Beskrivning
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

Mer om författaren
Prof. Kosseva was awarded a PhD in technical sciences and chemical engineering by the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. She further developed her research and teaching skills at the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom, Catholic University of Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, the University of Cape Town, South Africa, and Hiroshima University, Japan. The career progression took her also to the University College Dublin, Ireland. As a lecturer, she set up and led a new research laboratory and acted as a director of new MScEng programme in Biopharmaceutical Engineering. Later, at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China she established a modern teaching laboratory and taught Biochemical and Materials Engineering modules. She has been awarded numerous international research grants by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, British Council, Royal Society, Medical Research Council (UK), and Water Research Commission (RSA), among others. Her expertise is in the fields of chemical/bioprocess engineering, waste management, environmental and food biotechnology. She has been an external scientific consultant to several international companies, e.g., Pfizer International Ltd, Idemitsu Kosan Co Ltd, Sofia Airport, Lyascovets Winery, and Hitachi Plant Engineering Ltd. She acts as an independent scientific expert on several European Commission Scientific Panels. She is an associated member of the Institution of Chemical Engineers, the Asian/European Federations of Biotechnology, and the International Solid Waste Association. Prof. Kosseva has authored more than 100 scientific publications, which have been cited more than 2000 times. She is a lead editor of 4 books published by Academic Press Elsevier.
