“…More than 1.5 million tons of apples are used in juice production in Poland (Kołodziejczyk et al, 2007). Only 20% of the resulting thousands of tons of pomace is used in animal nutrition (Dhillon et al, 2013). To date, fruit pomace has been used in poultry nutrition only locally, mostly in developing countries, to reduce feed costs (Matoo et al, 2001).…”

Current and previous studies on bio-based (fruit) wastes and wastewaters, with a particular emphasis on research in South Africa, were reviewed. Previous studies have focused predominantly on the beneficiation and application of fruit waste as a feedstock for renewable energy. A definite gap in knowledge and application of fruit waste streams with regard to enzyme production as a value-added product is identified. The characteristics and composition of each type of fruit waste are highlighted and their potential as feedstocks in the production of value-added products is identified. The conversion of agri-industrial wastewaters to bioenergy and value-added products is discussed, with special mention of the newly published South African Bio-Economy Strategy, and the potential production of biofuels and enzymes from waste streams using recombinant Aspergillus strains. Finally, to maximise utilisation of waste streams in South Africa and abroad, a conceptual model for an integrated system using different technologies is proposed.

“…An example is apple pomace, which can be used as substrate for the microbial production of some organic acids (citric and lactic acids), enzymes (cellulases, amylases, and others), biofuels, and biopolymers as well as for the direct extraction of antioxidant compounds, such as catechins, quercetin glycosides, procyanidins, and caffeic and chlorogenic acids, among others [8]. In some studies, Aliakbarian [23] described the use of olive pomace in direct combustion, animal feed, and soil conditioning.…”

“…After extraction of natural products of pharmaceutical interest or industrial application, the residues (e.g., fibers [10]) or other compounds (e.g., nutrients [8]) are discarded, not only generating an environmental pollution problem, but a loss of biomass that could have been used for the production of different products with economic value [11].…”

Natural products: an extraordinary source of value-added compounds from diverse biomasses in Brazil

The biodiversity of Brazil contains an extraordinary number of compounds from natural products with a wide and complex variety of molecular structures, therefore representing an economic potential in biomasses to be explored. Plant systems are the principal source of medicine and directly contribute to the development of new drugs in addition to agrochemicals, cosmetics, fine chemicals and nutraceuticals. Besides plants, other biomasses can be used as raw material, including marine organisms and microorganisms such as extremophilic and endophytic microbes. Interest in natural products for diverse uses is attributed to their different bioactivities, low toxicity and environmental sustainability. Based on these attributes, other non-biological applications of natural products from biomasses have been reported for use in textiles, antifouling coating in marine transportation, wood adhesives, industrial polymers and biofuel. After extractions of natural products of pharmaceutical interest or industrial application, such as polymers, or even of metabolites for biofuels, the residues (e.g., fibers) or other compounds (e.g., nutrients) are discarded generating unnecessary environmental pollution, but they could be used for the production of different value-added products. Some examples of residues that are being explored for added value by extracting other natural metabolites are olive and apple pomace, macauba and carnauba cakes, and cashew nut shell liquid. Residues and by-products derived from different biomasses in Brazil are a potential source of compounds of biological and industrial interest and therefore must be investigated in order to add value to the entire supply chain of natural product.
