The post-harvest processing of strawberries generates considerable amounts of by-products that consist of the inedible parts of the fruit (sepal, calyx, stem, and non-marketable portion of the fruit), which is an environmental ...

BACKGROUND: The koji mold Aspergillus sojae, an industrially important microorganism, can produce high levels of pectinases utilizing agro-industrial wastes. This study introduces apricot and peach pomace, two agro-industrial ...

The juicing industry generates large amounts of waste that mostly lack commercial value and, in the absence of waste treatment policies, produces environmental pollution. Also, microbiological spoilage is a major concern ...

Agro- and forest-industrial wastes are abundant and low cost sources of carbohydrates and phenolic compounds, which can be converted into biofuels, biomaterials, and high added-value compounds by different pathways in small ...

This work's objective was to determine the antagonist activity of 11 Enterococcus spp. using industrial food wastes as a culture medium. The strains were isolated from invertebrates collected on the Argentinian Patagonia ...

Cuyo Region generates a significant quantity of agro-industrial wastes. To exploit this waste for energy production, a combustor was installed in this region. To improve its design and operation, a kinetic study of six ...

Xylanolytic enzymes were produced by Aspergillus niger NRRL3 grown on agro-industrial by-products obtained from the processing of wheat flour without pretreatment. Significant parameters for xylanase production were screened ...

Agro-industrial waste disposal is becoming a key issue as a consequence of the increasing number of by-products generated. Within this context, this work proposes an integral, effective and sustainable use of biowaste from ...

The adsorption on activated carbon has been shown to be very effective for the removal of heavy metals from water. This work details the removal of lead by adsorption onto activated carbon obtained from wastes of grape ...

The objective of the present study was to develop a cost-effective medium, using agro-industrial wastes for the production of a polygalacturonase by Wickerhanomyces anomalus of interest in cassava starch industries. The ...
