- Offers guidelines and a food waste valorisation framework.
- Presents unique pathways for valorising food waste and expired food.
- Delves into principles and strategies for food waste valorisation, transforming food waste into building and construction materials, upcycling food waste, and extracting bioactive compounds from expired sources.
- Explores converting food waste into biochar, biofuel, and maximizing biogas production, as well as utilizing bioconversion technology with Black Soldier Fly larvae and integrating the water–energy–food nexus.
- Each chapter includes exercises and case studies to enhance understanding and practical application.
This text is aimed at academics, engineers, technologists, and researchers in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.
