MAPs, Residual biomass, Pharmaceuticals, Essential oils, bio-waste, Bio-energy.Abstract
The utilization of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) in agro-industrial processes generates a variety of wastes, including biomass from the distillation of aromatic plants and leftover components of medicinal plants. These biomasses have the potential to be recycled and turned into products with additional value hence they shouldn't be classified as trash. These wastes, especially the underutilized parts of medicinal plants and distillation byproducts, can be enhanced by processing, extraction, hydrolysis, pyrolysis, and fermentation. They are great resources for the extraction of phytochemicals that are useful in medicine, cosmetics, and fragrance, such as phenolic antioxidants. Additionally, the leftover biomass can be used as organic mulch or animal feed. They may also be converted into composts, charcoal, and bio-sorbents, which are effective ways to improve soil and purify wastewater. The use of these leftovers is examined in this article, ranging from industrial applications to technological development at the laboratory scale. Opportunities in the MAPs industry may be unlocked by effectively recycling the leftover biomass from MAPs, which also provides practical waste disposal options and financial advantages.
