Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The world’s demand for food is increasing with the development of human society. Every year, the food industry produces inevitably large amounts of biowastes, including gaseous, liquid, and solid biowastes generated during the processing of cereals, grease, condiment, meat product, drinks, instant food, biscuits, frozen foods, puffed food, candy products, tea products, liquor, vegetable products, fruit products, egg products, aquatic products, starch products, bean products, health foods, infant formula, food additives, etc. These biowastes were a source of biomass not only with no or little pollution of pathogenic microbes, heavy metals, antibiotics, pesticides, etc., but also contain considerable nutrients and resources, such as polysaccharide, protein, lipids, amino acid, and trace elements. Conversion of these biomass into high value foods, foods additives, raw food materials, bioenergy, and biomaterial is a way of resource recovery which can make the food industry sustainable and environmentally friendly. The main goal of this Special Issue is to promote the conversion and utilization of biowaste from the food industry as a biomass resource for food, bioenergy, and biomaterial production.
