Handbook of Waste Management and Co-product Recovery in Food Processing

Food processors are under pressure, both from consumers and legislation, to reduce the amount of waste they produce and to consume water and energy more efficiently. Handbook of waste management and co-product recovery in food processing provides essential information about the major issues and technologies involved in waste co-product valorisation, methods to reduce raw material waste and water and energy consumption, waste reduction in particular industry sectors and end waste management. Chapters in Volume 2 focus on the transformation of food co-products using microorganisms and enzymes, advanced methods to optimise food manufacturing, such as closed-loop factories, non-food uses of food waste co-product and commercialization issues.
