Abstract
In the past few years, there has been a tremendous increase in food waste generation due to rapid urbanization and industrialization. These food wastages have put an emphasis to employ novel techniques for management of waste generated so that waste generation could be reduced to a minimum or these wastes could be converted into some valuable products. Food waste consists of high levels of sodium and moisture and is usually mixed with other types of waste during its collection. Amount of waste generated is largely determined by two factors—population in a given area and its consumption patterns. In order to cope with this huge waste production, advanced and effective waste management systems are to be adopted that can overcome the gap between production and management of waste disposal. Therefore, in this view much technological advancement has occurred in the recent past which has proved to be useful for combating this problem. In this review, a brief introduction to bioremediation for various food industry waste management and advantages and limitation of bioremediation has been discussed.
