“…Globally, wheat supplies more protein than poultry, pig, and bovine meat together [1]. The European Union (EU) is the most important producer of wheat in the world, accounting for over 20% of the global production [2]. According to the European starch manufacture, wheat is the most processed crop, accounting for 35.9% of the total 23.6 million tons of crops processed annually.…”

The process to obtain starch from wheat requires high amounts of water, consequently generating large amounts of wastewater with very high environmental loading. This wastewater is traditionally sent to treatment facilities. This paper introduces an alternative method, where the wastewater of a wheat-starch plant is treated by edible filamentous fungi (Aspergillus oryzae and Rhizopus oryzae) to obtain a protein-rich biomass to be used as e.g. animal feed. The wastewater was taken from the clarified liquid of the first and second decanter (ED1 and ED2, respectively) and from the solid-rich stream (SS), whose carbohydrate and nitrogen concentrations ranged between 15 and 90 and 1.25-1.40 g/L, respectively. A. oryzae showed better performance than R. oryzae, removing more than 80% of COD after 3 days for ED1 and ED2 streams. Additionally, 12 g/L of dry biomass with protein content close to 35% (w/w) was collected, demonstrating the potential of filamentous fungi to be used in wastewater valorization. High content of fermentable solids in the SS sample led to high production of ethanol (10.91 g/L), which can be recovered and contribute to the economics of the process.

“…This compound has demonstrated beneficial activities for human health (such as antioxidant, anti-cancer, improving vascular function), and thus has a high potential of application in the food, health and cosmetic industry [275,299,300,303]. Moreover, FA isolated from crop by-products can be bio-converted into natural vanillin [304].…”

“…The use of amylase and/or xylanase, cellulase and hemicellulase for monomeric sugars or oligosaccharides isolation, and of protease for peptides and proteins, has been largely reported [273,305,306,311]. Feruloyl-esterase was tested for FA and other phenolic acids release, but due to the extremely complicated structure of the cell wall, its combination with an array of enzymes having different digestion activities (e.g., xylanase) can be more effective [304]. Sequential enzymatic digestions (α-amylase, glucoamylase, xylanase) have been proposed for the recovery of a mixture of xylo-oligosaccharides [314], although the recovery of specific oligosaccharides can be hampered by the co-extraction of other cell compounds [308].…”

Abstract:The vast and ever-growing amount of agricultural and food wastes has become a major concern throughout the whole world. Therefore, strategies for their processing and value-added reuse are needed to enable a sustainable utilization of feedstocks and reduce the environmental burden. By-products of potato, tomato, cereals and olive arise in significant amounts in European countries and are consequently of high relevance. Due to their composition with various beneficial ingredients, the waste products can be valorized by different techniques leading to economic and environmental advantages. This paper focuses on the waste generation during industrial processing of potato, tomato, cereals and olives within the European Union and reviews state-of-the-art technologies for their valorization. Furthermore, current applications, future perspectives and challenges are discussed.

“…Oil mill waste was also explored as a source for ß-glucan, which is of interest for the food industry due its good gelling properties and association to health benefits (Patsioura et al, 2011). Fruit and cereal by-products were investigated for their applicability in fruit juice beverages, snacks, bulking agents and fibre enrichment in bakery products (Fava et al, 2013). Through controlling the microstructural properties of the carbohydrate, good sensory properties of the bakery products could be obtained.…”
