Upcycling Fruit Waste through a Bioreactor

If global food shortage is inevitable due to global recession, man-made calamity, and global warming, we need to find an alternative food source fast to feed both humans and livestock and crops. If necessity is the mother of invention, then why not give Bioreactors a chance to upcycle fruit and food waste to turn it into an edible food source for humans and animals? The remains can be processed into crop fertilizers.

ABSTRACT

Fruit waste and leftovers are like wastewater, they can be treated to give another life to it, through Bioprocessing using Bioreactor and other needed equipment. This procedure can improve the edibility, and shelf life of food by preventing the growth of unwanted toxin-producing microorganisms naturally present in foods, and the production of antimicrobial agents to kill undesirable putrefactive microorganisms. As such, fruit waste from processing plants can be converted into commercially viable edible food products.

This abstract discusses the potential of bioprocessing for upcycling fruit waste and factory leftovers into viable edible food. The food industry generates a large amount of waste, including fruit waste and factory leftovers, which often end up in landfills and contribute to environmental problems. Bioprocessing offers a sustainable solution for converting these waste streams into value-added food products, such as fruit juice, puree, snacks, and jams. Through various bioprocessing techniques, including fermentation, extraction, and drying, fruit waste and factory leftovers can be transformed into nutritious and delicious food products. Bioprocessing also offers the opportunity to reduce food waste, improve food security, and create new economic opportunities for the food industry. Moreover, the development of bioprocessing technologies for upcycling fruit waste and factory leftovers can lead to the creation of new technologies that can be applied to other waste streams in the food industry, contributing to the development of a more circular economy. Overall, bioprocessing offers an innovative and sustainable approach to upcycling fruit waste and factory leftovers into viable edible food products, with significant economic, environmental, and social benefits.

PROBLEM

  1. How to utilize solids from centrifuge?
  2. How to put value to fruit waste and leftovers from processing plants and marketplace?
  3. How to make use of fibers and peeled parts of fruits like fruit skins?

SOLUTIONS

Suggest to initially establish an R&D facility processing plant using Bioreactor and other recommended food processing machines that can develop any or some of the recommended processed food and supplements out of fruit waste in collaboration with an expert on such. Note: Aside from the machines, there is also a need for a professional who will initially handle and train potential predecessors.

BASIC DEFINITION

Biological engineering or bioengineering is the application of principles of biology and the tools of engineering to create usable, tangible, economically-viable products. Biological engineering employs knowledge and expertise from several pure and applied sciences, such as mass and heat transfer, kinetics, biocatalysts, biomechanics, bioinformatics, separation and purification processes, bioreactor design, surface science, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, polymer science…

TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY

Creating edible food out of fruit waste through Bio-processing using Bioreactor and other related food processing machines

  1. Introduction

The global fruit juice industry generates significant amounts of fruit waste which poses economic and environmental challenges. Fruit waste represents a missed opportunity to create value-added products, and the disposal of this waste contributes to environmental pollution. One potential solution to these challenges is… (click below link to continue reading)

UNIQUE FACETS

Bioprocessing using a bioreactor is a promising technology that can convert fruit waste into edible food. Here are some unique facets to consider when creating edible food out of fruit waste through bioprocessing using a bioreactor:

  1. Type of Fruit Waste: 
  2. Leftovers from Bromelain processing

There are several possible edible food outputs that can be obtained through bioprocessing of leftovers from bromelain processing. The specific output will depend on the bioprocessing method used and the desired product. Some possible examples of edible food outputs include:

  • Protein hydrolysates: Enzymatic hydrolysis can be used to break down the protein in the leftovers into smaller peptides and amino acids, which can be used as a protein source in food products.

Protein hydrolysates obtained from the bioprocessing of leftovers from bromelain processing can be used as a protein source in various food products. One example of an edible food that can be made from protein hydrolysates is protein bars.

Protein bars are a popular snack that is often consumed by athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and people who want a quick and convenient source of protein. Protein bars can be made with different types of protein sources, such as whey protein, soy protein, or casein protein. Protein hydrolysates obtained from the bioprocessing of leftovers from bromelain processing can also be used as a protein source in protein bars.

Effectiveness in Addressing the Challenges

Bioprocessing methods are effective in addressing the challenges of upcycling fruit waste to an edible food. Here are some of the challenges that bioprocessing methods can help to overcome:

  1. Enzymatic degradation: Fruit waste can rapidly degrade due to the activity of enzymes present in the fruit. Bioprocessing methods can help to control the enzymatic degradation by using microbial enzymes to break down the fruit waste into useful products.
  1. Microbial contamination: Fruit waste can be contaminated with harmful microbes, such as bacteria and fungi, that can cause spoilage or foodborne illness. Bioprocessing methods can help to control microbial contamination by using specific microbial strains that can outcompete harmful microbes and produce desired end products…
