Process and Product Design

About this book

This book explores innovative strategies for repurposing food waste, with a strong focus on process and product design. It highlights diverse food waste sources, including expiring materials and often overlooked resources, offering a comprehensive evaluation of technologies, methods, and sustainable solutions to address the global challenge of food waste.

Key Features:

  • 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 maximising biogas production, as well as utilising 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.
