Preview this chapter:

A growing population implies an increasing demand for food. Consequently, the processing industry related to it generates large amounts of waste. This problem arose due to the delayed development in establishing effective and advanced waste management technologies, which must be developed and used to lower the cost of producing processed foods and minimizing pollution risks. Recent studies on the valorization of residues in the food chain have focused on obtaining value-added products such as biofuels, enzymes, bioactive compounds, biodegradable plastics, and nanoparticles. Regulatory agencies and the food processing industries can work together to develop new waste management and use processes that are commercially viable. This chapter presents an introduction to bioremediation and management of various residues from the food industries (beverages, dairy, fruit, vegetables, oil and meat), as well as some characteristics, advantages, and limitations of some methods. New possibilities for using food waste are also described.&nbsp;<br>
