water, and energy resources2. Among the three major macronutrients, the predicted demand for proteins has sparked a range of concerns, most notably whether its supply
Today most of the developed countries use staples such as corn, sugar beet, soybean, rapeseed, and wheat in order to obtain energy. Moreover, bioethanol is mostly produced from sugarcane and corn and biodiesel from oilseed plants. Therefore, these produced raw materials compete with food and ...
Global demand for food is expected to nearly double by 2050. Alternative proteins (AP) have been proposed as a sustainable solution to provide food security as natural resources become more depleted. However, the growth and consumer intake of AP remains limited. This review aims to better underst...
Current research in industrial microbiology and biotechnology focuses on the production of biodegradable microbial polymers as an environmentally friendly alternative to the still dominant fossil hydrocarbon-based plastics. Bacterial cellulose (BC) is im
The first generation of bio-based polymers focused on deriving polymers from agricultural feedstocks such as corn, potatoes, and other carbohydrate feedstocks. However, the focus has shifted in recent years due to a desire to move away from food-based resources and significant breakthroughs in biotec...
The above procedure of chemical preparation results in high economic and logistical benefits as compared to plant-derived biodiesel derived from terrestrial crops such as soybean and corn. It is also possible to produce biodiesel from algae farmed in ponds on a very large scale when compared with ...
Soybeans are today one of the main and important sources of proteins (40–42%) and vegetable oil (18–22%) used in human food [31]. Soybean ranks second in legumes cultivated after peanuts; however, as with many other crops [31,32], its yield is limited in sub-Saharan Africa by ...
Since irrigation is essential for plant cultivation, the WF of biomass such as sugarcane, maize, and soybean is significantly higher than that of fossil energy, and substantially varies by biomass type and region. For example, two biodiesel feedstocks—soybean and rapeseed—have obviously different ...
Prices for hybrid corn and sunflower have increased even more. In 2005, a ton of hybrid corn cost USD 2192; in 2020, it cost USD 4496, or 2.1 times more. In 2005, hybrid sunflower cost USD 6161; in 2020, it cost USD 10,703, or 1.7 times more (Figure 5). The increase in the...
