Microbial Cell Factories in Food Waste Biorefinery offers a thorough exploration of using food waste for both commercial and environmental purposes. The book delves into greener fuel production, biofertilizers to replace synthetic agro-chemicals, and high-value bioproducts to enhance waste-based biorefinery. It fosters innovation in food waste bio-refineries and provides insights into current research, limitations, and future trends. As reference material, it helps understand, practice, and promote sustainable systems to protect the environment. In addition to its comprehensive knowledge of food waste valorization via microorganisms like fungi, bacteria, and microalgae, the book discusses the integration of related technologies for additional economic benefits.
Sustainability of microbial systems for waste transformation, food-water-energy security perspectives, latest developments, innovations, challenges, and guidance to implement waste biorefinery processes are thoroughly assessed.
