abstract = "In Serbia, agricultural waste is still an underutilized resource. Recently, a trend of
harvest residues open burning in the fields has been observed, resulting in heavy air
pollution and posing risk to human and ecological health. Therefore, a consistent set of
interdisciplinary investigations under the title “Value-Added Products from Maize, Wheat
and Sunflower Waste as Raw Materials for Pharmaceutical and Food Industry”
(PhAgroWaste) has been designed, with the aim to investigate and propose a cost-effective
and sustainable agricultural waste management practice, where micro- and nanocrystalline
cellulose (MCC/NCC) and the other products of high commercial value and biological activity
(waxes, polyphenol-containing extracts and/or isolated chemical compounds) will be
produced from harvest residues of corn, wheat and sunflower. MCC is one of the most
frequently used excipients in formulations of different pharmaceutical products. On the
other hand, NCC finds applications in tissue engineering, 3D-bioprinting, waste water
treatment, development of composite materials, drug delivery, etc. MCC and polyphenol-rich
extracts produced from agricultural waste will be added to innovative formulations of meat
products to gain higher oxidative stability, extend shelf life, improve fatty acid composition
and increase fibres content. Waxes and polyphenol-rich extracts will be tested in new
formulations of nature-inspired cosmetics. This way, high value-added products can be
created, with intention to improve the quality of life of their consumers, to reduce waste in
the production chain, to limit environmental impacts of intensive agriculture and to improve
competitiveness and economic growth in Serbian food and pharmaceutical industry., Poljoprivredni otpad je, u Srbiji, još uvek nedovoljno iskorišćen resurs, koji se
uglavnom spaljuje na poljima ili baca - doprinoseći velikom zagađenju vazduha, ugrožavajući
zdravlje stanovništva i narušavajući uslove životne sredine. Zbog toga je osmišljen
konzistentan set interdisciplinarnih istraživanja pod nazivom „Value-Added Products from
Maize, Wheat and Sunflower Waste as Raw Materials for Pharmaceutical and Food Industry“
(PhAgroWaste), sa ciljem da ispita i predloži održivu praksu upravljanja poljoprivrednim
otpadom u kojoj bi žetveni ostaci pšenice, kukuruza i suncokreta bili sirovina za proizvodnju
različitih materijala za primenu u farmaceutskoj industriji, sa visokom komercijalnom
vrednošću i važnim biološkim aktivnostima (mikro- i nanokristalna celuloza - MCC/NCC,
voskovi, ekstrakti bogati polifenolima, izolovana hemijska jedinjenja itd.). MCC je jedan od
najčešće korišćenih ekscipijenasa u formulacijama različitih farmaceutskih proizvoda. S
druge strane, NCC nalazi primenu u inženjeringu tkiva, 3D-bioprintingu, tretmanu otpadnih
voda, razvoju kompozitnih materijala, isporuci lekova, itd. MCC i ekstrakti bogati
polifenolima proizvedeni iz poljoprivrednog otpada ć e biti inkorporirani u inovativne
formulacije mesnih proizvoda sa povećanom oksidativnom stabilnošć u, dužim rokom
trajanja, poboljšanim sastavom masnih kiselina i poveć anim sadržajem vlakana. Voskovi i
polifenolima bogati ekstrakti će biti testirani u formulaciji novih kozmetičkih proizvoda
inspirisanih prirodom. Na ovaj način, mogu se proizvesti materijali sa visokom dodatnom
vrednošć u, u cilju poboljšanja kvaliteta života njihovih korisnika, smanjenja generisanja
otpada u proizvodnom lancu, ograničenja uticaja intenzivne poljoprivrede na životnu
sredinu i unapređenja konkurentnosti i privrednog rasta srpske prehrambene i
farmaceutske industrije.",
