Scientific paper: Protein recovery from animal by-product wastewater rich in protein for application as biostimulant in agriculture.

A scientific paper related to the Life Superbiodiesel project was approved in September 2024, named “Protein recovery from animal by-product wastewater rich in protein for application as biostimulant in agriculture.”

This paper introduces a novel and sustainable approach, using enzymatic hydrolysis, to recover high-value protein from animal by-product wastewater. It has demonstrated to reduce the dependence on synthetic fertilisers suitable for biostimulat applications.

The protein concentrated through this process are higher, improving the efficacy of enzymatic hydrolysis for protein recovery and its potential to enhance sustainable agricultural practices.

Additionally, by converting waste into valuable agricultural inputs, this approach supports the circular bioeconomy and aligns with environmental sustainability goals, offering a scalable solution to waste management challenges and providing a viable pathway for developing eco-friendly biostimulants.

These results are available in the subscription-based scientific journal “Water Process Engineering” that, as the name suggests, focuses on sustainable engineering of water and wastewater treatment process. It is available through this DOI (Digital Object Identifier). It can be free downloaded until the end of October 2024.
