Title Exploring Biopolymer for Food and Pharmaceuticals Application in the Circular Bioeconomy: An Agro-Food Waste-to-Wealth Approach
Year 2024
Published
Abstract Globally, a substantial quantity of agricultural food waste and byproducts that contain significant bioactive chemicals are produced, particularly across the whole supply chain. Reducing food waste and byproducts is the initial choice to mitigate environmental issues and contribute to economic and societal well-being. Despite the implementation of many policies and the availability of numerous management methods to utilize agricultural food wastes, these wastes continue to be generated on a yearly basis. Researchers have identified numerous types of waste materials that can be used as substrates in the manufacturing of biomaterials. Conversely, there has been a growing emphasis on using agro-food waste, namely waste from fruits, vegetables, and fatty products, to produce various types of biopolymers. Biopolymers comprise gelatin, xanthan gum, cellulose, collagen, Polyhydroxyalkanoates and other chemically related substances. This review focuses on significant biopolymeric materials synthesized from agricultural food waste and their prospective applications. This work also addresses the difficulties and possibilities associated with the creation of sustainable biopolymer-based composites derived from agri-food waste biomass through a closed loop strategy and circular economy. The study's findings suggest that incorporating agricultural biomass into the production of biopolymer-based composites holds significant promise for improving environmental sustainability. The extensive aggregated data can aid academics in addressing and resolving the problems related to food waste and the depletion of fossil fuels.
