Overview
Aquatic Waste Valorization: Innovative Approaches and Sustainable Strategies, is a comprehensive guide for researchers and practitioners in the fields of food and environmental sciences, focusing on the critical intersection of waste management and sustainability within the aquatic food industry. Divided into five sections, this book explores the multifaceted dimensions of aquatic food industry waste, from its chemical composition and economic implications to a thorough introduction of valorization techniques for the use in functional food products and nutraceuticals. “Aquatic Waste Valorization: Innovative Approaches and Sustainable Strategies,” explores emerging methodologies—including physical, chemical, and enzymatic processes—as well as approaches such as microbial conversion and nanotechnology, all aimed at transforming waste into valuable resources. The book also discusses the recovery of valuable components such as proteins, lipids, and bioactive compounds, highlighting their applications across various industries, including biofuels, bioplastics, and functional food ingredients. Through practical applications, the book not only addresses the pressing issue of waste management but also presents innovative strategies to bolster both environmental and economic sustainability. Concluding sections examine the global policies and regulations shaping the future of aquatic waste valorization.
