“…The agricultural and food industries have largely produced a tremendous amount of wastes, which cause an astonishing effect and risk to the nature. [1] These rural wastes will contribute to environmental impacts such as air, water, and river pollutions. This is due to the escalation of pollutant disposal and industrial sustainability.…”

This study covered the preparation and characterization of durian husk cellulose (DHC)-filled chitosan (CS) biocomposite films. The effects of the DHC content and bleaching treatment via hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) on the tensile and thermal properties of the CS/DHC biocomposite films were investigated. The results showed that the tensile strength and percentage of elongation at break decreased with increasing DHC contents, but the modulus of elasticity of the CS/DHC biocomposite films increased along with the DHC contents. The bleaching treatment of the durian husk is to remove the lignin content to form bleached DHC, resulting in an improvement of tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and thermal properties of bleached CS/DHC biocomposite films. The functional groups of the unbleached and bleached DHC filler were proved by the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis, and the thermal stability and glass transition temperature (T g ) of the CS/DHC biocomposite films were measured by the thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis, respectively.

“…The agricultural and agrofood industries produce great amounts of wastes, which exhibit a tremendous threat to the environment [ 1 ]. These agricultural wastes and by-products cause negative impacts in terms of environmental concern due to the increasing amount of pollutant disposal and in terms of industrial sustainability due to the high costs related to their management [ 2 ].…”

Response surface methodology was used to optimize preparation of biocomposites based on poly(lactic acid) and durian peel cellulose. The effects of cellulose loading, mixing temperature, and mixing time on tensile strength and impact strength were investigated. A central composite design was employed to determine the optimum preparation condition of the biocomposites to obtain the highest tensile strength and impact strength. A second-order polynomial model was developed for predicting the tensile strength and impact strength based on the composite design. It was found that composites were best fit by a quadratic regression model with high coefficient of determination (R 2) value. The selected optimum condition was 35 wt.% cellulose loading at 165°C and 15 min of mixing, leading to a desirability of 94.6%. Under the optimum condition, the tensile strength and impact strength of the biocomposites were 46.207 MPa and 2.931 kJ/m2, respectively.

“…The food waste and losses recovery problem has attracted the interest of researchers in the last thirty years (see Youngs et al, 1983, Kantor et al, 1997, Hyde et al, 2001, Al Seadi and Holm-Nielsen, 2004, Gustavsson and Stage, 2011, Garrone et al, 2012, Prado et al, 2010, Smil, 2004, Kummu et al, 2012, Kosseva, 2009, Nahman et al, 2012. Regardless of the noticeable interest arisen about the problem, the effective sustainability of food loss reduction policies strongly depends on the evidence of the economic benefits achievable.…”
