Solid-State Fermentation from Organic Wastes: A New Generation of Bioproducts

Solid-state fermentation (SSF) is part of the pathway to consolidate waste as a relevant alternative for valorization organic waste. The objective SSF produce one or several bioproducts added value from solid substrates. can use wide variety substrates thus, it an excellent candidate in framework circular bioeconomy change status feedstock. development was boosted previous decade by scientific efforts devoted production hydrolytic enzymes. Nowadays, has expanded other valuable products: biosurfactants, biopesticides, aromas, pigments, and bio-flocculants, among others. This review explores conditions obtain main emerging products highlight discuss challenges related scale-up these processes downstream, which hamper their further commercialization.
