In a scenario of increasing alarm about food waste due to rapid urbanization, population growth and lifestyle changes, this study aims explore the valorization from retail sector as potential substrates for biotechnological production biosurfactants. With perspective increasingly contributing realization circular bioeconomy, vegetable juice, derived unsold fruits vegetables, carbon source was used produce lipopeptides such surfactin fengycin. The results shake flask cultivations revealed...
Supply chain waste gives rise to significant challenges in terms of disposal, making upcycling a promising and sustainable alternative for the recovery bioactive compounds from by-products. Lignocellulosic by-products like STF231, which are derived medicinal plant extract industry, offer valuable such as polyphenols iridoids that can be recovered through upcycling. In an unprecedented study, we explored compared conventional hydroethanolic extraction, ultrasound natural deep eutectic...
Abstract The utilization of low-cost, waste-derived lignocellulosic biomass for biotechnological lactic acid production is an area significant interest. Although numerous attempts have been made to develop novel processes using second-generation feedstocks, the downstream recovery are still relatively uncharted. In this context, study explores a two-step method retrieving from fermented olive leaves medium. initial step involves aqueous two-phase extraction ethanol/ammonium sulfate system,...
Abstract The transition towards a sustainable model, particularly the circular economy, emphasizes importance of redefining waste as valuable resource, paving way for innovative upcycling strategies. olive oil industry, with its significant output agricultural waste, offers promising avenue high-value biomass conversion into useful products through microbial processes. This study focuses on exploring new, applications leaves utilizing biotechnological approach Lactobacillus casei production...
The present work evaluates for the first time use of urea-crosslinked hyaluronic acid (HA-CL), a novel derivative native (HA), to produce microspheres (MS) by emulsification-solvent evaporation, dermal delivery sodium ascorbyl phosphate (SAP). As term comparison, HA MS were prepared. A pre-formulation study—investigation effects polymers solutions properties (pH, viscosity) and working conditions—led production optimized HA-CL HA-CL—SAP with: almost unimodal size distributions; mean diameter...
This study assesses the efficacy of three white-rot fungi—Bjerkandera adusta, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, and Trametes versicolor—in degrading synthetic dyes lignin in pulp paper mill effluents, which annually contribute around 40,000 million cubic meters dyed waste. Exploiting structural resemblance to lignin, fungi utilize ligninolytic enzymes—lignin peroxidase, manganese laccase—to break down pollutants. Initial mycoremediation trials dye solutions with Direct black 80, yellow 11, Basic...
The widespread use of corticosteroids as molecules with high therapeutic potential has shown a gradual increase in recent years, but there is need to progressively have effects an increasingly low side effect profile. chemical approach the synthesis new often time-consuming, expensive, impacts environment, difficult, and requires multiple manufacturing steps contrast green approaches. In decades, microbial biotransformation introduced alternative corticosteroids; however, although seems be...
