Summary: Food waste is a major emitter of greenhouse gases, causing environmental devastation. A significant amount of food, almost one-third, is wasted during the supply chain and harvesting process, resulting in a loss of $1 trillion annually. Various industries, such as beverage, dairy, fruit and vegetable, and cereal, contribute to the generation of different types of food waste, which can be used as feedstock in biorefineries to reduce environmental impacts and produce value-added products. Food waste biorefineries have the potential to support circular bioeconomy and address sustainability challenges.

Summary: Corn stover (CS) is a common agricultural waste, accounting for 47-50% of the dry mass of total grain yield. It contains cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, making it an ideal raw material for biofuels and chemicals. However, the technoeconomic perspectives of CS-based biorefineries remain questionable due to logistics issues, expensive conversion technologies, limited scale-up, and lower market competitiveness. This review critically discusses the latest research on the biochemical conversion of CS into biofuels and chemicals, covering market potential, technological developments, and economic perspectives.

Summary: In order to reduce costs and increase ethanol production, low-value non-sterile feedstocks can be used, and measures such as acid washing, maintaining low pH, and microaerobic conditions during fermentation can be employed. Creating symbiotic communities of lactic acid bacteria and ethanol producers can lead to more robust and competitive ethanol yields.

Summary: The simultaneous use of UVA light irradiation and low energy cold plasma generated by a dielectric barrier discharge prototype significantly improves the efficiency of the integrated process compared to sole plasma treatment. This has been demonstrated in microbial inactivation of the food-borne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes and the degradation of the biological compound phenylalanine. The analysis of reaction intermediates and spectroscopic identification of peroxynitrites has provided insight into the synergistic effects observed. Additionally, the process has been shown to have no impact on the quality of trout fillets, making it a chlorine-free, green, and sustainable tool for fish processing water decontamination.

Summary: The need for a sustainable food system is driven by the growing global population and higher living standards. However, the production of protein-rich feed for livestock leads to increased waste, which hinders economic and environmental sustainability. Microbial protein (MP) production utilizing renewable electron and carbon sources shows potential as an alternative protein source. This review focuses on the potential waste feedstock for MP production and discusses the recent progress in the application of MP-producing microorganisms, as well as the challenges and future perspectives in MP application as animal feed.

Summary: SCP derived from microbial biomass is a promising protein source for animal feed additives. Utilizing nutrient-rich wastewaters for microbial community-based SCP production incurs lower costs compared to traditional methods, yet has received little attention. More research is needed to determine the optimal microbial community composition for SCP production and its relationship with influent food-processing wastewaters.

Summary: Mussel culture can effectively extract excess nutrients and improve water quality in eutrophic systems through biodeposition, nutrient retention, denitrification, and sediment nutrient fluxes. The effectiveness of mussel farms is influenced by their location relative to primary nutrient sources and the physical characteristics of the system. These findings are valuable for site selection, bivalve aquaculture development, and monitoring strategies for farming impacts.

Summary: Commercial salmonid farming in open-water net cages can cause unpredictable and widespread environmental impacts. Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) has been proposed as a solution. A model was used to simulate the assimilation of particulate waste from a commercial fish farm by salmon/blue mussel IMTA. The model showed that submerged mussel farms could assimilate 14.6% of the feces, while surface mussel farms only assimilated 0.4% of the waste.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
