Article Abstract

The effective utilization of food waste is beneficial for valuable chemicals production, green development, ecological protection and circular bioeconomy. Biological manufacturing is deemed to be more conducive than chemical processing for the development of circular economy. The food waste bioconversion exhibits great potential to generate polyhydroxyalkanoates and reduce pollution. With the development of bioengineering, microbial chassis cells are employed to produce polyhydroxyalkanoates. However, additional deep investigation in microbial strategies for polyhydroxyalkanoates production from food waste is urgently required. In this paper, the microbial strategies including metabolic engineering and synthetic biology for polyhydroxyalkanoates production from food waste were highlighted. At last, the application prospect of polyhydroxyalkanoates was introduced in circular bio-economy.

Agricultural supply chains face significant challenges in achieving food security and sustainability, particularly due to climate change and waste production. Effectively managing these supply chains, especially in the context of uncertainties, is crucial for optimizing resource use and minimizing waste. This research develops a multi-objective optimization for designing a sustainable and responsive closed-loop agricultural supply chain network, focusing on jujube products under uncertain conditions.

This study investigates the extraction, optimization, and characterization of pectin from pistachio industry waste (PIW) using microwave-assisted subcritical water extraction (MASWE) without acid. Two different low-methoxyl pectins (LMP) were observed. The first pectin variant (MASWE100) was extracted at a pressure of 3 MPa, a temperature of 100 °C, and an irradiation time of 4 min.

Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is the most extensively used brominated flame retardant worldwide, primarily employed reactively in printed circuit boards and additively in plastic housings of electronic equipment. This study systematically evaluates human exposure to TBBPA from electronic devices and characterizes associated risks. A targeted literature review of 55 peer-reviewed studies published over the past 25 years was conducted, focusing on global TBBPA occurrence in environmental media, occupational and residential settings, and biological matrices.
