This edited book discusses various processes of feedstocks
bioconversion such as bioconversion of food waste, human manure,
industrial waste, beverage waste, kitchen waste, organic waste,
fruit and vegetable, poultry waste, solid waste, agro-industrial
waste, cow dung, steroid, lignocellulosic residue, biomass, natural
gas etc. Nowadays, the industrial revolution and urbanization have
made human life comfortable. However, this requires excess usage of
natural resources starting from food and food products, to energy
resources, materials as well as chemicals. The excess use of
natural resources for human comfort is expected to high fuel
prices, decline natural resources as well as cause a huge hike in
the cost of raw materials. These factors are pushing researchers to
grow environmentally friendly processes and techniques based on
inexpensive and sustainable feedstock to accomplish such worldwide
targets. Bioconversion, otherwise called biotransformation, is the
change of natural materials, for example, plant or animal waste,
into usable items or energy sources by microorganisms.
Bioconversion is an environmentally friendly benevolent choice to
supplant the well-established chemical procedures utilized these
days for the production of chemicals and fuels. A variety of
alternatives advancements are being considered and are directly
accessible to acquire diverse valuable end-products through
bioprocesses. This book discusses in detail the process and
techniques of bioconversion by focusing on the organic feedstock of
animal and plant origin. It brings solutions to the bioconversion
