Description
Upcycling food scraps transforms residual nutrients into stocks, condiments, and biofuels through controlled heating and fermentation.
Technical
Enzymatic hydrolysis breaks down proteins and polysaccharides into peptides and sugars, which are then fermented by microbes into acids, esters, and alcohols. Simultaneous extraction of lipids and polyphenols occurs at 90–95 °C, yielding oils rich in caffeine and antioxidants.
