Overview

Review examines strategies to convert food waste into valuable products, highlighting implications for sustainability.

Key Points

  • The main aim is to explore how food waste can be transformed into valuable products and the challenges involved.
  • Critical review of current technologies for processing food waste into biofuels, bioplastics, and bioactive compounds.
  • Examination of agri-food by-products like fruit pomace, vegetable residues, and dairy waste.
  • Discussion of emerging concepts such as biorefinery and artificial intelligence applications in sustainable production.
  • Identified opportunities for using waste-derived fibers and antioxidants in functional foods and bakery products.
  • Highlighted challenges including feedstock variability, economic feasibility, and sustainability assessments.
  • Noted developments in carbon-neutral production systems as a promising future direction.
