Value Addition of Food By-Products: A Sustainable Valorization (en Inglés) - Paras Sharma

The ever-growing human population worldwide has significantly increased the demand for processed food products. This has in turn led to the generation of substantial amounts of wastes and by-products, a lot of which contain high organic load and pose environmental harm upon disposal. Strategies for the management and valorization of these by-products would not only solve the disposal and associated negative impacts but also provide an alternate solution towards sustainable development. Value Addition of Food By-Products: A Sustainable Valorization gives an overview of the various aspects of the utilization of food industry by-products. It gives an insight into the types and characteristics of by-products resulting from different food industries. It further provides information about the treatment technologies and value-added utilization of these by-products.

There are books and other forms of literature that focus on food waste and by-product utilization, however, these are mostly focused on specific aspects of the food industry. Literature encompassing the aspects of the utilization of waste and by-products from different types of food industries is scant. This work bridges the existing literature gap and provides a comprehensive overview of all major food industry by-products in a single source.
