High amounts of waste are generated daily in various food processing industries including seed, pomace, pit, peel, germ, husk, broken pulses, sludge, skin, bones, blood, feathers, wash water, and spent residue, among others. Several tons of generated waste can be effectively used to manufacture or recover such value-added by-products as fibers, antioxidants, proteins, vitamins and minerals, biofilms, fertilizers, and animal feed. While food processing- generated waste may lead to health and environmental hazards, it is critical to identify proper protocols to recover valuable ingredients from waste, thereby creating wealth in the society.
Wealth out of Food Processing Waste identifies and describes the proper protocols to recover valuable ingredients from waste, thereby creating wealth in society. The effective utilization of waste can generate income for the entrepreneur, lead to more employment for society, enhance fertility of soil, reduce environmental pollution, conserve resources, and help augment national economies to a greater extent.
