Valorization of waste and by-products from food industries through the use of innovative technologies

For many years, waste and by-products from the food industry have beenconsidered as a problem or expense. This is mainly due to hazards generatedby the high microbial load caused by fermentation or similar processing, andtheir safe elimination from the production line with concerns environmentaland public health. In many cases, it was impossible to reuse such waste, giventhe intrinsic characteristics of certain materials and a lack of appropriate tech-nology to economically reuse it or recover nutrients, hence diminishing thepossibility of valuing waste by the owner or potential consumers.Fil: Zhu, Zhenzhou.
