Extraction of Value-Added Products from Food Processing Waste Using Dimethyl Ether
Poster for 2024 Intern Poster Session. Food production waste can be valorized to create a circular economy. Traditional extraction methods require pretreatment of the sample through heating or cell disruption, but this contributes to a majority of the process's energy usage for wet biomass. Using dimethyl ether extraction can combine the dewatering and extraction processes into one to skip the pretreatment step while still maintaining similar extraction rates.
