From waste to value – direct utilization of limonene from orange peel in a biocatalytic cascade reaction towards chiral carvolactone
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this proof of concept study we demonstrate direct utilization of limonene containing waste product orange peel as starting material for a biocatalytic cascade reaction. The product of this cascade is chiral carvolactone, a promising building block for thermoplastic polymers. Four different concepts were applied to augment limonene availability based on either water extraction solely, addition of extraction enhancers or biomass dissolution.

Improvement of Biogas Production from Orange Peel Waste by Leaching of Limonene
Limonene is present in orange peel wastes and is known as an antimicrobial agent, which impedes biogas production when digesting the peels. In this work, pretreatment of the peels to remove limonene under mild condition was proposed by leaching of limonene using hexane as solvent. The pretreatments were carried out with homogenized or chopped orange peel at 20-40°C with orange peel waste and he...

Agricultural waste biomass generated from agricultural production and food processing industry are abundant, such as durian peel, mango peel, corn straw, rice bran, corn shell, potato peel and many more. Due to low commercial value, these wastes are disposed in landfill, which if not managed properly may cause environmental problems. Currently, environmental laws and regulations pertaining to ...
متن کاملAssessment of different pre-treatment methods for the removal of limonene in citrus waste and their effect on methane potential and methane production rate.
The objective of this study was to assess the limonene removal efficiency of three pre-treatment methods when applied to citrus waste and to evaluate their effects on the biochemical methane potential and the methane production rate using batch anaerobic tests. The methods tested were based on removal (biological pretreatment by fungi) or recovery (steam distillation and ethanol extraction) of ...
متن کاملThe Effects of Limonene and Orange Peel Extracts on Some Spoilage Fungi
Orange peel extract solution contains mucilage flavor and three types of glycosides. Limonene is one of the terpenoides in some vegetables, fruits and food; that plays as an antioxidant in juice. As it has anti-microorganism effects on some bacteria, we carried out the antifungal effects of limonene versus orange extract. In the present study the effects of orange extract and two types of limon...
