Details: Waste Valorization, Recovery and Treatmentis the fifth volume of the “Underground Starchy Crops of South American Origin” book series. Organized in five volumes, this series brings information on the applied level of producing and using starch from a range of plants grown in tropical and subtropical areas that have South American origin. This book presents collecting information about products that are generally considered as wastes and, therefore, can cause serious pollution problems in starch-processing industries. This title enables stakeholders to valorize waste by transforming it into by-products that can reach the market and reduce processing costs. It also explains how to reduce or eliminate problems of environmental contamination. The residues covered are of two types: crop residues and industrial residues. Crop residues are produced after harvesting the root, rhizomes or tubers. Edited by a team of experts with solid background on starch extraction research, the books are aimed at all those involved in research and development, new technology processes and quality control and legislation in the field of starch. Thoroughly explores how to reduce waste and avoid environmental pollution, at the same time when wastes are valued in by-products as promoting of circular economy Presents the industrial wastes generated by raw material transformations Includes the best use of co-products from lesser known crops, as a way of valuing and protecting the environment
