This
book gives a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the
valorization of agri-food waste and discusses the main process
conditions needed to overcome the difficulties of using waste as
alternative raw materials. It also discusses specific methodologies,
opportunistic microbes for biomass valorization, the sustainable
production of agri-food waste, as well as examines the assessment and
management of bioactive molecules production from microbial-valorization
of agri-food waste. The authors provide technical concepts on the
production of various bio-products and their commercial interest
including agri-food waste utilization in the microbial synthesis of
proteins, the valorization of horticulture waste, the sustainable
production of pectin via microbial fermentation, as well as other food
and pharmacological applications. This book is intended for
bioengineers, biologists, biochemists, biotechnologists,
microbiologists, food technologists, enzymologists, and related
professionals and researchers.
