This book provides a collection of research and review articles useful for researchers, engineers, students and industry experts in the bioenergy field. The practical and valuable information can be utilized for developing and implementing renewable energy projects, selecting different waste feedstocks, technologies, and products. A detailed insight into advanced technologies such as hydrothermal liquefaction, torrefaction, and supercritical CO2 extraction for making sustainable biofuels and chemicals is provided. A case study on food waste-to-energy valorization processes in Latin America provides experts’ insights to promote a circular economy.

New trends in the cereal industry deal with the persistent need to develop new food goods tailored to consumer requirements and, in the near future, to the scarcity of food resources. Concepts of sustainable food production and food products as health and wellness promoters, the use of organic ingredients such as new ancient cereals to produce redesigned old staple foods, or the use of byproducts in designed food or feed formulations, in accordance with the bioeconomy and sustainability principles, are current topics that act as driving forces for innovation. The structure of cereal-based food products, especially in the case of gluten- or wheat-free foods, has proven to be a determinant for food appeal and strongly impacts consumer acceptance. It is well known that products with the same chemical composition can present very different structures, resulting in differently perceived texture and sensory properties and, therefore, rheology is an important tool for the food cereal industries. These are topics that act as driving forces for innovation and will be discussed in the present Special Issue.

Over the last few decades, the study of microbial biofilms has been gaining interest among the scientific community. These microbial communities comprise cells adhered to surfaces that are surrounded by a self-produced exopolymeric matrix that protects biofilm cells against different external stresses. Biofilms can have a negative impact on different sectors within society, namely in agriculture, food industries, and veterinary and human health. As a consequence of their metabolic state and matrix protection, biofilm cells are very difficult to tackle with antibiotics or chemical disinfectants. Due to this problem, recent advances in the development of antibiotic alternatives or complementary strategies to prevent or control biofilms have been reported. This book includes different strategies to prevent biofilm formation or to control biofilm development and includes full research articles, reviews, a communication, and a perspective.

Technology: general issues --- antibiofilm --- antimicrobial agent --- bacteria --- fungi --- polymicrobial biofilm --- microalga --- free fatty acids --- encapsulation --- biofilm --- chronic wounds --- host response --- S100A8/A9 --- dental plaque --- quorum sensing --- microbial resistance --- bacterial adhesion --- blocking effect --- hydrodynamics --- parallel plate flow cell --- carbon nanotubes --- poly(dimethylsiloxane) --- adhesion --- Escherichia coli --- Biofilm --- Public Engagement --- Outreach --- Control Strategies --- Oral Biofilm --- TiO2 nanofibers --- electrospinning --- biofilm prevention and control --- multidrug-resistant bacteria --- biomedical application --- biofilms --- biofilm inhibition --- dental implants --- peri-implantitis --- polyether-ether-ketone --- Pseudomonas aeruginosa --- Candida albicans --- mixed-species biofilm analysis --- flow cytometry --- bacteriophage therapy --- prosthesis related infections --- hardware infections --- left ventricular assist devices --- Acinetobacter baumannii --- antibiotic resistance --- antibiotic tolerance --- persister --- intraspecies community --- EPS matrix --- peptide nucleic acid-fluorescence in situ hybridization --- urinary tract infections --- catheter-associated urinary tract infections --- confocal laser scanning microscopy --- recalcitrance --- biofilm control --- Klebsiella pneumoniae --- KPC and OXA-48-like carbapenemases --- Galleria mellonella infection model --- linear oligoethyleneimine hydrochloride --- bacteriophage --- endotracheal tube --- n/a
