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.

Key features

  • 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

Readership

Academics, Graduate and post-graduate students (MBA, MSc and Ph.D. students), researchers, technicians in processing and waste management and product development and quality control, legislators of technical standards in food and packaging, professors, educators in general, local authority and Policy actors

Marney Pascoli Cereda

Marney Pascoli Cereda, Ph.D. has graduated in Agronomic Engineering at University of São Paulo, Brazil. She idealized and was the first Director of a Research Centre specialized in tropical starches. For her activities in research, she received in 2000 the Medal of Merit from the São Paulo Government. She also realized post-doctoral internships in Spain, France and England and technical visits in China, Thailand, Japan, India and in most Central and South American countries. Her researches focus mainly in food technology and development. In food technology she works mainly with food security, food safety and the use of agroindustry’s wastes. In rural agroindustry’s, she works in the development of processes in social technology and valorization of family farming products production by innovative technologies. She developed 3 patents and other 6 are in analysis process. From 2018 she remains an independent researcher and coordinates the Agro: Research, Processes and Products Laboratories.
