Abstract

Processing and selection of fruits and vegetables generate high quantities of wastes that represent an economic and environmental issue for the agroindustry sector. According to the so-called “biorefinery” approach, this biomass can be exploited for the recovery of value-added molecules. In this study, the residues of industrial processing of tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum variety “Hybrid Rome”), fennel ( Foeniculum vulgare ), potato ( Solanum tuberosum ) and carrot ( Daucus carota ) were used as sole carbon sources to support cheap and sustainable microbial growth as well as the production of secondary metabolites (hydrogen and ethanol) by Thermoanaerobacterium thermostercoris strain BUFF, a thermophilic anaerobic microorganism isolated from buffalo-dung compost. Moreover, the use of hemicellulolytic enzymes of T. thermostercoris was assayed in the bioconversion reaction of the polymer fraction extracted from the rhizome of giant reed ( Arundo donax ) and of the leaves and stems of cardoon ( Cynara cardunculus ), dedicated non-food crops employed in energy supply.
