Residues from agriculture and the food industry consist of many
and varied wastes, in total accounting for over 250 million tonnes
of waste per year in the UK alone. Biotechnological processing of
these residues would allow these waste products to be used as a
resource, with tremendous potential. An extensive range of valuable
and usable products can be recovered from what was previously
considered waste: including fuels, feeds and pharmaceutical
products. In this way Biotechnology can offer many viable
alternatives to the disposal of agricultural waste, producing
several new products in the process.
This book presents up-to-date information on a biotechnology
approach for the utilisation of agro-industrial residues,
presenting chapters with detailed information on materials and
bioconversion technology to obtain products of economic
importance:
- The production of industrial products using agro-industrial
residues as substrates
- The biotechnological potential of agro-industrial residues for
bioprocesses
- Enzymes degrading agro-industrial residues and their
production
- Bioconversion of agro-industrial residues.
Written by experts in Biotechnological processing of
Agro-Industrial Residues, this book will provide useful information
for academic researchers and industry scientists working in
biotechnology, waste management, agriculture and the food
industry.
