optimizing operational parameters; a fermentation duration of 48 h, temperature 25 C, and pH 5.0. The effect of nitrogen supplements, enzymatic treatment and co-culture on bioethanol production with the optimized conditions revealed that the optimal condition could produce maximum ethanol without any supplementation or treatment. Co-culturing of P. kudriavzevii strain with Pichia stipitis NCIM 3497 was able to enhance ethanol production. The present study provides baseline information for further scale up of bioethanol production process on industrial level using M. latifolia flowers as a cheap and non-food biomass source.

For long time ago that red beetroot (betalains) has been used as food colouring agent. The development of the organic synthesis led to the production of cheaper food synthetic colorants derived from aniline and other organic compounds that also presenting higher chemical stability and tinctorial strength than natural ones. However, consumers' growing interest in natural products shifted the research goal towards the natural colorants with the objective to improve their chemical stability in diverse food matrices and to find less time‐consuming and more environmental friendly techniques of extraction. Beyond the colouring property of betalains, they exhibit beneficial properties for human health, although their transformations in the organism do not permit explain such biological properties, unless their metabolites also possess activity. This is other research field that starts increasing. Plant and microorganism biotechnology can be a tool for obtaining new natural betalains as well as for enlightening their biosynthetic pathways. Key Concepts New data on the betalain biosynthesis. Betalain bioavailability in animals and humans. Betalain beneficial properties and their molecular mechanisms. Betalains as natural pigments. Encapsulation of betalains.
