Enzyme Technology for Environmental Sustainability, Waste to Wealth, and Circular Economy offers a comprehensive look at how enzyme technology can drive environmental progress within the framework of biochemistry. Beginning with foundational concepts, the book introduces readers to the science behind enzymes and their practical applications. Each chapter builds upon these basics, illustrating how enzymes catalyze vital processes that contribute to sustainability and the transformation of waste into valuable resources. Through focused case studies and clear explanations, the book demonstrates the potential of enzyme-driven solutions to address urgent environmental challenges and promote a circular economy.Beyond its central focus, the book stands out by delivering pragmatic examples that remain within biochemical boundaries, avoiding broader discussions in public health or environmental science. It is designed as a valuable reference for biochemists, researchers, and industry professionals, emphasizing collaboration and innovation rooted in biochemical expertise. Readers will gain an enriched understanding of enzyme technology’s role in sustainable industrial practices and the future of environmentally responsible solutions.Presents thorough case studies and success stories from diverse industries, offering practical insights into enzyme technologyHighlights the necessity of interdisciplinary approaches in enzyme technology, providing models and perspectives that encourage cooperation across biotechnology, chemistry, engineering, and environmental scienceDelivers a forward-looking analysis of emerging trends and innovations in applied enzyme technology, equipping readers with knowledge on future challenges and opportunities in the field

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.
