Top Skills Research: Title: Valorization of Biomass Waste for Medicinal Purposes.Description:The consumption of fossil fuels has an enormous negative effect on public health and the environment. Climate change and acid rain are visible examples of these negative environmental effects. Fossil fuels are not only consumed as a source of energy, but it is also a feedstock for the production of various medicines and pharmaceutical products. The reliance on this feedstock is not sustainable due to its finite nature, and its negative environmental impact classifies it as an undesirable component of any manufacturing, production, or synthetic procedure. It is of global importance that fossil fuels be replaced by alternative and renewable energy resources that could also be developed as feedstocks for many commodities and bio-products, such as medicines and pharmaceutical products.Lignocellulosic biomass is a perfect substance that could fulfill the role of a clean and environmentally friendly, feedstock that is also infinitely available. Examples of biomass include,* Wood biomass – wood shavings, sawdust and forestry residues.* Agricultural waste – rice straw, corn cob, corn straw, and sugarcane fiber* Sugar and starch, lignocellulosic material and wet biomass* Natural fiber waste such as hemp, flax, jute, and abaca* Energy crops such as fast-growing trees and switch grass* Aquatic biomass such as algae.Another biomass waste is substances originating from kitchens and gardens, with different forms ofwastepaper also contributing to the large amount of organic waste produced annually.Most of the ligno-cellulose-related developments done up to date are by the conversion of the cellulose component of biomass into biofuels such as bio-ethanol and the procedures applied during these actions include transesterification, gasification, pyrolysis, anaerobic digestion, and fermentation. The initial phase of these bio-conversion activities requires the cellulose component of biomass to be bio-converted into fermentable sugars such as glucose, a process mostly catalyzed by a hydrolytic enzyme known as cellulase. The cellulase used for the saccharification of lignocellulose comes from many fungal, bacterial, and plant origins and has been intensively researched, with the outcomes published widely in scientific literature by numerous scientists since 1970.A new value-added outcome of biomass waste that can benefit the medical sciences but has not yet been realized is the formation of renewable, sustainable, and biodegradable drug carriers. Firstly, will be the bioconversion of the lignocellulose component of biomass into lactic acid, which successively can be fermented into polylactic acid and finally be developed as a drug carrier system in association with co-polymers. Secondly is the preparation of nanocellulose from the lignocellulose section of biomass, which can also be developed as a drug carrier. Both polylactic acid and nanocellulose are non-toxic making them suitable materials to be introduced into a biological system. The third part of biomass waste development is the valorization of the medicinal value of phytochemicals in biomass waste. Obtaining information regarding this aspect would require the extraction of phytochemicals from biomass waste and determining its medicinal value in a biological system.Huge volumes of biomass waste, a major component of organic solid waste, are produced annually, which presents a significant management problem. Besides the land occupied by these discarded materials, its effect on the environment is also negative. An analysis of the biochemical composition of biomass waste revealed that it is a suitable resource that can be developed as a feedstock for producing biomaterials such as renewable drug carriers with the phytochemicals that can be valorized.Research Problem:The use of fossil fuels as an energy source and feedstock for the synthesis of medicines and pharmaceutical products, together with the accumulation of waste biomass, has detrimental effects on the environment. These effects can be limited by developing biomass waste as a resource of bioactive phytochemicals and renewable feedstock for drug carrier production.Scientific Publications: 1.
