RESUMEN
Dependence on fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas are on alarming increase, thereby causing such resources to be in a depletion mode and a novel sustainable approach for bioenergy production are in demand. Successful implementation of zero waste discharge policy is one such way to attain a sustainable development of bioenergy. Zero waste discharge can be induced only through the conversion of organic wastes into bioenergy. Waste management is pivotal and considering its importance of minimizing the issue and menace of wastes, conversion strategy of organic waste is effectively recommended. Present review is concentrated on providing a keen view on the potential organic waste sources and the way in which the bioenergy is produced through efficient conversion processes. Biogas, bioethanol, biocoal, biohydrogen and biodiesel are the principal renewable energy sources. Different types of organic wastes used for bioenergy generation and its sources, anaerobic digestion-biogas production and its related process affecting parameters including fermentation, photosynthetic process and novel nano-inspired techniques are discussed. Bioenergy production from organic waste is associated with mitigation of lump waste generation and its dumping into land, specifically reducing all hazards and negativities in all sectors during waste disposal. A sustainable bioenergy sector with upgraded security for fuels, tackles the challenging climatic change problem also. Thus, intensification of organic waste conversion strategies to bioenergy, specially, biogas and biohydrogen production is elaborated and analyzed in the present article. Predominantly, persistent drawbacks of the existing organic waste conversion methods have been noted, providing consideration to economic, environmental and social development.

Wide sustainability and reusability of biomacromolecules such as carbohydrates and proteins-based biopolymers pave the way for providing maximal importance in the field of generating biopolymeric nanoparticles. As compared to synthetic nanomaterials, carbohydrate and protein based biopolymeric nanomaterials offer unique advantages that include antibacterial, biocompatible, immunogenicity, and biodegradable properties. Additionally, they have the significant property of more size distribution. Carbohydrate nanoparticles are primarily derived from the polysaccharide biopolymers such as alginate and chitosan; and protein nanoparticles are made from the diverse peptide biopolymers such as albumin, keratin, sericin, fibroin, gelatin and collagen. Advanced methods such as emulsification, desolvation, electrohydrodynamic atomization and coacervation are employed for the controlled fabrication of green biomacromolecules based nanoparticles. Suitability of biopolymeric nanoparticles in plethora of biotechnological applications are quite feasible with the advent of advanced technologies such as dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and UV visible spectroscopy etc. Applications of such biomacromolecules nanoparticles are highly prevalent in agriculture, food, and biomedical industries. Thus, contributions of biopolymeric nanoparticles derived from carbohydrates and proteins biomacromolecules and their recent trends of patents granted in the biotechnological applications are critically discussed along with a promising future scope.
