Ranging from biofuels to building
materials, and from cosmetics to pharmaceuticals, the list of products
that may be manufactured using discards from farming and fishery
operations is extensive.
Byproducts from Agriculture and Fisheries examines
the procedures and technologies involved in this process of
reconstitution, taking an environmentally aware approach as it explores
the developing role of value-added byproducts in the spheres of food
security, waste management, and climate control. An international group
of authors contributes engaging and insightful chapters on a wide
selection of animal and plant byproducts, discussing the practical
business of byproduct recovery within the vital contexts of shifting
socio-economic concerns and the emergence of green chemistry.
This important text:
- Covers recent developments, current research, and emerging technologies in the fields of byproduct recovery and utilization
- Explores potential opportunities for future research and the prospective socioeconomic benefits of green waste management
- Includes
detailed descriptions of procedures for the transformation of the
wastes into of value-added food and non-food products
With its combination of practical instruction and broader commentary, Byproducts from Agriculture and Fisheries
offers essential insight and expertise to all students and
professionals working in agriculture, environmental science, food
science, and any other field concerned with sustainable resources.
