"As the global population continues to increase, the accumulation of food wastes is becoming a major problem, causing resource depletion and a wide range of environmental implications, including greenhouse gas emissions. A viable way to reduce environmental pollution and achieve a sustainable bioeconomy is to convert food wastes into high-end bioproducts.5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a promising platform chemical that can be produced from wasted food such as fruits and vegetables. One of the potential HMF derivatives is 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, which has applications in the synthesis of metal-organic framework materials and polymers, among others. Currently, the conversion of HMF from food wastes suffers from low production yield mainly due to a limited hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass and the low selectivity of the conventional catalysts. HMF conversion from food wastes can be improved by combining an appropriate pretreatment with a high-performance catalyst-solvent system. Bananas are one of the most consumed foods in the world. Banana peel (BP), a widely discarded waste product, has a high carbohydrate content, making it an appealing feedstock for HMF production. In this study, BP was efficiently hydrolyzed under solvent-free mechanoenzymatic conditions, without the need for chemical pretreatment. Mechanoenzymatic hydrolysis is a promising environmentally friendly alternative to conventional enzyme hydrolysis of BP. Under optimal reaction conditions, mechanoenzymatic hydrolysis of BP produced higher yields of glucose (40.5 g/100 g dry BP) and fructose (17.2 g/100 g dry BP) than chemical hydrolysis (33 and 14.5 g/100 g dry BP glucose and fructose, respectively). The AlCl3˟H2O-DMSO/H2O system was used to transform the crude sugars generated by hydrolysis, resulting in 71.9 mol% HMF production"--

Global energy use is approximately 140 000 TWh per year. Interestingly, biomass production amounts to approximately 270 000 TWh per year, or roughly twice as much, whereas the official figure of biomass use for energy applications is 10-13% of the global energy use. This shows that biomass is not a marginal energy resource but more than capable of

HANDBOOK of BIOMASS VALORIZATION for INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS The handbook provides a comprehensive view of cutting-edge research on biomass valorization, from advanced fabrication methodologies through useful derived materials, to current and potential application sectors. Industrial sectors, such as food, textiles, petrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, generate massive amounts of waste each year, the disposal of which has become a major issue worldwide. As a result, implementing a circular economy that employs sustainable practices in waste management is critical for any industry. Moreover, fossil fuels, which are the primary sources of fuel in the transportation sector, are also being rapidly depleted at an alarming rate. Therefore, to combat these global issues without increasing our carbon footprint, we must look for renewable resources to produce chemicals and biomaterials. In that context, agricultural waste materials are gaining popularity as cost-effective and abundantly available alternatives to fossil resources for the production of a variety of value-added products, including renewable fuels, fuel components, and fuel additives. Handbook of Biomass Valorization for Industrial Applications investigates current and emerging feedstocks, as well as provides in-depth technical information on advanced catalytic processes and technologies that enable the development of all possible alternative energy sources. The 22 chapters of this book comprehensively cover the valorization of agricultural wastes and their various uses in value-added applications like energy, biofuels, fertilizers, and wastewater treatment. Audience The book is intended for a very broad audience working in the fields of materials sciences, chemical engineering, nanotechnology, energy, environment, chemistry, etc. This book will be an invaluable reference source for the libraries in universities and industrial institutions, government and independent institutes, individual research groups, and scientists working in the field of valorization of biomass.

This book explores the concept and methods of waste management with a new approach of biological valorization. Waste valorization is a process that aims to reduce, reuse, and recycle the waste into usable, value-added, and environmental benign raw materials which can be a source of energy. The book brings together comprehensive information to assert that waste can be converted into a resource or a raw material for value addition. Waste valorization imbibes the natural recycling principles of zero waste, loop closing, and underlines the importance of sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives. Drawing upon research and examples from around the world, the book is offering an up-to-date account, and insight into the contours of waste valorization principles, biovalorization technologies for diverse group of wastes including agricultural, municipal, and industrial waste. It further discusses the emerging paradigms of waste valorization, waste biorefineries, valorization technologies for energy, biofuel, and biochemical production. The book meets the growing global needs for a comprehensive and holistic outlook on waste management. It is of interest to teachers, researchers, scientists, capacity builders and policymakers. Also, the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of biotechnology and environmental sciences.
