400 billion dollars are lost every year in the first links in the food chain (production, harvesting, storage and processing). Within this category, which we call food loss, we consider also food by-products.
Food by-products are minor or secondary products obtained in the production process of main products. They play a key role in the circular economy because they acquire new value for food industries, in terms of reuse and recycling, in order to minimize waste and wastefulness.
Join our MEET THE SCIENTIST and go through a comprehensive understanding of food by-product value and how they can be valorized in a circular economy perspective, as natural additives in the formulation of other food finished products, to improve their oxidation stability and extend their shelf-life.
