Microbial Bioprocessing of Agri-food Wastes: Food Ingredients

The goal of this book is to present recent advances in the production of food ingredients from agro-industrial residues, as well as to explore the technological advances made to make these ingredients a commercial reality for the food industry, such as peptides, food pigments, and organic acids, among others, thereby expanding the potential of bioprocesses in the valorization of agro-industrial residues for the production of molecules of industrial importance.

This book is intended for bioengineers, biologists, biochemists, biotechnologists, microbiologists, food technologists, enzymologists, and related professionals/researchers.
