Use of waste bread to produce fermentation products
No full textBread, the staple of the west and, increasingly, the rest of the world, is also one of the most heavily wasted of all food products. Currently, much of this waste is disposed of in landfill sites where it decomposes to methane and carbon dioxide. Yet it is a potentially valuable, renewable resource for the production of chemicals. This chapter explores the opportunities for enhancing the value of this cereal-based waste food through the use of fermentation. Following a review of the literature concerning bread waste utilization, potential process systems are proposed and examined. As bread is a solid raw material, solid state fermentation is preferred as the most efficient means of delivering bioprocesses, and some preliminary optimization studies are presented
Valorization of rice straw for ethylene and jet fuel production: a technoeconomic assessment
No full textThe goal of the present study is to exemplify ways to valorize lignocellulosic food waste within the biorefinery concept. Rice straw was selected as the feedstock of focus, but the presented methodologies can be extended to other similar materials such as sugarcane bagasse, wheat straw, and corn stover. The research presents alternative and sustainable conceptual design strategies for the production of two major products of conventional refineries, that is, ethylene and jet fuel. The assessment provides a comprehensive approach that includes technical design, process modeling, and economic evaluation. Based on a plant treating 100 dry t/h of rice straw, 27.8MWh of energy are required to generate a ton of ethylene and a 43.7% energy efficiency is realized for the aviation fuel case. The conduction of a typical discounted cash flow analysis resulted in minimum selling prices (MSP) of 1.52/L for jet fuel. The conduction of a sensitivity analysis revealed that the processes are capital and feedstock intensive, while an increase to final products yield will favor the economic performance of the examined biorefineries
Cellular Systems
No full textBiotechnology plays an increasingly important role in the twenty-first century. In the past few decades, a wide variety of biosynthesis processes have been developed and applied throughout the pharmaceutical industry, agriculture, food, energy, chemical industry, and many other fields. This article briefly introduces the recent progress in cellular systems in bioprocesses, including bacteria, yeasts, filamentous fungi, algae, plant cells, and animal cells. It also covers stem cells and man-made artificial cells, which develop rapidly and show promising potential in future therapy of human diseases. The emphasis has been mainly focused on heterologous protein expressions and the production of biochemicals, biofuels, and biopolymers using various cellular systems. The cell culture conditions, for example, solid-state fermentation and immobilized cell fermentation, are also discussed. It is expected to significantly reduce the energy consumption and carbon dioxide emission by applying bioconversion processes using either whole cells or enzymes produced from cells
