Utilization of coffee residues
View/
Abstract
The parallel growth in population and human needs has increased the waste discarded in
landfills. When the organic waste decomposed by anaerobic digestion, produces methane
(Molino et al., 2013), which is a powerful greenhouse gas (Boucher et al. 2009). Coffee is
one of the most popular beverages in the world and it is a product which most of its biomass
cannot be consumed and discarded. The disposal of some parts of the coffee's biomass begins
during the plant's processing phase and before the finished product is produced. However,
even after the use of the coffee beans for the production of the beverage, most of the coffee
mass is discarded as waste. The following dissertation describes the various ways in which
the coffee waste can be reused. It is also mentioned which substances can be extracted from
the coffee residue, in which ways these substances could be collected as well as their potential
use. A coffee residue composition analysis has also been performed. Finally, the best options
for using the waste have listed and analyzed.
