    Lignocellulose in future biorefineries: strategies for cost-effective production of biomaterials and bioenergy
    (Elsevier, 2021-10-28) Reshmy, R.; Philip, Eapen; Madhavan, Aravind; Sirohi, Ranjna; Pugazhendhi, Arivalagan; Binod, Parameswaran; Awasthi, Mukesh Kumar; Vivek, Narisetty; Kumar, Vinod; Sindhu, Raveendran
    Lignocellulosic biomass has been emerging as a biorefinery precursor for variety of biofuels, platform chemicals and biomaterials because of its specific surface morphology, exceptional physical, chemical and biological characteristics. The selection of proper raw materials, integration of nano biotechnological aspects, and designing of viable processes are important to attain a cost-effective route for the development of valuable end products. Lignocellulose-based materials can prove to be outstanding in terms of techno-economic viability, as well as being environmentally friendly and reducing effluent load. This review should facilitate the identification of better lignocellulosic sources, advanced pretreatments, and production of value-added products in order to boost the future industries in a cleaner and safer way.

    Myco-biorefinery approaches for food waste valorization: Present status and future prospects
    (Elsevier, 2022-07-09) Awasthi, Mukesh Kumar; Harirchi, Sharareh; Sar, Taner; VS, Vigneswaran; Rajendran, Karthik; Gómez-García, Ricardo; Hellwig, Coralie; Binod, Parameswaran; Sindhu, Raveendran; Madhavan, Aravind; Kumar, A.N.

    Increases in population and urbanization leads to generation of a large amount of food waste (FW) and its effective waste management is a major concern. But putrescible nature and high moisture content is a major limiting factor for cost effective FW valorization. Bioconversion of FW for the production of value added products is an eco-friendly and economically viable strategy for addressing these issues. Targeting on production of multiple products will solve these issues to greater extent. This article provides an overview of bioconversion of FW to different value added products.
