Synopsis
Value Addition in Agri-Food Industry Waste through Enzyme Technology, Volume Three explores advances in the production of high value-added products from agri-food industry waste/residues using enzyme technology. Waste materials used in hydrogen production are categorized as agricultural waste, municipal waste, industrial waste, and other hazardous wastes. The book explores advances in value-addition to waste materials and includes utilization of industrial, agricultural and municipal waste for its bioconversion using enzyme technology. This book assembles the novel sources and technologies involved in value-added products formation from specific waste materials, making it an essential reference to professionals, scientists, and academics in agri-food and related industries.
- Provides biotechnological tools used in valorizing waste for the agri-food industry
- Presents novel and eco-friendly alternative processes to produce value added products by food waste utilization
- Discusses valuable molecules from agriculture and food industry residues as a future sustainable solution to improve public health and protect the environment
