As the world s population continues to grow so does the demand for food, and in consequence the amount of material left over from food production. No longer considered simply as "waste," many food co-products are being identified as economically-viable raw materials and their potential is enhanced by modern processing technologies and the biorefinery concept.

This book presents a general overview of the current situation, with perspectives from within the food industry and policy makers in the introductory chapters. These are followed by five chapters exploring modern advanced...

In Europe, the main oil-rich crops are sunflower, rapeseed and olive which are grown primarily for food.

The resulting processes are more economically competitive and the business margin for oil and biodiesel manufacturers is improved. Previously, oil crops have been the main...
