Pretreatment and Bioconversion for Valorization of Residues of Non-Edible Oilseeds

Biodiesel production currently follows a first-generation model using edible oils as raw materials. Such is unsustainable, considering that it limited by the high cost of oils, competes with food sector, and linked to deforestation other environmental threats. Changing material base non-edible provides an opportunity increase sustainability biodiesel industry avoid conflicts production. Processing oilseeds for extracting oil be used producing generates large amounts residues, such de-oiled cakes, seed husks, fruit shells pods well plant stems leaves resulting from pruning agronomy practices. Most those residues are disposed burning or in suboptimal way. Bioconversion following sugar platform route, anaerobic digestion, enzyme means upgrading them advanced biofuels high-added value products. biomass, including oilseed requires pretreatment enhance their susceptibility enzymes microorganisms. This review outlook on bioconversion approaches applicable different oilseed-bearing species. Recent reports enhancing through either route digestion critically discussed. based exhaustive Web Science search performed January–May 2023.
