Bioconversion of food processing wastes

Bioconversion of Waste Materials to Industrial Products

  • 673 Accesses

Abstract

Today’s society, in which there is a great demand for appropriate nutritional standards, is characterized by rising costs and often decreasing availability of raw materials together with much concern about environ-mental pollution. Consequently, there is considerable emphasis on the recovery, recycling and upgrading of wastes. This is particularly valid for the food and food processing industry in which wastes, effluents and by-products can be recovered and can often be upgraded to higher-value and useful products.
