This book covers sustainable approaches for industrial transformation pertaining to valorization of agro-industrial byproducts. Divided into four sections, it starts with information about the agro/food industry and its byproducts, including their characterization, followed by different green technologies (principle, process strategies and extraction of bioactive compounds) applied for the management of agro industry byproducts. It further explains biotechnological interventions involved in the value addition of these byproducts. Various regulatory and environmental concerns related to by-product management along with biorefinery concept and future strategies are provided as well.Features:Provides extensive coverage of agro-industrial by products and their environmental impactDetails production of value-added products from agro-industrial wasteDescribes environmental legislations and future strategiesPresents multidisciplinary approaches from fundamental to applied and addresses the biorefinery and circular economyIncludes innovative approaches and future strategies for management of agro-industrial wasteThis book is aimed at researchers, graduate students and professionals in food science/food engineering, bioprocessing/biofuels/bioproducts/biochemicals and agriculture, bioeconomy, food waste processing, post-harvest processing, and waste management.
