Yusoff NM, Suleiman N, Abdul-Hamid AQ, Ali MH. Mapping the interplay of technical, economic, social, and environmental dimensions in food-sector wastewater reclamation: A systematic literature review. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2025; 377:124552. [PMID: 39987864 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2025.124552] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/14/2024] [Revised: 01/28/2025] [Accepted: 02/11/2025] [Indexed: 02/25/2025]
Abstract
Water is an indispensable resource in the food sector, playing a critical role in production processes. However, wastewater generation presents significant challenges, including the opportunity to recover valuable resources. Wastewater reclamation within the food sector has emerged as a crucial practice, offering potential benefits such as economic efficiency, societal well-being, technological advancement, and environmental preservation. This study conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) to consolidate fragmented research and provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of wastewater reclamation in the food sector. This review analyses 51 articles published between 2013 and 2025, sourced from the Scopus and Web of Science database. The review synthesizes existing research and organizes it into two primary dimensions: (1) the factors influencing the implementation of wastewater reclamation in the food industry and (2) the benefits and barriers associated with these practices. The study classifies these factors into five key domains: water consumption, water generation, technological innovation, wastewater utilization, and reuse practices. It further highlights the crucial role of technical considerations in addressing barriers and maximizing the benefits of wastewater reclamation. The paper contributes to the scientific understanding of wastewater reclamation by proposing five key propositions that form a novel interconnected theoretical framework. This framework offers new insights into the complex dynamics of wastewater management in the food sector and identifies emerging trends. The study underscores the importance of aligning wastewater reclamation technologies with business objectives and encourages policymakers to implement robust environmental standards that facilitate sustainable practices.

[PMID: 39029712 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 07/16/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
Biodegradation of hydrophobic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as n-hexane is limited by their poor accessibility. Constructing fungal-bacterial degradation alliances is an effective approach, but the role of those fungi without the capability to degrade VOCs may have been overlooked. In this study, a non-n-hexane-degrading fungus, Fusarium keratoplasticum FK, was utilized to enhance n-hexane degradation by the bacterium Mycobacterium neworleansense WCJ. It was shown that strain WCJ removed 64.84% of n-hexane (at a concentration of 648.20 mg L-1) over 3 d, and 84.04% after introducing strain FK. Microbial growth kinetic studies revealed that the growth of strain WCJ was also promoted. Through a stepwise adsorption-degradation experiment combined with qPCR technology, it was found that the strain WCJ could utilize the n-hexane pre-adsorbed by strain FK, with an increase in copy number from 108.2662 to 108.7731. Therefore, the non-degrading fungi can improved the accessibility of n-hexane by providing n-hexane adsorbed by the mycelium to the degrading bacteria. In addition, the adsorption tests and characterization of the fungal samples before and after Soxhlet extraction indicated that the adsorption of n-hexane on strain FK conformed to Lagergren's pseudo-second-order kinetics and Freundlich adsorption isotherms, and was correlated with the presence of lipids and nonpolar groups. This study emphasizes the potential role of non-degrading fungi in bioremediation and proposes a viable strategy to enhance the bacterial degradation of hydrophobic VOCs.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with their carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic effects can cause great damage to the ecosystem and public health when present in water. With bioremediation, PAH contamination in water environment can be greatly reduced in an eco-friendly manner. It has thus become the research focus for many environmental scientists. In this study, a bibliometric analysis on three-decade (1990-2022) development of PAH bioremediation in water environment was conducted from temporal and spatial dimensions using CiteSpace. A total of 2480 publications, obtained from Web of Science core collection database, were used to explore the basic characteristics, hotspots, and prospects of the research area. The results showed that (1) bioremediation/biodegradation of PAHs in water environment has been getting researchers' attention since 1990, and is gaining even more traction as time goes on. (2) In terms of countries, China and the USA were the major contributors in this research area, while at the institutional level, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has produced the most research results. However, international cooperation across regions was lacking in the field. (3) Environment Science and Technology, Chemosphere, Applied and Environment Microbiology, Journal of Hazardous Materials, and Environment Pollution were the 5 most cited journals in this field. (4) There were three major stages the field has gone through, each with distinct research hotspots, including initial stage (1990-1994), mechanism investigation (1995-2000), and application exploration (2001-2010; 2011-2022). Finally, research perspectives were proposed, covering three directions, namely, bioavailability, immobilization, and viable but nonculturable (VBNC) bacteria.

Abstract
In recent decades, pollution levels have increased, mainly as a result of the intensive anthropogenic activities such industrial development, intensive agricultural practices, among others. The impact of metals and organic contaminants is, nowadays, a great concern to the scientific and political communities. Copper compounds are the main sold pesticides in Europe, as well as herbicides, including glyphosate. Diphenyl ethers are the second ones most sold. Glyphosate and copper compounds are intensively studied, but the opposite is seen in the case of diphenyl ethers, including fluorinated pesticides (e.g., oxyfluorfen). Some research has been performed to increase the knowledge about these contaminants, daily inputted on the aquatic systems and with dangerous effects at physical and biochemical levels on the organisms. A wide range of biomarkers (e.g., growth, survival, reproductive success, enzymatic activity, lipid metabolism) has been applied to determine the potential effects in many species. This review intends to: (a) perform a compilation of the knowledge in previous research about the action mode of organic (fluorinated-based herbicide) and inorganic (copper-based pesticides) contaminants; (b) carry out an information survey about the lethal and sub-lethal effects of the fluorinated-based pesticides, namely the oxyfluorfen and the copper-based pesticides, on aquatic species from different trophic levels, according to in vitro and in vivo studies; (c) understand the impact of oxyfluorfen and copper-based pesticides, considering their effects reported in in vitro studies and, simultaneously, the authorized concentrations by legal organizations and the effective concentrations of each pollutant found in the environment. The literature analyzed revealed noxious effects of Cu and oxyfluorfen to aquatic organisms, including freshwater and marine species, even when exposed to the reference as well as to environmental concentrations, thus highlighting the importance of more monitoring and ecotoxicological studies, to chemical pollutants and different species from different ecological niches, to sustain and improve the legislation.

Abstract
Barley rootlets are the most abundant by-product from the malting industry. Due to the inherent association of the malting industry with brewing and distilling industries, it is also considered a by-product of these industries. Barley rootlets are produced during the germination step of malting. These rootlets are a valuable source of nutrition, with protein and fibre holding a large proportion of their composition. Barley rootlets are generally pelletised and used as animal fodder; however, their usage may not be limited to this. Efforts have been made to utilise barley rootlets as food ingredients, sources of enzymes, antioxidants, raw materials in fermentations, and in biochar production. Conversion of this by-product into other/new applications would reduce waste production from their industry origin and reduce some of the impending environmental concerns associated with by-product production. The current review focuses on providing information on the formation, production, and processing of barley rootlets, while also highlighting the composition, quality, and potential applications of barley rootlets.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to characterize the leachate derived from biochar produced from malt spent rootlets (MSR) and to evaluate the required washing level in order to provide water free from inorganic substances. MSR biochar was placed in a column and subjected to six serial washes with distilled water, and the leachate was analysed for main anions and heavy metals. The 1st wash aliquot contained increased levels of mainly phosphates (980 mg/L) and chlorides (760 mg/L), and lower levels of nitrates, sulfates, fluoride and bromide, which were decreased over washes. Zero concentrations were observed after three washes for most anions. The increased levels of Zn, Be, Cs, Mn, V and Se determined in the 1st wash aliquot were eliminated in the successive washes. The toxic potency of each wash aliquot, determined by the use of the fairy shrimp Thamnocephalus platyurus showed that the 1st and 2nd MSR biochar leachates were toxic with 4.52 and 1.46 toxic units (TU), respectively, followed by a significant elimination of toxicity after further washes.

Abstract
Spent malt rootlets, a by-product of the brewing industry, are a rich source of protein, essential amino acids, healthy fats, polyphenols and minerals, and could be a new promising type of raw material from the nutritional, economic, sensory, and technical perspectives. However, their specific aroma profile could limit their addition in baked products. The aim of this work was to study the effect of spent malt rootlets addition on volatile derivatives of enriched biscuits in relation to their sensory profile. For this purpose, spent malt rootlets and enriched biscuits (0-25% spent malt rootlets added) were analyzed by GC-MS techniques, in order to obtain their fatty acids methyl esters and volatile compounds profile, while for the sensory analysis a nine-point hedonic score test was used. The results of this study reveal the fatty acids and volatile profile of spent malt rootlets and of the enriched biscuits with spent malt rootlets pointing out the contribution of fatty acids to the generation of aroma compounds. The influence of different aroma compounds on the consumer's preferences was studied and the optimum level addition of spent malt rootlets in multigrain biscuits was found to be 15%.

Abstract
The present research was aimed to (i) report the recycling of spent A. bisporus substrate (SAS) to remove heavy metals (Cd and Pb) and phenanthrene (Phe) from polluted water and (ii) assess the possibility to use the treated water for irrigation. Batch experiments were carried out to assess, firstly, the effect of interaction time between pollutants with SAS and, secondly, the pH of the polluted water. Then a biofilter was designed by using pressurized glass columns. Chemical parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity and content of Pb, Cd, Phe, nutrients (NPK) and Cl- were determined. Equilibrium for contaminants was quickly reached (1-2 h). The pH of the polluted water was the key factor for pollutants' adsorption. The polluted water's pH was increased after biofilter interaction. Phe was not detected in any fraction. Pb and Cd sorption rates were higher than 99%. The pollutant concentrations were within the permitted range to be used for agriculture purposes. Purified water showed significant concentrations of NPK, indicating its potential use as fertilizer. The SAS shows potential to be used as Phe, Pb and Cd biosorbent and the resulting treated water can be used for irrigation according to pollutant contents and agronomical evaluation.

Abstract
The natural (S0) and chemically modified Phanerochaete chrysosporium including the methylation of amino groups (S1), acetylation of hydroxyl groups (S2), lipid removal (S3), esterification of carboxyl groups (S4), and base hydrolysis (S5) were characterized, and their sorption for phenanthrene (PHE) was investigated. The sorption isotherm of PHE on natural biomasses was apparently linear, while it was nonlinear for the modified ones. The partition coefficient (K d ) describing the sorption affinity of PHE by biomasses followed the order of S0 (9.24 L g(-1)) > S5 (8.94 L g(-1)) > S1 (7.13 L g(-1)) > S2 (6.97 L g(-1)) > S3 (6.38 L g(-1)) > S4 (3.51 L g(-1)) and decreased as temperature increased. The PHE adsorption fitted well to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the sorption capacity was in the order of S5 (2041.5 μg g(-1)) > S0 (1768.8 μg g(-1)) > S2 (1570.9 μg g(-1)) > S1 (1552.9 μg g(-1)) > S3 (1346.4 μg g(-1)) > S4 (991.0 μg g(-1)). Moreover, the π-π and electron donor-acceptor interactions may govern PHE sorption which processed spontaneously and exothermally. The natural and modified biomasses, especially the base hydrolysis treated ones, were economical and effective biosorbents for PHE removal.

Abstract
We present results from experiments and atomistic molecular dynamics simulations on the remediation of naphthalene by polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers and graphene oxide (GrO). Specifically, we investigate 3rd-6th generation (G3-G6) PAMAM dendrimers and GrO with different levels of oxidation. The work is motivated by the potential applications of these emerging nanomaterials in removing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contaminants from water. Our experimental results indicate that GrO outperforms dendrimers in removing naphthalene from water. Molecular dynamics simulations suggest that the prominent factors driving naphthalene association to these seemingly disparate materials are similar. Interestingly, we find that cooperative interactions between the naphthalene molecules play a significant role in enhancing their association to the dendrimers and GrO. Our findings highlight that while selection of appropriate materials is important, the interactions between the contaminants themselves can also be important in governing the effectiveness of a given material. The combined use of experiments and molecular dynamics simulations allows us to comment on the possible factors resulting in better performance of GrO in removing polyaromatic contaminants from water.

Abstract
Specific organic pollutants (SOPs) such as phenolic compounds, PAHs, organic pesticides, and organic herbicides cause health and environmental problems due to their excessive toxic properties and poor biodegradability. Low-cost biosorbents are considered as a promising alternative for conventional adsorbents to remove SOPs from water. These materials have several advantages such as high sorption capacities, good modifiability and recoverability, insensitivity to toxic substances, simple operation in the treatment processes. However, previous reports on various types of biosorbents for removing SOPs are still moderately fragmented. Hence, this paper provides a comprehensive review on using typical low-cost biosorbents obtained from lignocellulose and chitin/chitosan for SOPs adsorption. Especially, their characteristics, biosorption mechanism together with utilization for eliminating SOPs are presented and discussed. The paper also gives a critical view regarding future applications of low-cost biosorbents in SOPs-contaminated water treatment.
