Накратко на български

Отпадъците от индустрията за водорасли се преработват чрез зелени технологии в полезни вещества като протеини, целулоза и полифеноли. Това помага за създаването на биоматериали за хранително-козметичната индустрия и намалява емисиите на въглероден диоксид.

Sustainable Valorization Of The Algae Industry Waste-Stream Within An Advanced Clean Technologies-Based Integrated Biorefinery Concept

The objective of the ALGWAS-BIOR project is to demonstrate the feasibility of transforming the food industry waste stream into high-value biobased products by utilizing the concept of biorefining based on emerging green technologies. The project is designed to promote green processes in sustainable food processing by reusing and valorizing the waste stream into value-added, marketable products. It aims to enhance the sustainability of integrated cascade biorefineries. The ALGWAS-BIOR project proposes to implement efficient and sustainable processes for large-scale production of bioactive molecules for a wide range of applications, including food ingredients, biobased materials, food packaging, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and the chemical industry. It also aims to investigate and optimize the relationship between operating procedures and the structure, functionalities, and mechanisms related to the industrial waste stream´s hydrolysis, bioconversion, and catalytic nanosizing of the Subcritical water, also known as pressurized hot water, was the principal green technology used in the design of the biorefining process. This technology was supplemented with other technologies, including ultrasounds, high-pressure homogenization, high-pressure microfluidization, and green nanotechnologies. The targeted bioproducts, including agar, polyphenols, proteins, cellulose, and nanocelluloses, were efficiently obtained through a cascade integrated green processing supported by sustainable technology and green chemistry. By valorizing these bioproducts present in the food industry waste stream, which have the advantage of being biologically active molecules, the project significantly contributes to reducing total CO2 emissions in the food manufacturing and supply chain.

Цел на проекта

The management of the growing amount of food waste is considered as an urgent environmental and economic burden by the European Commission. In response to this challenge, the Algwas-Bior Project proposes an integrated Biorefinery technology, focusing on the valorization of the waste stream released from the algae industry following agar extraction Gelidium sesquipedale. The hydrocolloid-centric extraction of this seaweed generates a large quantity of waste rich in organic materials and biologically active compounds. In Europe, a modest focus has been accorded so far to the industrial valorization of these compounds, particularly for the development of value-added food additives, pharmaceutical ingredients, and health-promoting products. The cascade technology will be a versatile solution adaptable to a wide range of food industry waste-stream valorization, thus, moving up the waste hierarchy through coupling the biomass and production sector in a solid circular Bioeconomy. The methodology combines high-quality process performance data generation supported by automated data acquisition and process control systems along with cutting edge analytical methods. The interdisciplinary concept mostly based on supercritical and subcritical fluids technologies, expanded to modern, clean technologies will be subjected to pilot-scale testing and process validation using the facilities of Hiperbaric as a secondment. The proposal will deliver state-of-the-art training to the researcher in these technologies within a three-way transfer of knowledge with the host institution and industrial partners. The results will lead to the development of commercialisable process that will reinforce the competitiveness of the food industry and will contribute to the strategy of the European Union to build a strong circular and bio-economy leading to the creation of viable green job opportunities.
