Protein Recovery Using Biodegradable Polymer

Abstract

Globally, with the consistent increment in population growth and urbanization, the demand for freshwater and food production is also increasing. Present conservation concerns about the limited availability of renewable resources and include disposal, recovery, and reuse for socioeconomic impact. The valuable resources include organic matter and essential nutrients, especially proteins, wasted in the wastewater stream. Developing efficient methodology using renewable and green technology is mandatory to recover valuable proteins and other nutrients with high production efficiency. In recent years, biodegradable polymers and the processes using biodegradable polymers are gaining wide attention from researchers. Such green processes/technologies are suitable for the recovery of proteins. Present short communication emphasizes the review of processes/technology using biodegradable polymer and the necessity for recovering or restoring valuable proteins from wastewater. © 2022 Scrivener Publishing LLC.
