Cutin from agro-waste as a raw material for the production of bioplastics
Open accessAbstract
Cutin is the main component of plant cuticles constituting the framework that supports the rest of the cuticle components. This biopolymer is composed of esterified bi- and trifunctional fatty acids. Despite its ubiquity in terrestrial plants, it has been underutilized as raw material due to its insolubility and lack of melting point. However, in recent years, a few technologies have been developed to obtain cutin monomers from several agro-wastes at an industrial scale. This review is focused on the description of cutin properties, biodegradability, chemical composition, processability, abundance, and the state of art of the fabrication of cutin-based materials in order to evaluate whether this biopolymer can be considered a source for the production of renewable materials.

Approximately 250 million tons of inedible plant waste from different crop processing methods were generated as agricultural waste.
“According to a report by the FAO [59], approximately 250 million tons of inedible plant waste from different crop processing methods were generated as agricultural waste [60]”

The Introduction states that non-edible plant waste from crops amounts to approximately 250 million tons per year, calculated from FAO data. It does not say that this entire amount was generated by crop-processing methods; the later discussion of tomato-processing waste does not establish that qualifier for the estimate. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe plentiful chemical composition of agricultural waste allows it to be a versatile candidate with the potential to synthesize a variety of products, such as bioplastics.
“Additionally, the plentiful chemical composition of agri-cultural waste allows it to be a versatile candidate with the potential to synthesize a variety of products, such as bioplastics from plant parts, including leaves, stems, and the outer cuticle of flowers [60].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
