Summary: This study investigates the use of Fenton reagents for efficient starch hydrolysis and develops a statistical model to simulate the process. The key factors are hydrolysis temperature and H2O2 amount. Experiment results show that under certain conditions, high hydrolysis yield and carbohydrate content can be achieved. Additionally, a higher concentration of FeSO4 center dot 7H2O slows down starch hydrolysis. Moreover, the hydrolysates demonstrate high methane production potential for bioenergy. A preliminary cost analysis shows that utilizing starch in a potato processing wastewater treatment facility is profitable.

Summary: Thermal treatments are commonly used to extend the shelf-life of vegetable and fruit products by inactivating microorganisms and enzymes, but they can also lead to negative changes in the product quality. In response, the food industry is exploring non-thermal processing technologies as alternatives. These technologies, such as minimal processing, high-pressure processing, high-pressure homogenization, ultrasounds, and pulsed electric fields, offer gentler alternatives to thermal treatments.

Summary: In recent years, there has been a growing concern about foodborne outbreaks and the accumulation of food plastic waste in the environment. This has led to the search for new and innovative food packaging interventions that are sustainable and effective in addressing microbial contamination and ensuring food quality and safety. The use of fruit and vegetable waste-based green films for food packaging has emerged as a potential solution. These biofilms not only provide dynamic barrier properties, but also have antioxidant and antimicrobial properties due to the incorporation of bioactive additives such as essential oils. With the use of advanced technologies, these films can achieve high performance and meet the principles of sustainability. This review also explores the potential application of fruit and vegetable based green films in livestock products, discussing bio-additives, technological interventions, properties, and potential applications.

Summary: Cold plasma technology shows promising potential in retaining the quality properties of fruit beverages by preventing spoilage microorganisms growth, inactivating endogenous enzymes, and maintaining physico-chemical properties. However, the effect of plasma exposure time on bioactive compounds in beverages is significant, while cold plasma has no significant impact on quality parameters of beverages due to less exposure time. Future research should focus on the complex mechanisms of interaction with plasma species.

Summary: This study demonstrates the feasibility of upgrading protein hydrolysates from discarded biomass into high-value products. By fermenting residues from alfalfa, soybean, rice, and bovine wet blue shavings with mixed microbial cultures, high concentrations of volatile fatty acids were obtained. These acids were then used to grow bacteria capable of producing polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), biodegradable polymers with potential as a replacement for petroleum-based plastics. The results showed successful production of PHAs from the hydrolysates, confirming the potential of this process for valorizing protein hydrolysates into high-value bioplastics.

Summary: The application of a biorefinery technology value chain within the urban scenario can convert organic substrates into marketable and added-value products. A pilot-scale dark fermentation process was used to produce volatile fatty acids and hydrogen from sewage sludge and food waste mixture. By changing the hydraulic retention time and applying short-term hyperthermophilic hydrolysis, different operating conditions were monitored and the conversion yield and stability were evaluated. The study showed that the hydrolysis step, as well as reducing the hydraulic retention time, positively affected hydrogen production and fermentation yield.

Summary: The fermentation of winery wastewater in an Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactor was investigated for the production of Volatile Fatty Acids (VFAs) and specifically Caproic Acid (HCa). The study focused on the dynamics of microbiota and the impact of varying Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) periods (8, 5, and 2.5 h). Results showed that reducing HRT from 8 to 5 hours increased total VFA production by approximately 20%, while further reducing HRT to 2.5 hours decreased total VFA production by approximately 50%. Maximum HCa production was observed at a 5-h HRT. Microbial population analysis revealed the dominance of Eubacteria over Archaea, with the Firmicutes Phylum being predominant. Bacteria such as Clostridium kluyveri and Clostridium sp., known for their ability to produce HCa, were identified. The findings suggest that the UASB reactor has practical potential for HCa production when operated with a 5-h HRT, within the biorefinery framework.

Summary: As the global population grows, the demand for food, energy, and water will increase significantly. However, limited land availability and competition for solar resources pose challenges to resource generation technologies. In the United States, both agriculture and solar energy production have adopted densification schemes to improve yields and energy output per unit of land. This research proposes an Agrivoltaic food and energy coproduction architecture that optimizes power generation while maintaining crop productivity by implementing ideal anti-tracking during critical growth periods. This technology offers a viable pathway for widespread solar implementation throughout the contiguous United States.
