- Resumen
Agro-industrial wastes, for example, such as canes, seeds, pulp, cane straw, and leaves, are the subject of numerous investigations. These residues are a low-cost source of a wide variety of secondary metabolites. Although agroindustrial wastes are a source of valuable components, few technologies can offer certainty regarding the recovery, purification, and concentration process of these biocompounds. Therefore, the use of certain microorganisms, resident in these wastes, can be a viable alternative to produce and recover substances of interest. In addition, this strategy allows reducing the environmental impact of agri-food waste. Therefore, this Doctoral Thesis aims to give value to waste streams and/or agro-industrial wastes, mainly from the food industry, as raw material to obtain products of interest in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical and/or agrochemical industry. Among the products of greatest scientific and industrial interest are biosurfactants as well as antimicrobial substances.
