Waste lipids

In other areas of the world, waste from the sugar industry (molasses), starch, waste lipids, alcohols such as methanol (Bourque et al. 1995) and especially lignocellulosic feedstocks are available in quantities that are appropriate for industrial process demands. 

Waste lipids are available from a variety of sources waste cooking oil, different plant oils, lipids of MBM or waste water from olive oil and palm oil production. In all cases, the triacylglycerides can be directly utilized as a carbon source, or after hydrolysation to glycerol and fatty acids, or after transesterification towards biodiesel and glycerol. 

Several waste lipids of different origin can be applied as substrates for biotechnological processes such as PHA production ...

Waste lipids are available from a variety sources waste cooking oils, inedible plant oils, and wastewater from oil industries [87, 90]. The triglyceride can be directly used as a carbon source for isoprene production, or after hydrolyzation to glycerol and fatty acids, or even after transesterification with another alcohol to produce glycerol and biodiesel. 

Biodegradable films made from edible biopolymers from renewable sources could become an important factor in reducing the environmental impact of plastic waste. Proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides are the main biopolymers employed to make edible films and coatings. Which of these components are present in different proportions and determine the properties of the material, as a barrier to water vapor, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and lipid transfer in food systems (Gomez-Guillen et al. 2002 and 2009). 

The sinusoids transport both portal and arterial blood to the hepatocytes. The systemic blood delivered to the liver contains nutrients, drugs, and ingested toxins. The liver processes the nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins, and minerals) for either immediate use or for storage, while the drugs and toxins are metabolized through a variety of processes known as first-pass metabolism. The liver also processes metabolic waste products for excretion. In cirrhosis, bilirubin (from the enzymatic breakdown of heme) can accumulate this causes jaundice (yellowing of the skin), scleral icterus (yellowing of the sclera), and tea-colored urine (urinary bilirubin excretion). 

In tree bark from Luqiao of Taizhou (Fig. 1), the mean concentrations of PCDD/ Fs (List 4 of Appendix) and PCBs (List 8 of Appendix) were 0.1 and 6.5 pg/g lipid weight, respectively. Among all the target analytes, 2,3,4,7,8-PeCDF and PCB-126 were the dominant contributors to toxic equivalency (TEQ). The high levels of PCDD/Fs and PCBs in tree bark suggested the impact of e-waste recycling operations on the local environment [50].

In addition to the common pathways, glycolysis and the TCA cycle, the liver is involved with the pentose phosphate pathway regulation of blood glucose concentration via glycogen turnover and gluconeogenesis interconversion of monosaccharides lipid syntheses lipoprotein formation ketogenesis bile acid and bile salt formation phase I and phase II reactions for detoxification of waste compounds haem synthesis and degradation synthesis of non-essential amino acids and urea synthesis. 

As discussed in Section 2.3.3, the mechanism of chloroform-induced liver toxicity may involve metabolism to the reactive intermediate, phosgene, which binds to lipids and proteins of the endoplasmic reticulum, lipid peroxidation, or depletion of GSH by reactive intermediates. Because liver toxicity has been observed in humans exposed to chloroform levels as low as 2 ppm in the workplace and in several animal species after inhalation and oral exposure, it is possible that liver effects could occur in humans exposed to environmental levels, to levels in drinking water, or to levels found at hazardous waste sites.
