 Food Waste

Food Waste is defined as all food produced or purchased

that is discarded by humans.
 Why Food Waste happens?

 Protocol on food safety : Food safety protocols give no room for error in
compromising with quality of final food products.

 Other reasons include Overcooking, Packaging Defects, Production trials

 Types of Food Industry
Food Processing
Industries
• Sugarcane Industry
• Dairy Industry
• Fruit & Vegetable
Industry
• Oils & Fats Industry
• Grain mills
• Slaughterhouses
Food Manufacturing Food Service
Industries Industries
• Bakery • Restaurants
• Dairy Industry • Cafeterias
• Fruit & Vegetable • Caterers
Industry • Fast food outlets
• Meat, Poultry & Fish
• Grain mills
• Alcoholic & Soft Drinks
 Dairy Industry

Dairy Industry involves processing of raw milk into milk products such as butter, cheese,
yoghurt, ice cream etc.

Unit Operations involved in Dairy Industry are:

1. Raw Milk processing, reception and storage
2. Separation & Standardization
3. Homogenization
4. Pasteurization
5. Chilling
6. Packaging & Storage
 Sources of Dairy Waste

 Buttermilk, Whey and their derivatives are the main by products.

 Waste water from this industry contains high concentration of organic material,
suspended solids, BOD and COD values, nitrogen concentrations, oil and grease.
 Sugarcane Industry

Sugarcane processing industries produces cane sugar (sucrose) from sugarcane.

Unit Operations used in sugarcane industry are:

1. Crushing-Milling
2. Liming
3. Heating
4. Clarification
5. Evaporation
6. Crystallization
 Sources of Sugarcane Industry Waste

Sugarcane industry produces mainly Cane Trash, Molasses, Press mud &
Bagasse.

 Cane Trash is the field residue remaining after harvesting the cane stalk.
 Bagasse is the milling by-product which remain after extracting sugar from the stalk.
 Molasses is a final effluent obtained in the preparation of sugar by repeated
crystallization.
 Industrial Horticulture Waste

Mainly arises in food processing industries.

Food processing industries use some hazardous material for food processing like dyes, banana peels,
coconut husks etc.

Contains phenols, carotenoids, flavonoids etc.

If not disposed within time then, become biggest threat to human survival.
 Alcohol Industry Waste

 Alcohol Industry’s main waste ie. wastewater is highly toxic.

 This waste water contains high concentration of potassium,

biological oxygen demand, total solids, organic matter and high
acid characteristics.

 Being highly toxic cause adverse effect on soil structure and water
bodies.
APPLICATION OF
BIOTECHNOLOGY IN
CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
Pulp & Paper Industry

Mainly these enzymes are used in paper and pulp industries:

 Amylases for starch modification for paper coatings

 Xylanases for bleach boosting
 Lipases for pitch control
 Esterases for stickies control
 Enzymes for deinking
Sewage Treatment Plant

In the field of energy, biotechnology can help replace traditional fuels by using biomass as
an energy source.
Biomass uses organic matter such as crops, agricultural waste or cellulose, among others,
to obtain heat and electricity through different processes, for example, combustion or the
use of gases generated by their decomposition. In this way, biotechnology makes it possible
to generate fuels with a neutral balance of emissions. But production on a large enough
scale to cover all needs, allowing the energy transition to become real, remains a challenge
In Energy Sector

The five main benefits of using biotechnology to create fuels. The use of biotechnology to create fuels
that provide a sustainable energy alternative has five major benefits:
1) Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and elimination of toxic emissions with respect to
traditional fuels.
2) Reduced dependence on traditional fuels.
3) Viable income alternative for the primary sector and potential driver of rural development.
4) Reduction of contaminants in soil and water (with the ensuing benefit to human and ecosystem
health).
5) Possibilities of energy recovery of waste and waste reduction.
