Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of the food industry, more and more by-products can not be used reasonably, resulting in serious environmental pollution and waste of resources, soil, and rivers, and other pollution incidents emerge one after another; on the other hand, we are also faced with the shortage of food processing raw materials. As we all know, these by-products, such as waste residue and juice from the starch industry, distiller's grains from liquor production, rice husks from flour production, and bagasse from sugarcane sugar production, are usually discarded, but they often contain starch, protein, polysaccharides, cellulose, and other organic matter, which can be used by means of extraction and fermentation. Creating high-value-added products, such as expensive pullulan polysaccharides, omnipotent-activated carbon, popular plant enzymes, and distiller's grains masks, truly turns waste into treasure, but also better builds an environmentally friendly industry, killing many birds with one stone. This Special Issue focuses on the research and application of by-products produced in the process of food processing to realize economic transformation by means of chemistry, chemical industry, biotechnology, and so on. The focus of this Special Issue includes the above aspects but is not limited to them. We invite you to share your latest research and topical comments on comprehensive utilization of by-products in the food industry by contributing to this Special Issue as we work together to advance this industry.
