Abstract

This article presents the research profile of Kola Saheed Olorunnisola in connection with the Innovative Research Award. His work explores the conversion of agricultural and fruit wastes into useful products, such as jam from watermelon waste [2], fungal biomass grown on fruit peels [3], and enzyme-assisted protein production [5]. His Scopus record shows 702 citations across six documents [1].

Keywords

Fruit waste valorization, banana peels, white rot fungi, submerged bioconversion, cellulolytic enzymes, watermelon waste, food processing, deep eutectic solvents.

Introduction

Fruit and agricultural residues are produced in large quantities and are often discarded, even though they contain carbohydrates, fibers and other compounds of potential value. Research on bio-valorization examines how such residues can be converted into food ingredients, enzymes and microbial biomass. Olorunnisola’s publications contribute to this field through experimental studies and a review of the potential of banana peels [4].

Research Profile

Olorunnisola is affiliated with Al-Hikmah University in Ilorin, Nigeria, and his subject area is agricultural and biological sciences. His Scopus Author ID is 55499151300. The profile lists six documents, 702 citations and an h-index of 4 [1]. His publications are mainly co-authored and cover the following themes:

  • Utilization of fruit peels and wastes as substrates
  • Microbial and enzymatic bioconversion
  • Food product development from by-products

Research Contributions

A study on watermelon waste described effective methods for preparing jam from material that is normally discarded, offering a practical route to food-grade products [2]. Another study investigated the use of fruit peels as a carbon source for the biomass production of white rot fungi under submerged-state bioconversion [3].

His co-authored overview of banana peels (Musa sapientum) summarizes their bio-valorization potential [4], and a further study examined cellulolytic fruit wastes as a support for enzyme-assisted protein production [5].
