Increasingly, industries are striving to protect the environment while also maximizing economic returns. This shift in priorities has led to a new paradigm: one where value is extracted from what was once considered waste. In the case of agri-food waste, this shift is especially significant. Hidden within these by-products lies a treasure trove of valuable compounds, but how can we unlock it?<\/p>\n<h2>Valorization of Agri-food By-products: Functional ingredientes<\/h2>\n<p>Large volumes of by-products; such as bagasse, fruit pulps, or peels, and plant-based residues; such as straw, cereal husks, and pruning waste contain significant amounts of cellulose and lignin. However, they have traditionally been considered low-value materials and are often burned, contributing to environmental pollution. Through sustainable processing, this<strong> agri-food waste<\/strong> can be transformed into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ainia.com\/en\/industrial-production-of-food-ingredients\/\"><strong>high-value functional ingredients.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Selective Fat Removal: Key to Obtaining Healthy and Functional Ingredients<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"899\" data-end=\"1605\"><strong data-start=\"899\" data-end=\"924\">Selective fat removal<\/strong> is a strategic technology applied to plant-based matrices and food industry by-products aimed at developing functional food formulations. At AINIA, supercritical CO\u2082 is used to reduce fat content to levels below 1%, while preserving the extraction of natural lipid fractions without the use of organic solvents. This process allows for the creation of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ainia.com\/en\/technological-services\/industrial-production\/new-processes\/fat-removal-low-cal-sports-food\/\"><strong> low-fat food ingredients<\/strong><\/a> suitable for sports or dietetic products, maintaining protein structure and functionality, and eliminating unwanted odors without chemical residues.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1168\" data-end=\"1235\"><strong data-start=\"1172\" data-end=\"1235\">Plant-based By-products as a Source of Functional Compounds<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1677\" data-end=\"2196\">Several non-cellulosic fractions present in <strong data-start=\"1721\" data-end=\"1739\">agrifood waste <\/strong>such as pectins, polyphenols, soluble proteins, and polysaccharides, can be transformed into functional compounds for food and nutraceutical applications. The selective extraction of these bioactive components, followed by the purification of cellulose, leads to the production of ingredients enriched in antioxidants, soluble fiber, or bioactive peptides. Additionally, recovered lignin holds potential for use in antioxidant or antimicrobial formulations.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Biorefineries for Micro and Nanocellulose from Agro-Food Waste<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"191\" data-end=\"829\">When discussing the reuse of by-products and <strong data-start=\"236\" data-end=\"255\">agri-food waste<\/strong>, it is essential to highlight the role of biorefineries. The agri-food industry generates vast volumes of residues and by-products during food processing operations or agricultural activities. On the agricultural side, these include rice, barley, wheat, and oat straw; corn stalks; rice husks; nutshells and skins; pruning residues; and green waste from greenhouses, among others. These materials often hold little to no economic value\u2014at best, they are used for animal feed, and at worst, they are burned in an uncontrolled manner, contributing significantly to pollution.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"831\" data-end=\"1183\">Other processed residues, such as brewers\u2019 spent grain, citrus peels and pulp, sugar beet residues, and general fruit and vegetable waste, also represent a serious challenge for the processing industry. What all of these <strong data-start=\"1052\" data-end=\"1071\">agri-food waste<\/strong> materials share is a high lignocellulosic content\u2014that is, they are primarily composed of cellulose and lignin.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2192\" data-end=\"2247\"><strong data-start=\"2196\" data-end=\"2247\">How to Valorize Agro-Food Waste?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1228\" data-end=\"1684\">The key lies in the proper extraction of non-cellulosic components, mainly pectins, proteins, and other extracts, and\/or in the delignification of the raw material, depending on the chemical composition of each by-product. This is followed by the purification of the cellulose. On one hand, this allows for a high-purity cellulose to be obtained; on the other, it enables the recovery of lignin and other valuable compounds such as bioactives or polyphenols.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1686\" data-end=\"1856\">At AINIA, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ainia.com\/en\/technological-services\/industrial-production\/altex\/co2-supercritical-extraction-and-separation\/\"><strong>we are developing environmentally friendly extraction and purification processes<\/strong><\/a> tailored to the nature of each residue, ensuring no harmful waste is generated.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Micro and Nanocellulose: A Hidden Treasure of the Agro-Food Industry<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The term \u201cmicro and nanocellulose\u201d includes both microfibrillated cellulose (MNFC) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC). MNFC consists of long, flexible fibers with both amorphous and crystalline regions, while CNCs are shorter, rigid structures lacking the amorphous component.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-105653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ainia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Imagen5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"498\" height=\"258\"><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Figura 2.

At AINIA, we are developing new coatings based on modified MNFCs with enhanced hydrophobic properties and improved barriers to oxygen and fats.<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2608\" data-end=\"3082\">\n<li data-start=\"2608\" data-end=\"2807\">\n<p data-start=\"2610\" data-end=\"2807\"><strong data-start=\"2610\" data-end=\"2662\">Bulk application (on cellulose-based packaging):<\/strong> When applied to molded cellulose or paper packaging, MNFCs act as a reinforcing agent, improving the mechanical properties of the final product.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2809\" data-end=\"3082\">\n<p data-start=\"2811\" data-end=\"3082\"><strong data-start=\"2811\" data-end=\"2879\">Bulk or filler use (with other biopolymers such as PLA or PHAs):<\/strong> This helps improve the overall performance of final products and reduces the amount of raw material required\u2014not only for food packaging but also for biocomposites in a wide range of industrial sectors.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>MNFC as a Biodegradable Coating for Microcapsules<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"3144\" data-end=\"3393\">One of AINIA\u2019s goals is to identify natural alternatives to synthetic materials for microencapsulation. For this reason, we are using MNFC\u2014and, more broadly, micro and nanocellulose\u2014as biodegradable coating agents in the production of microcapsules.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"3400\" data-end=\"3478\"><strong>MNFC in Cosmetics: Moisturizing, Emulsifying, and Rheology-Modifying Agent<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"3480\" data-end=\"3776\">One of the unique properties of MNFC is its ability to form viscous gels even at low concentrations (1\u20133%) in aqueous suspensions. This makes it an excellent rheology modifier. Additionally, market opportunities in the cosmetics sector include its use as a hydrating agent and emulsifier.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3778\" data-end=\"3976\">This initiative is funded by <strong data-start=\"3807\" data-end=\"3816\">IVACE<\/strong> (Valencian Institute for Business Competitiveness) under its collaboration agreement with AINIA to support R&amp;D&amp;I activities with industrial transfer potential.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Circular and sustainable economy concepts have become deeply embedded in both our social mindset and industrial practices.
