Περίληψη:
Biomass is defined as organic matter from living organisms represented
in all kingdoms. It is recognized to be an excellent source of proteins,
polysaccharides and lipids and, as such, embodies a tailored feedstock
for new products and processes to apply in green industries. The
industrial processes focused on the valorization of terrestrial biomass
are well established, but marine sources still represent an untapped
resource. Oceans and seas occupy over 70% of the Earth’s surface and
are used intensively in worldwide economies through the fishery
industry, as logistical routes, for mining ores and exploitation of
fossil fuels, among others. All these activities produce waste. The
other source of unused biomass derives from the beach wrack or
washed-ashore organic material, especially in highly eutrophicated
marine ecosystems. The development of high-added-value products from
these side streams has been given priority in recent years due to the
detection of a broad range of biopolymers, multiple nutrients and
functional compounds that could find applications for human consumption
or use in livestock/pet food, pharmaceutical and other industries. This
review comprises a broad thematic approach in marine waste valorization,
addressing the main achievements in marine biotechnology for advancing
the circular economy, ranging from bioremediation applications for
pollution treatment to energy and valorization for biomedical
applications. It also includes a broad overview of the valorization of
side streams in three selected case study areas: Norway, Scotland, and
the Baltic Sea.
