Description

This edition of the Industrial Bioprocessing TOE covers conversion of mango waste into an environment friendly vegan leather, development of sustainable mango based bio-plastics used in food packaging applications, use of enzyme- based fermentation for treatment of waste sludge, generation of high-quality biogas in the paper & pulp industry, use of photo bioreactor processes for converting carbon dioxide emissions into algae for high-end applications. The TOE also focuses on a micro-oxygenation technology for accelerating the process of winemaking, a process for manufacturing nutraceuticals, and development of semiconductor photo-anodes used in electrolysis for clean hydrogen generation. The TOE additionally provides insights on development of saturated amino-acid films for removal of perfluoroalkyl substances from drinking water, and the development of hydroplastic polymers with high tensile strength for use in the packaging and electronics industries.

The Industrial Bioprocessing TOE provides intelligence on technologies, processes and strategic insights of industries involving bioprocessing, including innovations in the development and production of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, alternative fuels, chemical feedstocks, food and beverages, and consumer products.

Keywords: Supercritical solvent impregnation, sustainable packaging, enzyme-based fermentation, waste sludge treatment, nutraceuticals, microalgae production, micro-oxygenation technology, photo-anodes, perfluoroalkyl substances, cellulose cinnamate polymers, hydroplastic polymers
