This is the first book dedicated to food processing by-products and their utilization in a broad spectrum. It covers all food groups including cereals, pulses, fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy, marine, sugarcane, winery and plantation by-products. It aims to address the functional components, nutritional values and processing challenges relevant to the food by-products. This book provides the first reference text to bring together essential information on the processing technology and incorporation of by-products into various food and feed applications. Finally, it also delivers an insight into the current state-of-the-art and emerging technologies to extract valuable bioactive chemicals from food processing by-products. Over the past few years, not only food by-products, but also a number of other agricultural wastes, have attracted considerable attention as potential sources of bioactive chemicals, which can be used for various purposes in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries.
Considering the challenges in this area of the food industry, efforts are to be made to optimise food-processing technology to minimize the amounts of by-product waste. The food industry is generating increasing amounts of by-products all along the chain of food production and transformation. However, such by-products could be generated before the production of the finished product. Environmental regulations and high waste discharge costs have forced food processors to find ways to better treat and utilize processing wastes. Environmental legislation agencies have significantly contributed to the introduction of sustainable waste management practices throughout the world.
Efficient utilization of food processing by-products is important for the profitability of the food industry. By-products and wastes of food processing, which represent a major disposal problem for the industry concerned, are very promising sources of value-added substances, with particular emphasis being given to the retrieval of bioactive compounds and technologically important secondary metabolites. This makes them extremely suitable as raw materials for the production of secondary metabolites of industrial significance. The nutritional composition of such food waste is rich in sugars, vitamins, minerals and various health beneficial bioactive chemicals (polyphenols, carotenoids, polyacetylenes, glucosinolates, sesquiterpene lactones, alkaloids, coumarins, terpenoids, proteins, peptides, dietary fibers, fatty acids, etc.). The current trend in the world today is to utilize and convert waste into useful products and to recycle waste products as a means of achieving sustainable development. Over the next few years, the area of food processing waste management will expand rapidly.
In the last few years, there have been numerous publications focusing on the utilization of food processing by-products in both food and non-food applications. Furthermore, numerous texts and reference books are available on waste utilization and mostly their emphasis is on waste treatment. However, none of those sources deal with the utilization of by-products from the range of foods in a comprehensive way. This book is structured into 22 chapters covering an overview of food processing by products, nutritional, chemical, biochemical and physicochemical properties of food waste. It also includes food by-products, value addition and nutraceutical applications.
This book serves as a comprehensive reference book for students, educators, researchers, food processors and industry personnel, as well as policy developers, providing an up-to-date insight. The range of techniques for by-product utilization covered provides engineers and scientists working in the food industry with valuable resources for their work. As this proposed text is the first dedicated reference of its kind, it is expected that it will have broad and significant market appeal.

Food industries are growing rapidly to huge numbers due to globalization and population increase and are providing a wider range of food products to satisfy the needs of the consumers. The major food industries of the world include dairy, fruits and vegetables, meat and poultry, seafood and cereal. However, these industries generate huge amounts of by-products and wastes, which consist of high amounts of organic matter leading to problems regarding disposal, environmental pollution and sustainability (Russ and Pittroff, 2004). In addition, there is the loss of biomass and valuable nutrients that can be used for developing value-added products. Food industries are currently focusing on solving the problems of waste management and recycling by valorization, i.e. utilization of the by-products and discarded materials and developing new value-added products from them for commercial applications. Waste valorization is an interesting new concept that offers a range of alternatives for management of waste other than disposal or land-filling. Valorization allows exploration of the possibility of reusing nutrients in the production of main products, and thus highlights the potential gains that can be achieved. Traditional methods of waste utilization include their use as animal feed, fertilizer or disposal (Jayathilakan et al., 2012). However, their use has been limited due to legal restrictions, ecological problems and cost issues. Therefore, efficient, cheap and ecologically sound methods for utilization of wastes are being focused upon, which can minimize the quantities of wastes exposed to the environment and the subsequent health hazards.
Wastes from the food industries generally comprise of dietary fibers, proteins and peptides, lipids, fatty acids and phenolic compounds, depending on the nature of the product produced. For example, the wastes from meat and poultry industries comprise of proteins and lipids, while waste from fruit and vegetable processing industries and cereal industries comprise of phenolic compounds and dietary fibers. The recovery of these bioactive compounds is important for their commercialization, so that they can be utilized as nutraceuticals and pharmaceutical products.
Food-processing wastes and by-products are generated during processing of the various food products by the industries, which have not already been used for other purposes and have not been recycled. Crude raw materials such as cereals, fruits, vegetables and animals are processed to final products with the production of large amounts of materials in the form of wastes (Ezejiofor et al., 2014). These wastes emerging from the food processing industries differ from one another, depending on the type of product being produced and the production technique used. Even the amount and concentrations of wastes differ and do not remain constant. For example, wastes from the fruit and vegetable processing industries comprise of high concentrations of polyphenols and dietary fibers, whereas wastes from meat processing industries comprise of high protein and fat content. The food processing wastes also possess characteristics, such as large amounts of organic materials in the form of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates and high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) (Ezejiofor et al., 2014). Hence, they are harmful and affect the environment and human health. Appropriate technologies that focus on their reuse for creation of valuable products, whose costs exceed the costs of reprocessing, should be considered. The different types of wastes produced by the different food processing industries are listed in Table 1.1.

Cereals are the edible seeds derived from plants, which are a good source of carbohydrates. They contribute to 60% of the total world food production (Krishna and Chandrasekaran, 2013), with the main seeds being maize and wheat. Wastes from cereal processing are produced during the harvesting period, post-harvesting and the production period. Presently, these by-products are used as animal feed. However, they need to be utilized more efficiently as they comprise of proteins, dietary fibers and small amounts of unsaturated fatty acids.
Rice bran is an important cereal industry by-product, which is generated during the production of white rice. It is generated during the milling process, where it is separated from the rice to produce white rice. The rice bran production is 60–66 million tonnes annually (Ryan, 2011) and it is mostly used as animal feed or in the production of edible cooking oil. Rice bran is a rich source of nutrients, proteins and peptides, with a wide range of nutritional and functional applications. Defatted rice bran is another by-product, which is produced after oil extraction from the rice bran, also a good source of proteins and dietary fibers (Anal, 2013a). It are currently being utilized in food supplements and in the production of bakery items.
The world production of fruits and vegetables has increased rapidly. As crop production increases, there is a concomitant increase in the quantity of by-products generated (FAO, 2009). The fruit and vegetable processing by-products are regarded as waste and disposed of in the environment, which causes ecosystem problems as they are prone to microbial degradation. However, fruit and vegetable by-products and wastes are very good sources of bioactive compounds, such as dietary fibers and phenolic compounds with antibacterial, cardio-protective and antitumor activities (Khao and Chen, 2013). Efforts are being made to develop methods to reuse these wastes and by-products by obtaining bioactive compounds for health benefits, profit-making and allowing their environmental-friendly disposal.
The total worldwide production of citrus fruits was reported as 7.78 million tonnes in 2009 (FAO, 2009). These include oranges, lemons, grapefruits and limes They are commonly used forms are as fresh pulps or juice, but following their processing, the by-products such as peels, pulp and seeds remain that make up 50% of the fresh fruit weight (Khao and Chen, 2013). From these wastes, fibers, flavanoids, pectins and limonene can be produced. The major flavanoids found in the citrus peels and seeds include hesperidin, narirutin, naringin and eriocitrin (Mouly et al., 1994). These flavanoids have found to have antioxidant activities (Manthey et al., 2001). Limonin, nimolin and nomilinic acid are major limonoids found mainly in the peels, and demonstrate antibacterial, antiviral and antimicrobial activities (Djilas et al., 2009).
Banana is the largest growing tropical fruit following citrus fruits, contributing to 16% of total fruit production worldwide (Mohapatra et al., 2010). Waste from banana products includes the peels that represent about 40% of the total weight of the fresh bananas (Tchobanoglous et al., 1993). These peels are utilized in animal feed and the preparation of banana chips and banana powder. However, still huge amounts of the peels are being under-utilized and disposed of, resulting in environmental pollution. These banana wastes contain dietary fibers, proteins and different bioactive compounds such as phenolic compounds with reported antioxidant activities (Anal et al., 2014). Hence they need to be recycled so that they can be used for producing various valuable products.
Mango (Mangifera indica L., Anacardiaceae) is a common seasonal fruit, which is mainly processed to produce products such as juices, pickles, purees and canned products (Aslam et al., 2014). Recent researches have indicated that mango wastes, which mostly include the peels (7–24%) and the kernels (9–40%), are good sources of bioactive compounds. The mango peels comprise of functional compounds such as polyphenols, carotenoids, vitamins C and E, dietary fibers and natural antioxidants (Ajila et al., 2007), whereas the kernels are sources of essential amino acids like lysine, valine and leucine (Abdalla et al., 2007), phenolic compounds, edible oils and high amounts of unsaturated fatty acids. These wastes show huge potential to be used as valuable ingredients for the purpose of making functional foods.
Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L) is a popular fruit of several Asian countries. However, the increasing consumption of this fruit has led to the generation of ample abandoned mangosteen pericarps. It has been reported that 10 kg of harvested mangosteens lead to the generation of about 6 kg of pericarps (Mohammad et al., 2014). These pericarps are woody in texture, comprising of bitter substances such as xanthones, tannins and anthocyanins (Lim et al., 2013) that have medicinal properties and are being used as dietary supplements. The therapeutic benefits of these components include hypolipidemia, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and anti-carcinogenic properties (Zafra-Stone et al., 2007; Mishra et al., 2016). Another by-product from the processing of mangosteens is their seeds, which contain 21.18% oil (Ajayi et al., 2006) with essential and non-essential fatty acids. They have been reported to be safe for the heart and liver; hence they can be used as edible oils.
The apple processing wastes are termed apple pomace, which makes up 25–35% of the total apple wastes (Dijlas et al., 2009). The apple pomace includes the peels, seeds, stems, core and the soft tissues. They are good sources of polyphenols, which are mainly present in the peels such as catechin, quercetin, hydroxycinnamates, chlorogenic acid and epicatechins (Mamma et al., 2009) and pectins, proteins and vitamins. However, they are mainly utilized in the production of pectins, which can be co-precipitated out from the apple pomace. These pectins demonstrate good gelling properties, even better than citrus pectins.
Tomato is an important vegetable, with a world total production of 141 million tonnes in 2009 (FAO, 2009). The major products produced using tomatoes are soups, ketchup, juice and paste. Along with their high consumption, there is the generation of huge amounts of by-products and wastes accounting for 40% of the total fresh weight of the tomatoes. These include the seeds (33%), peels (27%) and the pulp (40%) (Encinar et al., 2008; Kaur et al., 2008). These wastes are good sources of proteins (35%) and fats (25%) (Anal et al., 2013a). In addition, they contain high amounts of unsaturated fatty acids due to which the tomato seed oil is used as edible oil. Lycopene, an important carotenoid, is also present in large amounts in tomato wastes.
Carrot processing, for the production of carrot juice, generates wastes in the form of peels and pomace (Chantaro et al., 2008). These wastes make up 12% of the fresh carrot weight and comprises of several valuable compounds such as carotenes, uronic acids and sugars, which are generally discarded or used in feeds and fertilizers. These compounds have important beneficial properties and hence can be utilized for value addition. The carrot waste also contains huge amounts of fibers, including cellulose, hemicelluloses, lignin and pectin (Nawirska and Kewasniewska, 2005). Studies are being done to recover these fibers from the carrot waste residues, as they have been reported to have cholesterol-lowering effects that can protect against coronary heart diseases. Also, various attempts are being made to incorporate the valuable compounds from carrot wastes into the production of functional foods and beverages.
The total world onion production in 2009 was reported to be 72 million tonnes (FAO, 2009). During the processing of onions, the major wastes that are generated are the peels and roots. They are a serious threat to environmental pollution, as they are not suitable for fodder because of their aroma or as fertilizers due to the fast development of phytogenetic agents, and also they contribute to toxicity in animals during digestion (Bello et al., 2013). Hence, new applications need to be found for these wastes, which contain high amounts of polyphenols and dietary fibers.
Cabbage is also a vegetable that has a high production yield; however, since it is consumed either in the raw form or the fresh form, wastes generated are very little. The main wastes are their outer leaves which are disposed off. These leaves can be used mainly for the production of biofuels by the anaerobic digestion process (Liu et al., 2006).
Meat and poultry processing generates a number of organic by-products like bones, blood, feathers, head etc. (Lasekan et al., 2013). The majority of these by-products are produced during the slaughtering process. The slaughterhouse waste comprises of the portion that cannot be utilized or sold as meat. This includes bones, skin, blood and internal organs (Lasekan, et al., 2013). Currently, these wastes are under-utilized, discarded and disposed of in landfills. However, they must be dealt with efficiently, as the growth of these industries mainly depends on the management of their by-products (Jayathilakan et al., 2012). The disposal of these wastes can also be difficult, due to their high water content, susceptibility to oxidation and changes caused by enzymatic activity that results in serious environmental pollution and hazards. Hence, it is essential to find applications for these wastes, which are becoming a serious environmental issue.
Blood is the first and most inevitable by-product of the meat and the poultry industries, which is a major problem due to its high pollutant load. However, blood comprises of a number of compounds that have potential value and is a good source of proteins which makes it an important edible by-product (Jayathilakan et al., 2012). Blood from a healthy animal is generally sterile. It will be approved for use in food products, if it has been obtained from bleeding a healthy animal. Due to an increasing trend in worldwide protein deficiency, usage of animal blood as a source of protein should be investigated and further extraction of bioactive peptides can be carried out to allow for large-scale utilization of the blood.
A great amount of poultry feathers of about 1.8 million tones are generated every year in the form of wastes (Wang and Cao, 2012). These feathers are an important waste product and are used mainly as animal feed; however, research is being made into their new applications. Feathers are composed of 90% proteins with the main one being keratin (Wang and Cao, 2012). The remainder comprises of 1% lipids and 8% water. Keratins are the major structural proteins found in feathers and are characterized by high amounts of cysteine and hydroxyl amino acids such as serine.
Bones are not usually consumed and have no value for the meat and poultry processing industries; hence they are discarded. Approximately 16–45 million tons of bones are discarded worldwide (Dong et al., 2014). They can also be utilized in feed products, as they comprise of proteins, calcium, essential minerals and lipids, which are useful for bodily function. Therefore, studies about comprehensive utilization of bones are required for developing an effective way to utilize the huge amount of bones as potential protein sources.
Skin is also an important and valuable by-product obtained from animals. Just like bones, the skin also contains huge amounts of proteins such as collagen. Gelatin is also one important protein that can be obtained after the hydrolysis of collagen under controlled conditions (Jayathilakan et al., 2012). Both of these proteins have been reported to have various functional and biological properties.
Another product of the poultry industry, which is largely produced and consumed, is poultry eggs. Their high nutritional value and relative low cost has led to their increased production worldwide. According to the FAO, global egg production in 2012 was reported as 65 million tonnes (FAO, 2012), which includes all types of eggs, including hatching eggs. However, the egg processing industries generate huge amounts of wastes, of about 1.5 million tonnes annually, in the form of shell wastes (Wei et al., 2009), which are discarded and disposed of in landfills. This contributes to environmental pollution and hazards and loss of potential revenues. By-products of the egg-processing industries comprise of the eggshells and the eggshell membrane (ESM) that represents 11% of the total egg weight (Stadelman, 2000). The ESM mainly are a very good source of bioactive compounds such as proteins and polysaccharides, together with high amounts of polypeptides (Zhao and Chi, 2009; Jain and Anal, 2016). Collagen makes up 10% of the total proteins, whereas the rest (70–75%) comprises of the glycoproteins. Due to their high protein content, they can be used for production of proteins, and peptides from them can be used in a wide range of food and nutraceutical applications.
Marine organisms are an important food source for many countries and contain value-added compounds such as lipids, amino acids, proteins and polysaccharides, which are crucial for human health. Industrial processing of these marine organisms leads to the generation of huge amounts of waste that are either discarded or used as fertilizers and fish meals. By-products from seafood processing include viscera, heads, backbones, skin, tail, blood and shells, which comprise of important bioactive compounds that can be used in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications (Anal et al., 2013b). Some of the valuable components that can be obtained from seafood processing are the bioactive peptides, proteins such as collagen, polyunsaturated fatty acids and chitin (Suresh and Prabhu, 2013).
Collagen is a major protein obtained from seafood processing by-products, which are mainly obtained from the skin, bone, tendons etc. (Regenstein and Zhou, 2007). They have a wide range of applications, such as gel formation, water binding, formation of stable emulsions and formation of films (Gomez-Guillen et al., 2011). They are also a good source of bioactive peptides. Gelatin, another protein, can also be derived from collagen, which have many applications in food industries. They can be used as food additives for improving the texture and stability of food products such as meat, bakery goods etc. (Mariod and Fadul, 2013). They are also used in the pharmaceutical industries for making capsules and tablet coatings.
