Using of waste products as a functional raw material in food industry

Abstract

Nowadays, one of the most important tasks in the food industry is the rational use and processing of waste. There is a steady increase in the production of food products which are necessary to ensure the country's health security. The consequence of the increase of capacity in the food and processing industry, hence, there is the increase of the amount of waste, that in turn, leads to the problem of utilization of waste, which is truly a complex measure. The waste can be used as valuable food components, defined by the term “secondary material resources”. There are many ways: optimization (animal food); recycling, incineration, composting; obtaining fuel, as well as obtaining useful and functional products. Waste preserves many useful properties of primary raw materials and can be used as secondary resources for the production of feed, food and technical products. This work is aimed at developing scientifically based solutions, which are necessary for the implementation of a rational and proper technology of the using the secondary products in the food industry. Therefore, it is relevant and necessary to increase the degree of processing of raw materials, their complex use, and thereafter the extraction of valuable components from it.
