Title	A bacterial outlook on the caproate production from food waste
Year	2024
Published	Reviews In Environmental Science And Bio-Technology, 23, 3
Abstract	As an essential strategy for transitioning towards a circular economy for a sustainable society, food waste (FW) can be efficiently used for the biological production of added-value compounds such as medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs). The microbial conversion of FW into MCFAs is an ecofriendly, sustainable and cost-effective approach that reduces the great pressure on land and water resources associated with traditional MCFAs production methods. Among the MCFAs, caproate holds high economic value and a large market size due to its widespread application in several industrial areas. The biological production of caproate from FW is a complex mechanism that requires a deep understanding of microbial dynamics, metabolic potentialities and functional stability for process optimization and large-scale application. This review aims to outline the existing knowledge about bacterial component involved in the caproate production from FW. Innovative approaches to address current research gaps, ensuring a thorough and up-to-date understanding of the biological caproate production are herein identified and proposed.
