Development of process technologies for the valorisation of fish and shellfish processing waste streams: Integration of sub and supercritical fluids with deep eutectic systems

Abstract

"The world’s strong dependency on fossil resources for energy generation and products manufacturing has arisen serious environmental problems and economic concerns. Therefore, the search for alternative solutions that enable an improvement of the quality of life of present and future generations, while sustaining the environment through the significant reduction of the exploitation and consumption of fossil fuels and the implementation of clean processing technologies, has become of the utmost importance. The path for a sustainable future lays, therefore, in the implementation of the biorefinery concept as a strategy for the establishment of a circular bioeconomy, aiming at producing a wide range of marketable products and energy, by using renewable biomass resources as feedstock.(...)"
