Recent advances in valorization of agro-waste: a step towards sustainable development

Abstract

Excessive wastes from the agricultural sector, which are typically discarded, endanger global health and food safety. The production of these biomolecules has been the subject of a great deal of research as of late as a direct result of the potential significance of agro-residues in industries like the chemical industry, agriculture, the food processing industry, and the pharmaceutical industry for the development of novel human products. This article presents a discussion on the numerous categories of agro-waste and the industrial uses for each. Within the scope of this assessment, we also reviewed the most recent advancements made in the field of agro-residue-based applications. Furthermore, this review looks at the future prospects for enhancing and improving bioconversion technology in order to convert agricultural waste into high-value products. The biorefinery industry, which seeks to recycle agricultural waste into valuable products, relies heavily on this manuscript.
