Food byproducts derived from industrial processing is a serious worldwide problem because it generates environmental pollution and results in significant food and economic losses from food waste. This new volume shows how food byproducts can be value-added renewable sources with the application of novel biotechnologies that avoid hazardous chemicals.The volume discusses the importance of valorizing food wastes and illustrates their value-added properties for industry. It explains the significant progress in bioresources processing for compound extraction and production as well as the increasing interest of food ingredients development, in which health care, environment, and economics play an essential part in biotechnological research. It considers the waste byproducts of various crops, such as tomato, melon, maize, berries, soybean, coffee, and their uses in the generation of health-benefiting bioactive compounds. The volume goes on to explore the various biotechnological strategies to extract, produce, and recover bioactive compounds along with the cost-effectiveness of these methods.Key features:Describes technological aspects in consolidated processing and bioprocessing of food by-productsDiscusses technological aspects in biotechnology for food byproducts treatment and the richness of their biomoleculesLooks at the nutraceutical and health benefit aspects of such biomolecules from food waste byproductsProvides attractive and sustainable methodologies for bioproduct extraction and recovery for industrial applicationThis volume, Food Byproducts Management and Their Utilization, presents strategies that are of interest in food engineering, green chemistry, biotechnology, and some other areas, while paying special attention to biorefinery approaches and new challenges that industries are dealing with in the era of sustainable development. It aims to encourage not only researchers but also governmental and enterprise sectors to recognize the value and applications of food byproducts and waste.

This book presents cutting-edge technical solutions for better management of food loss and waste to transform the way we produce, manage, and utilize food resources. It will address the consequences of food loss and waste on the environment, economy, and society, the role of technological innovation in mitigating food loss and waste such as advanced packaging solutions and smart transportation methods. It will also emphasize the implementation of precision agriculture and data-driven approaches to optimize crop yields, minimize losses, and enhance resource efficiency as well as sustainable practices in food processing, preservation, and distribution. Some chapters will cover collaborative efforts and policy frameworks for systemic change and real-life case studies making this book a vital resource for policymakers, academics, food industry professionals, and anyone concerned about the sustainability of our global food system.
