Microbial Approaches for Bioconversion of Agro-Industrial Wastes: A Review

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Strategies and Tools for Pollutant Mitigation

Abstract

The fact that high levels of agro-industrial pollution are produced due to the linear economy is well established. The circular economy is appropriate for meeting human requirements by converting excessively generated agro-industrial trash into various value-added products (VAP) such as bioenergy, biofuels, biopolymers, and bioactive. Because of its environmentally benign character, the microbial mediated transformation of agro-industrial waste has gained much interest in recent years. This chapter discusses microbial and their enzymatic ways for producing these bioproducts from agro-industrial food wastes as a long-term solution. Pretreatment technologies have been found in recent research to increase enzyme production several-fold. This chapter provides an overview of the agricultural waste utilized as source material, the extraction methods for obtaining VAPs from waste conversion. This chapter emphasizes the environmental benefits of waste utilization by minimizing the amount of garbage disposed of and increasing the generation of green fuels and other green materials; thus, the possibility of achieving a circular economy through environmentally friendly processes that engage agro-industrial wastes.
