Abstract
The valorization of renewable feedstock to produce a plethora of value-added products could promote the transition towards a circular bioeconomy. This study presents the development of cascade processes to bioconvert spent coffee grounds (SCGs) into microbial oil and carotenoids employing sustainable practices. The stepwise recovery of crude phenolic extract and coffee oil was carried out using green or recyclable solvents, i.e., aqueous ethanol and hexane. Palmitic acid (43.3%) and linoleic acid (38.9%) were the major fatty acids in the oil fraction of SCGs. The LC-MS analysis of crude phenolic extracts revealed that chlorogenic acid dominated (45.7%), while neochlorogenic acid was also detected in substantial amounts (24.0%). SCGs free of coffee oil and phenolic compounds were subjected to microwave-assisted pretreatment under different irradiations and solvents to enhance subsequent enzymatic saccharification. Microwave/water pretreatment at 400 W, followed by enzymatic hydrolysis with proteases, hemicellulases, and cellulases, at 50 g/L initial SCGs, led to satisfying overall yields of cellulose (75.4%), hemicellulose (50.3%), and holocellulose (55.3%). Mannan was the most extractable polysaccharide followed by galactan and arabinan. SCGs hydrolysate was used in fed-batch bioreactor fermentations with Rhodosporidium toruloides to produce 24.0 g/L microbial oil and carotenoids of 432.9 μg/g biomass.

Abstract
A combined chemical-bacterial process was developed to convert vegetable straw waste to high value antifungal iturins. Straws from three widely cultivated vegetable (cucumber, tomato and pepper) were evaluated as feedstocks for iturin production. Microwave assisted hydrolysis with very dilute acid (0.2% w/w H2SO4) achieved efficient reducing sugar recovery. The high glucose concentration in non-detoxified hydrolysate from pepper straw facilitated the optimal growth of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain Cas02 and stimulated the production of iturin. The fermentation parameters were optimised to enhance the iturin production efficiency. The obtained fermentation extract was further purified using macroporous adsorption resin, resulting in an iturin-rich extract that exhibited strong antifungal activity against Alternaria alternata with an IC50 of 176.44 μg/mL. Each iturin homologue was identified using NMR. Overall, 1.58 g iturin-rich extract containing 164.06 mg/g iturins was obtained from 100 g pepper straw, illustrating the great potential of valorising pepper straw via this process.

Abstract
Coffee waste is an abundant biomass that can be converted into high value chemical products, and is used in various renewable biological processes. In this study, oil was extracted from spent coffee grounds (SCGs) and used for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production through Pseudomonas resinovorans. The oil-extracted SCGs (OESCGs) were hydrolyzed and used for biohydrogen production through Clostridium butyricum DSM10702. The oil extraction yield through n-hexane was 14.4%, which accounted for 97% of the oil present in the SCGs. OESCG hydrolysate (OESCGH) had a sugar concentration of 32.26 g/L, which was 15.4% higher than that of the SCG hydrolysate (SCGH) (27.96 g/L). Hydrogen production using these substrates was 181.19 mL and 136.58 mL in OESCGH and SCGH media, respectively. The consumed sugar concentration was 6.77 g/L in OESCGH and 5.09 g/L in SCGH media. VFA production with OESCGH (3.58 g/L) increased by 40.9% compared with SCGH (2.54 g/L). In addition, in a fed-batch culture using the extracted oil, cell dry weight was 5.4 g/L, PHA was 1.6 g/L, and PHA contents were 29.5% at 24 h.

Abstract
A phenomenological multi-response multi-parameter Acetone–Butanol–Ethanol fermentation dynamic model is developed and calibrated for fermentation process studies. The model was constructed based on other models reported in the literature and was calibrated with a maximum likelihood parameter estimation over Acetone–Butanol–Ethanol fermentation experimental data from the literature. After parameter estimation, a rigorous statistical analysis was conducted to evaluate standard deviations of estimated parameters and predicted responses as well as their respective 95% probability confidence intervals for correct parameters and responses. The significance of parameters was assessed via a Fisher’s F test. From the Base-Model with 17 parameters, a tight, more compact, Reduced-Model was developed with 9 highly significant parameters after deleting 8 nonsignificant parameters from the Base-Model and re-estimating the remaining 9 parameters. This Reduced-Model showed good adherence to the experimental data and had better performance comparatively relative to the Base-Model with 17 parameters using two different inhibition functions reported in the literature. The Reduced-Model is sufficiently good for preliminary engineering and economic assessments of ABE fermentation processes.

Abstract
Spent coffee grounds (SCGs) are a promising substrate that can be valorized by biotechnological processes, such as for short-chain organic acid (SCOA) production, but their complex structure implies the application of a pretreatment step to increase their biodegradability. Physicochemical pretreatments are widely studied but have multiple drawbacks. An alternative is the application of biological pretreatments that include using fungi Trametes versicolor and Paecilomyces variotii that naturally can degrade complex substrates such as SCGs. This study intended to compare acidic and basic hydrolysis and supercritical CO2 extraction with the application of these fungi. The highest concentration of SCOAs, 2.52 gCOD/L, was achieved after the acidification of SCGs pretreated with acid hydrolysis, but a very similar result, 2.44 gCOD/L, was obtained after submerged fermentation of SCGs by T. versicolor. This pretreatment also resulted in the best acidification degree, 48%, a very promising result compared to the 13% obtained with the control, untreated SCGs, highlighting the potential of biological pretreatments.

Impact of a Pretreatment Step on the Acidogenic Fermentation of Spent Coffee Grounds. Bioengineering (Basel) 2022; 9:bioengineering9080362.

Abstract
Acidogenic fermentation (AF) is often applied to wastes to produce short-chain organic acids (SCOAs)—molecules with applications in many industries. Spent coffee grounds (SCGs) are a residue from the coffee industry that is rich in carbohydrates, having the potential to be valorized by this process. However, given the recalcitrant nature of this waste, the addition of a pretreatment step can significantly improve AF. In this work, several pretreatment strategies were applied to SCGs (acidic hydrolysis, basic hydrolysis, hydrothermal, microwave, ultrasounds, and supercritical CO2 extraction), evaluated in terms of sugar and inhibitors release, and used in AF. Despite the low yields of sugar extracted, almost all pretreatments increased SCOAs production. Milder extraction conditions also resulted in lower concentrations of inhibitory compounds and, consequently, in a higher concentration of SCOAs. The best results were obtained with acidic hydrolysis of 5%, leading to a production of 1.33 gSCOAs/L, an increase of 185% compared with untreated SCGs.

Abstract
The present study aimed to enzymatic deinking of waste papers and to valorize the effluent for biobutanol production. Application of fungal enzymatic cocktail (cellulase, amylase, xylanase, pectinase, lipase, and ligninase) on office used paper, newspaper, and ballpen written paper leading to improvement in brightness (84.91, 72.51, 76.69 % ISO), InKd (82.89, 68.95, 76.49%), κ-number (12.9, 13.6, and 13.1), opacity (27.91, 30.07, and 2.85%), tensile strength (49.24, 45.31, and 46.98 Nm/g), respectively and indices were consistent with chemical treated pulps. The quality of effluent generated during enzymatic deinking in respect to BOD and COD level was eco-friendlier than the chemical process. The enzyme-treated effluent was employed as supporting substrate for butanol (18.4 g/l) production by Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC824. Material balance and life cycle assessment of the whole processes were evaluated to validate its industrial and environmental relevance.

Abstract
A multistep approach was undertaken for biobutanol production targeting valorization of agricultural waste. Optimum production of lignocellulolytic enzymes [CMCase (3822.93U/mg), FPase (3640.93U/mg), β-glucosidase (3873.92U/mg), xylanase (3460.24U/mg), pectinase (3359.57U/mg), α-amylase (4136.54U/mg), and laccase (3863.16U/mg)] was accomplished through solid-substrate fermentation of pretreated mixed substrates (wheat bran, sugarcane bagasse and orange peel) by Aspergillus niger SKN1 and Trametes hirsuta SKH1. Partially purified enzyme cocktail was employed for saccharification of the said substrate mixture into fermentable sugar (69.23 g/L, product yield of 24% w/w). The recovered sugar with vegetable extract supplements was found as robust fermentable medium that supported 16.51 g/L biobutanol production by Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC824. The sequential bioprocessing of low-priced substrates and exploitation of vegetable extract as growth factor for microbial butanol production will open a new vista in biofuel research.

Abstract
In recent years, lignocellulosic biomass has emerged as one of the most versatile energy sources among the research community for the production of biofuels and value-added chemicals. However, biomass pretreatment plays an important role in reducing the recalcitrant properties of lignocellulose, leading to superior quality of target products in bioenergy production. Among existing pretreatment techniques, liquid hot water (LHW) pretreatment has several outstanding advantages compared to others including minimum formation of monomeric sugars, significant removal of hemicellulose, and positive environmental impacts; however, several constraints of LHW pretreatment should be clarified. This contribution aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of reaction mechanism, reactor characteristics, influencing factors, techno-economic aspects, challenges, and prospects for LHW-based biomass pretreatment. Generally, LHW pretreatment could be widely employed in bioenergy processing from biomass, but circular economy-based advanced pretreatment techniques should be further studied in the future to achieve maximum efficiency, and minimum cost and drawbacks.

Abstract
This paper describes a study of fed-batch SSFR (simultaneous saccharification, fermentation and recovery) for butanol production from alkaline-pretreated rice straw (RS) in a 2-L stirred tank reactor. The initial solid (9.2% w/v) and enzyme (19.9 FPU g-dw-1) loadings were previously optimized by 50-mL batch SSF assays. Maximum butanol concentration of 24.80 g L-1 was obtained after three biomass feedings that doubled the RS load (18.4% w/v). Butanol productivity (0.344 g L-1h-1) also increased two-fold in comparison with batch SSF without recovery (0.170 g L-1h-1). Although fed-batch SSFR was able to operate with a single initial enzyme dosage, an extra dosage of nutrients was required with the biomass additions to achieve this high productivity. The study showed that SSFR can efficiently improve butanol production from a lignocellulosic biomass accompanied by the efficient use of the enzyme.

Abstract
Orange waste (OW), an abundant and severe globally environmental treat, was used for biobutanol and biohydrogen production emploing acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation through a biorefinery process. The solvent yield from untreated OW was insufficient; thus, the substrate was subjected to hydrothermal pretreatment before hydrolysis. The pretreatment at 140 ℃ for 30 min resulted in the solid with the highest yield of hydrolysis and fermentation. Moreover, the anaerobic digestion of hydrolysis residue produced appreciable amounts of biomethane. However, the pretreatment liquor was not fermentable; thus, it was detoxified by overliming for 24 h at 30 ℃ and then fermented. Overall, this sustainable biorefinery, based on pretreatment without any additional chemical agent, hydrolysis of pretreated solids, detoxification of pretreatment liquor, ABE fermentation, and anaerobic digestion of residues, produced 42.3 g biobutanol, 33.1 g acetone, 13.4 g ethanol, 104.5 L biohydrogen, and 28.3 L biomethane per kg of OW that contained 4560 kJ energy.

Abstract
The development of an efficient third-generation L-lactic acid (L-LA) production process from Eucheuma denticulatum extract (EDE) was achieved in this study. Microwave-assisted dilute acid hydrolysis (MADAH) and microwave-assisted hydrothermal hydrolysis (MAHTH) were chosen as the hydrolysis of EDE for the objective of increasing galactose yield. Single-factor optimization of hydrolysis of the EDE was studied, MADAH had high performance in galactose production relative to MAHTH, in which the yield and optimal conditions for both processes were 50.7% (0.1 M H2SO4, 120 °C for 25 min) and 47.8% (0 M H2SO4,160 °C for 35 min), respectively. For fermentation, the optimal L-LA yield was achieved at the inoculum cell density of 4% (w/w) Bacillus coagulans ATCC 7050 with 89.4% and 6% (w/w) Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-14 with 87.6%. In addition, lipid-extracted Chlorella vulgaris residues (CVRs) as co-nutrient supplementation increased the relative abundance of B. coagulans ATCC 7050, thus benefiting L-LA production.

Abstract
Managing plastic waste remains an urgent environmental concern and switching to biodegradable plastics can reduce the dependence on depleting fossil fuels. This study emphasises the efficacy of macroalgae wastes, Eucheuma denticulatum residues (EDRs), as potential alternate feedstock to produce l-lactic acid (l-LA), the monomer of polylactic acid, through fermentation. An innovative environmental friendly strategy was explored in this study to develop a glucose platform from EDRs: pretreatment with microwave-assisted autohydrolysis (MAA) applied to enhance enzymatic hydrolysis of EDRs. The results indicate that MAA pretreatment significantly increased the digestibility of EDRs during the enzymatic hydrolysis process. The optimum pretreatment conditions were 120 °C and 50 min, resulting in 96.5% of enzymatic digestibility after 48 h. The high l-LA yield of 98.6% was obtained using pretreated EDRs and supplemented with yeast extract. The energy analysis implies that MAA pretreatment could further improve the overall energy efficiency of the process.
