In Integrated
Processing Technologies for Food and Agricultural By-Products experts
from around the world present latest developments, recognizing that while some
by-products have found use as animal feed or are combusted for energy, new
technologies which integrate conversion of production and processing
by-products into higher-value food or nonfood products, nutraceuticals,
chemicals, and energy resources will be a critical part of the transition to a
more sustainable food system. Organized by agricultural crop, and focusing on
those crops with maximum economic impact, each chapter describes technologies
for value-added processing of by-products which can be integrated into current
food production systems. Integrated Processing Technologies for Food
and Agricultural By-Products is a valuable resource for industry
professionals, academics, and policy-makers alike.
