Abstract

The fruit processing industry generates enormous amounts of byproducts, which are primarily removed through landfill or incineration. However, these processes cause carbon dioxide and methane emissions and release dioxin into the environment. The management of fruit processing byproducts is important for reducing the amount of food waste that is sent to landfills and for developing strategies through the reuse of these products for valorization and economic added value. Fruit processing byproducts are rich sources of bioactive compounds and fermentable and nonfermentable sugars. Therefore, these materials are very attractive feedstocks for developing integrated multifeed biorefineries that coproduce a wide range of natural products and bioenergy. The studies presented here have shown sustainable strategies for managing fruit processing byproducts via a biorefinery approach to achieve full valorization via a circular economy. The full valorization project proposed five main phases, namely, pretreatment, extraction, dark or aerobic fermentation, anaerobic digestion, and post-treatment, as well as two additional pathways to generate additional bioelectricity. When choosing the appropriate directions for the presented concept, a technoeconomic analysis should be carried out, considering the type of biomass and its availability at the site of the biorefinery and throughout the year of production. Applying the proposed concept of biorefineries in closed-loop technology is a promising way to enhance economic efficiency and decrease environmental influence in accordance with sustainable development.
