Project summary<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

One of the main challenges of the agro-food industry sustainable waste management by \u201czero-waste\u201d model is the application of the circular management strategy, including development of innovative waste transformation techniques. Agro-food waste transformation into carriers for enzyme immobilization clearly represent one of such techniques, while replacement of chemical catalysts with immobilized enzymes might solve the issues of energy efficiency and environmental acceptability. On the other hand, process economic cost-effectiveness is highly dependent on the immobilized enzyme price. Whether the agro-food waste transformation could result with cost effective enzyme carriers for lipase immobilization, and subsequent development of immobilised lipases of desirable operational properties for use in the biocatalytic production, is the question this project aiming to answer. In this respect, carriers of desirable operational properties and high immobilization capacity will be prepared from selected waste: eggshells, spent coffee grounds and brown onion skin followed by subsequent immobilization of Pseudomonas fluorescens<\/em> and Burkholderia cepacia<\/em> lipases using various immobilization techniques. Biochemical and operational properties of free and immobilized lipases will be used for the selection of developed immobilized lipases of the greatest efficiency, which will be tested for operational functionality in the selected reactions of acidolysis, hydrolysis and transesterification. The final proof will be confirmed by industrial scale techno-economic analysis simulation, as well as life cycle analysis.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Scientific contribution of the project<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

The expected effects of the research, as well as the ultimate goal of the project, i.e. the development of heterogeneous biocatalysts based on waste from the agro-food industry will certainly have a significant impact and contribution in the field of lipase immobilization and waste recovery research. Agro-industrial waste\/by-products are widely available and inexpensive, and their implementation in the preparation of heterogeneous biocatalysts phase would have multiple positive impacts: reducing the environmental burden and lowering the cost of the enzyme immobilization phase, which would ultimately reduce price of the finished product. In addition, the added value is created by waste\/by-products of the agro-food industry, which is the basis of circular management. Furthermore, immobilized lipases open up the possibility of developing new production technologies, such as over the transition from batch to continuous processes. Lipases immobilized on functional carriers based on waste of the agro-food industry represent a technological and economic improvement of bio-catalytic production that will enable sustainable production based on a circular economy and approaching the \u201ezero-waste\u201c model.<\/p>\n<\/div>
