Sustainability of food industry wastes: a microbial approach
2021
Abstract Agro-food industrial by-products signify a grave environmental problem. In addition to the conventional irrigation with wastewaters, the application of solids to the soil, and the extraction of worthwhile compounds for the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food industries, a microbiological strategy is also possible. In this review, the most promising microbiological methods for the valorization of wine and oil by-products are shown. Recently, there has been an upsurge in the exploitation of the waste materials generated by the wine and olive oil industries. Treatments by physical and chemical processes are generally costly, and they do not often provide entire solutions. Microbiologi…
