    About this ebook

    Food Industry Wastes: Assessment and Recuperation of Commodities presents emerging techniques and opportunities for the treatment of food wastes, the reduction of water footprint, and creating sustainable food systems. Written by a team of experts from around the world, this book provides a guide for implementing bioprocessing techniques. It also helps researchers develop new options for the recuperation of these wastes for community benefit.

    More than 34 million tons of food waste was generated in the United States in 2009, at a cost of approximately $43 billion. And while less than three percent of that waste was recovered and recycled, there is growing interest and development in recovering and recycling food waste. These processes have the potential not only to reduce greenhouse gases, but to provide energy and resources for other purposes.

    This book examines these topics in detail, starting with sources, characterization and composition of food wastes, and development of green production strategies. The book then turns to treatment techniques such as solid-state fermentation and anaerobic digestion of solid food waste for biogas and fertilizer. A deep section on innovative biocatalysts and bioreactors follows, encompassing hydrogen generation and thermophilic aerobic bioprocessing technologies. Rounding out the volume are extensive sections on water footprints, including electricity generation from microbial fuel cells (MFCs), and life cycle assessments.

    • Food waste is an area of focus for a wide range of related industries from food science to energy and engineering
    • Outlines the development of green product strategies
    • International authoring team represents the leading edge in research and development
    • Highlights leading trends of current research as well as future opportunities for reusing food waste

      very interesting and helpfull To understand this issue. thank you
    • 4/5
      Good read. Valuable resource for best practices and strategy formulation. Shows the wide difference between US and the rest of the world in regards to waste creation and management practices. When you replace the word "disposal" with the word "recovery" new strategies for revenue and expense reduction start emerging.
