Sustainable Pretreatment of Food Waste for Enhanced Bioethanol Production and Improved Waste Management: A Review

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
The graphical abstract illustrates the conversion of food waste biomass into bioethanol through integrated pretreatment strategies. Physical (mechanical, thermal, sonication), chemical (alkali, acidic, oxidative/ROS), and biological (fungal, bacterial, enzymatic) pretreatments enhance biomass breakdown.
