Description
Starchy Crops Waste Valorization: Recovery and Treatment, the fifth volume in the Underground Starchy Crops of South American Origin series, provides information on the applied level of producing and using starch from a range of plants grown in tropical and subtropical areas with South American origin. The book presents collecting information about products that are generally considered as waste and can therefore cause serious pollution problems in starch-processing industries. Edited by experts with a solid background in starch extraction research, the books in this series are aimed at anyone involved in research and development, new technology processes, quality control, and legislation. The Underground Starchy Crops of South American Origin book 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. As the final volume in the series, Starchy Crops Waste Valorization: Recovery and Treatment 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. Residues covered are of two types: crop residues and industrial residues.- Thoroughly explores how to reduce waste and avoid environmental pollution- 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
