Food Waste Conversion

This volume provides protocols on food waste conversion through the use of novel food processing. Chapters guide readers through tools on the food manufacturing processes,  sustainability, new food products, food waste minimization, re-valorization of food residues. All chapters will include an introduction to the respective topic, lists of all necessary materials and reagents, easily reproducible laboratory protocols, and notes on how to avoid or solve typical problems. 

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Food Waste Conversion aims to give a comprehensive introduction into methods and proceduresrelated to food waste conversion.
