“…Microbial biomass is defined as a form of single cell protein (SCP), and may be useful as a dietary additive. Because it contains large amounts of vitamins, lipids, proteins and all essential amino acids, SCP has high nutritional value and bioavailability [ 29 ]. The accumulation of protein in fermented waste results from the selective degradation of its components.…”

“…Given these requirements, the most common microbial protein additive is yeast biomass. The protein content of yeast cells does not exceed 60%, but the concentration of essential amino acids (lysine, tryptophan, threonine, and also methionine and cysteine) is satisfactory [ 29 , 31 ]. Bacteria, algae and fungi have also been used in the production of SCP.…”

Concept for Recycling Waste Biomass from the Sugar Industry for Chemical and Biotechnological Purposes

The objective of this study was to develop a method for the thermally-assisted acidic hydrolysis of waste biomass from the sugar industry (sugar beet pulp and leaves) for chemical and biotechnological purposes. The distillates, containing furfural, can be catalytically reduced directly into furfurayl alcohol or tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol. The sugars present in the hydrolysates can be converted by lactic bacteria into lactic acid, which, by catalytic reduction, leads to propylene glycol. The sugars may also be utilized by microorganisms in the process of cell proliferation, and the biomass obtained used as a protein supplement in animal feed. Our study also considered the effects of the mode and length of preservation (fresh, ensilage, and drying) on the yields of furfural and monosaccharides. The yield of furfural in the distillates was measured using gas chromatography with flame ionization detector (GC-FID). The content of monosaccharides in the hydrolysates was measured spectrophotometrically using enzymatic kits. Biomass preserved under all tested conditions produced high yields of furfural, comparable to those for fresh material. Long-term storage of ensiled waste biomass did not result in loss of furfural productivity. However, there were significant reductions in the amounts of monosaccharides in the hydrolysates.

Global agricultural by‐products usually go to waste, especially in developing countries where agricultural products are usually exported as raw products. Such waste streams, once converted to “value‐added” products could be an additional source of revenue while simultaneously having positive impacts on the socio‐economic well‐being of local people. We highlight the utilization of thermochemical techniques to activate and convert agricultural waste streams such as rice and straw husk, coconut fiber, coffee wastes, and okara power wastes commonly found in the world into porous activated carbons and biofuels. Such activated carbons are suitable for various applications in environmental remediation, climate mitigation, energy storage, and conversions such as batteries and supercapacitors, in improving crop productivity and producing useful biofuels.
