Summary: Considering the petroleum and fuel prices in India, there is a pressing need for alternative energy sources. Fossil fuels, the current sources of fuels, are depleting and emit harmful pollutants. Fish waste has been identified as a promising alternative for biogas and biodiesel production. This review explores the benefits and advantages of using fish waste for biofuel manufacturing.

Summary: Hypertension is a major contributor to premature deaths worldwide and can be prevented by managing cardiovascular diseases. Protein hydrolysates containing antihypertensive peptides derived from agri-food industry byproducts, such as chicken slaughterhouse byproducts, have shown potential in lowering blood pressure. These byproducts, including blood, bones, skins, and chicken feet, have been used to produce protein hydrolysates with angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity. Mechanisms underlying their effects include increased levels of antioxidant compounds, reduced ACE activity, and improved endothelial dysfunction associated with hypertension. However, further clinical studies are needed to confirm these antihypertensive properties and enhance the value of these byproducts in the circular economy model of slaughterhouses.

Summary: The search for new food products that promote consumers health is ongoing, with cheese whey (CW) and second cheese whey (SCW) proving to contain potential ingredients for the development of functional food products. While whey products have gained popularity for their nutritional quality, the by-products CW and SCW are often disregarded or used for animal feed, leading to environmental concerns. More research is needed on the nutritional and functional properties of SCW in order to find ways to reuse this by-product and reduce environmental impacts.

Summary: This study tackles the buffer allocation problem in order to maximize the profit of unreliable production lines. The formulation considers various costs and throughput, and proposes an adaptive hybrid variable neighborhood search algorithm for solving the problem. Additionally, a new initialization procedure based on buffer location is proposed to reduce search effort. Experimental results show that the algorithm is capable of solving profit maximization problems for large production lines, with the number of machines and reliability parameters being the most influential factors.

Summary: This study engineered industrial strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with improved thermotolerance and stress resistance for cell surface display of cellulolytic enzymes, enabling high ethanol titers through consolidated bioprocessing. Additionally, beta-galactosidase was displayed for lactose consumption, resulting in high ethanol production from the simultaneous use of cheese whey and pretreated corn cob as substrate. The multi-feedstock valorization approach and lactose-consuming cellulolytic yeast led to a 60% reduction in materials costs and a 2.5-fold increase in annual ethanol production, contributing to the establishment of economically viable ethanol processes.

Summary: Ethanol and starch are the main products generated from corn processing, while byproducts such as stover, distillers' solubles, gluten meal, and DDGS have valuable compounds for industry. Supercritical technology has been used to valorize these byproducts, yielding biodiesel, biogas, microcapsules, and nutrient extracts. Supercritical technology also offers pretreatment of solid byproducts for hydrolysis and the ability to transform these byproducts into products like structured lipids and fermentable sugars. Process intensification through integration with supercritical fluid equipment could reduce costs and generate novel products.

Summary: This study constructs a duopoly model based on Cournot game, with considerations of sales constraint and no sales constraint. Local stability conditions of Cournot equilibrium are derived, showing that certain sales constraints contribute to stability. Numerical simulation results demonstrate chaotic paths and the coexistence of attractors.

Summary: Food banks are initiatives that redistribute food at risk of becoming waste to people that are food insecure in middle-and high-income countries. This paper describes an optimization model that can assist food bank supply chains with the distribution of an available investment budget in order to increase the number of beneficiaries that can receive food assistance. The model prioritizes investments that will have the largest positive social impact, and the results showed an increase in capacity and 32% more beneficiaries served in a real-life case study in The Netherlands.
