Drying and Valorisation of Food Processing Waste is a comprehensive guide that delves into the crucial role of advanced drying technologies in mitigating the issue of food waste. This book evaluates the current research, technologies, and methodologies in food waste processing and valorisation, highlighting the challenges and opportunities that exist in this field.
This book provides a systematic classification of various types of food waste and how to choose the most appropriate drying technology based on waste characteristics. It also covers the effects of drying technologies on physical and chemical properties, as well as valuable compounds. In addition, it evaluates the impact of drying on different valorisation routes and provides real-life industrial case studies to illustrate the practical applications of the concepts discussed. It is an invaluable resource for professionals, researchers, and academics who are looking to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of drying on food waste reduction and valorisation.
This book is aimed at chemical, food, and environmental engineers as well as researchers and academics in these fields. It provides a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in food waste processing and valorisation and is an essential reference for professionals seeking to advance their knowledge in this field. Additionally, this book's practical approach and case studies make it an ideal resource for students and researchers who are looking to gain hands-on experience in food waste reduction and valorisation.
