Food wastes are produced by a variety of sources, ranging from agricultural operations to household consumption. About 38% occurs during food processing. At present, the European Union legislation encourages the exploitation of co-products. This valorisation can be achieved through the extraction of high-value components such as proteins, polysaccharides, fibres, flavour compounds, and phytoche...

the methods, the technology, the production patterns, the equipment, the capacity of the domestic infrastructure of each country, the mechanism of market capacity, market chains, releasing and distribution channels of agricultural and food product, purchasing patterns, and food consuming of consumers affect on the wastes of food products. regardless of the level of economic and social developme...

The objective of the work was to provide a method to predict CO2 and NH3 yields during composting of the biodegradable fraction of municipal solid wastes (MSW). The compostable portion of MSW was simulated using three principal biodegradable components, namely mixed paper wastes, yard wastes and food wastes. Twelve laboratory runs were carried out at thermophilic temperatures based on the princ...

Food waste and food processing wastes which are abundant in nature and rich in carbon content can be attractive renewable substrates for sustainable biohydrogen production due to wide economic prospects in industries. Many studies utilizing common food wastes such as dining hall or restaurant waste and wastes generated from food processing industries have shown good percentages of hydrogen in g...

conclusions considering the weight percentage of food wastes (70%), solid wastes of babolsar city could be used for composting. also as large quantities of infectious wastes were produced by hospitals of babolsar, it is recommended that sterilization systems (hydroclave) be used for decontamination of these hazardous wastes. materials and methods this study was a descriptive and cross-sectional...

the purpose of this research was to evaluate the recovery potential of solid waste in mashhad. the solid waste generated in the regions 4, 5 and 6 has been quantified and characterized using direct weighing, physical testing and truckload sampling methods. to determine the quantity and quality of waste generated and its seasonal variations, chemical and physical analysis were carried out for on...

background: the production of waste pollutants has become a major problem for many food and oil industries. however, oil wastes can provide alternative substrates for industry, which could help to solve environmental pollution problems. furthermore, oil wastes can be used as substrates to produce unsaturated fatty acids, which are important for health.objectives: the production of fatty acids i...

The all-trans-β-carotene is a natural pigment used in various industrial fields (food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, etc) and possesses the higher provitamin A activity, in respect to other carotenoids. All-trans-β-carotene is produced industrially by chemical and biotechnological means. For β-carotene biotechnological production in industrial scale mated cultures of Blakeslea trispora, a heterot...
