Description
Food Industry Wastes: Assessment and Recuperation of Commodities, Second Edition, synthesizes knowledge surrounding food waste management techniques, processing technologies, environmental assessment and wastewater cleaning, presenting the latest chemical and biological technologies. This new edition also draws readers’ attention to recycling trends and preventive strategies. Economic assessments of food waste prevention efforts in the OECD countries, as well as good practices in this area, are also explored. By presenting a number of case studies and examples, the book illustrates emerging environmental technologies that are suitable for the development of a sustainable economy.
Food scientists, nutrition researchers, academics, graduate and upper-level undergraduate students, professionals and researchers interested in environmental science and food engineering, technologists, process engineers, waste managers, environmental risk assessors, food chain supervisors and policymakers will find this new edition a comprehensive resource on the topics presented.

About the Editor
Maria Kosseva
Dr Maria Kosseva’s research and teaching expertise is in the field of chemical and bioprocess engineering, solid waste management and environmental biotechnology. She has contributed to several aspects of biochemical engineering, namely, production of vitamin C, immobilization of bacterial cells and their application in food industry and environmental protection. She participated in the development of new technologies and bioreactor design for use of thermophilic populations in aerobic/anaerobic processes. Her higher education degrees are in chemistry and cybernetics from the University of Sofia in 1979, and her PhD was gained from the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in 1991. After research spells at the Catholic University of Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium), and the University of Cape Town (RSA), she headed a number of European-funded and industry-related projects at the University of Birmingham (UK), where she also gained a PGCHE teaching diploma in 2004. Maria worked as a Lecturer at the University College Dublin (UCD), Ireland, where established and led the Microbial Engineering Laboratory. At UCD, she acted as a coordinator of the joint Masters’ Programme in Biopharmaceutical Engineering since its launch in 2006. In the past decade she worked as A/Professor in the University of Nottingham Ningbo China. There she established a modern laboratory for undergraduate students studying Biochemical Engineering. Maria has supervised to successful completion more than 10 students for higher degrees. Based on her scientific publications, she has a h-index of 20. Maria is a lead editor of three books: ‘Food Industry Wastes: Assessment and Recuperation of Commodities’ 1st (2013) and 2nd editions (2020), and ‘Science and Technology of Fruit Wine Production’ (2017) published by Academic Press, Elsevier. Dr Kosseva has been an external scientific consultant to a number of international companies, such as Pfizer International Ltd (IRE), Idemitsu Kosan Co Ltd, Sofia Airport (Fuel Department), Petroleum Refinery (BG), Maxsys Ltd (UK), and Hitachi Plant Engineering Ltd (Japan). Maria was awarded numerous international research grants from Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, British Council, Royal Society, Medical Research Council (UK), Foundation of Research and Development (RSA), and Water Research Commission (RSA). Maria is acting as an expert for the European Commission programmes and actions such as IEE, KBBE, and H2020-Marie Sklodowska-Curie. She is a member of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), the European Federation of Biotechnology, as well as the International Solid Waste Association.
