Rapeseed meal (RSM), a by-product of oilseed extraction connected to the agri-food and biofuel sectors, is currently used as animal feed for other low-value purposes. With biorefinery approach, RSM could be valorized source bio-based molecules high-value applications. This study provides chemical characterization in perspective its valorization. A qualitative main functional groups by fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was integrated with macronutrients, minerals inductively...
Recently, biorefineries have emerged globally as an attractive alternative to conventional fuel production, but costs still need be competitive. Latest policy actions such the Green Deal or Circular Economy Action Plan encourage maximising biomass-to-products value chain through use of all valuable compounds available in side-streams full extent. Side-streams from corn and rapeseed-based biofuels industries represent excellent sources bioactive proteins, mainly under-utilised animal feed...
Rapeseed meal (RSM), a by-product of rapeseed oil extraction, is currently used for low-value purposes. With biorefinery approach, proteins may be extracted and recovered high-end uses to fully exploit their nutritional functional properties. This study reports the application RSM protein isolate, main output biorefining process aimed at recovering high-value molecules from meal, as supplement texture-modified (TM) food designed elderly people with mastication dysphagia problems. The...
With the increasing consumption of coffee beverages, an increased amount food waste—spent grounds (SCG)—is generated and disposed into landfills or combusted in incinerators. SCG are characterized as a highly polluting substance with partial toxicity due to presence caffeine, tannins, polyphenols. It also contains 15% oil on average, its potential for biodiesel production is thus considerable. The aim presented work evaluate possibility technical from (SCGO) by esterification...
First-generation biofuel biorefineries may be a starting point for the development of new value chains, as their by-products and side streams retain nutrients valuable molecules that recovered valorized high-value applications. This study provides chemical characterization post-fermentation corn oil thin stillage, dry-grind bioethanol production, in view valorization. An overall long-term was conducted on two co-products collected over 1 year from plant. Water content, acid value,...
The aim of this work was to develop innovative and sustainable extraction, concentration, purification technologies aimed recover target substances from corn oil, obtained as side stream product biomass refineries. Residues bioactive compounds such carotenoids, phytosterols, tocopherols, polyphenols could be extracted matrix applied ingredients for food feeds, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetic products. These molecules are well known their antioxidant antiradical capacity, besides...
A framework for assessing, from a sustainability and circular bioeconomy point of view, the best valorization approach biorefineries side-streams has been developed validated. Two biorefinery side streams are considered as case-studies validation: rapeseed meal biodiesel corn oil bioethanol production. Firstly, methodology to evaluate different scenarios following holistic that addresses technical aspects, environmental impact, economic analysis. This way, (inspired by Battelle Method using...
The goal of this study was to find suitable composition cultivation media for enniatin production by isolated endophytic strain Fusarium dimerum. In order optimal media, mono- and di- saccharides, complex nitrogen sources L-amino acids directed biosynthesis enniatins were tested. Submerged experiments carried out in flasks. Most promising medium accumulation contained fructose, malt extract peptone bacteriology. Finally, quite expensive carbon source fructose replaced more available syrups....
Oilseed plant Camelina sativa, the member of mustard (Brassicaceae) family, represents re-emerging low input oilseed energy crop with sustainable agronomic characteristics and environmental attractiveness. is a short-season adapted to cool temperate regions Europe, Asia, North America. Although no original Slovak varieties are known be preserved, recently attracts interest agronomists biofuel producers as it possesses many traits that make an ideal candidate for rotation schemes even on...
Post-fermentation corn oil in transesterification process of biodiesel production is considered as feedstock causing major quality problems influencing both filterability and cold flow properties crude biodiesel. Phytosterols steryl glycosides (SG) occurring naturally acylated oil-soluble form are transformed during into unwanted non-acylated SG particles promoting sediments final FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) product. Elimination precipitates removal necessary at industrial scale to...
