Transforming wet perishable food waste streams for high value human consumption

为消费市场加工食品材料会产生各种剩余或废物流，这些废物目前具有低价值用途，例如用作动物饲料或用于厌氧消化。该项目将侧重于创新地回收和转化湿易腐工艺流，如果皮、秸秆、谷物和水果废料，将其转化为更高价值的功能性和质地成分，以融入食品中。结果将证明利用而不是简单地管理食物浪费，这对粮食供应安全具有战略重要性，也能带来直接的商业利益。在代表整个供应链的具有协同技能的联盟的支持下，将开发技术解决方案，以稳定和操纵来自关键精选原料的双产物材料。调查将涉及工艺步骤的创新耦合和来自不同来源的转化材料的新组合。

The processing of food materials for the consumer market results a variety of surplus or waste streams, which currently have low value uses, for example for animal feed, or for anerobic digestion. The project will focus on the innovative recovery and transformation of wet perishable process streams, such as peel, stalk, grain, and fruit waste, into higher value functional and textural ingredients for incorporation into food products. Outcomes will demostrate exploitation rather than simple management of food waste, of strategic importance for security of food supply, also delivering direct commercial benefit. Technological solutions will be developed for stabilisation and manipulation of biproduct materials frok key selected feedstocks, supported by a consortium with synergistic skills, representing the full supply chain.Investigations will involve innovative coupling of process steps and novel combination of transformed materials from different sources.
