Abstract:
Waste valorization is a process of reusing, recycling, composting the waste materials and converting them into more useful products. Food waste and by-products, which are normally regarded as not valuable, have great potential for valuable compounds production. Valorisation of these materials means more nutrients or bioactive compounds and addresses environmental issues caused by discarding these "waste" materials. In this paper, the nutritive and economic potential of food waste and by-products and the application of innovative technologies in food waste and by-products valorisation were reviewed. Such technologies improve the perspectives regarding waste utilisation, paving sustainable industrial development, one of the basic pillars for public health.
