Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Millions of tonnes of food wastes and by-products are generated worldwide which costs a lot. Additionally, disposal and dumping of this biomass are not only expensive from the economic point of view but also an environmental concern. From this point of view, efficient management of food by-products possesses economic and environmental importance. In addition, food by-products are nutritionally rich with various bioactives and are feasible to utilize in human and animal feed by proper recycling approach. At present, the advancement of science and technology assure the prospects of food by-products for valued utilization in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Biotechnological approaches are interestingly and extensively investigated for the better utilization of biomass for human welfare. The initiative of aggregating modern knowledge in biotechnological application in re-cycling food by-products will open a new horizon among interested scientists, food processors, and consumers. This special issue welcomes high-quality studies on extraction, purification, and application of ingredients in different systems which are recovered from food by-products using a biotechnological recycling approach. The special issue also welcome thoroughly investigated review papers on biotechnological recycling of food by-products.
