Bioconversion of waste is a natural process aiding in the recovery of resources and biotechnology-facilitated natural recycling processes. Biotechnological treatments to food processing wastes found in large quantities can produce useful end products, such as microbial biomass protein, while wastes are also purified during the process. Fungi as microorganism and as fungal biomass have been used for many applications such as enzyme production for biomedical, biorefinery, and other industries. Additionally, environmental pollution is a crucial problem for the entire world, and it is growing continuously. Continuous growth of pollution is resulting harmful changes like global warming and pollution of air, water, and soil. These changes are directly associated with various activities like uncontrolled agricultural practices, deforestation, urbanization, accumulation of huge amounts of agricultural and food waste, improper dumping of naturally occurred waste and forest residues, etc. Therefore, proper utilization of these wastes may be a better solution for this problem. Fungal-based biomass materials are good sources of carbohydrates, oil & fats, cellulosic content, and other useful chemical components which can be converted into value-added products for production of clean energy, bioenergy, bio-adsorbents, and useful chemicals. This book provides information, processes, and ideas for the conversion of waste into useful and consumable enzymes through biological approaches. Within the last few years, researchers have found that food and agricultural waste biomass have the potential to produce value-added products. Technological information for the production of nutraceuticals and organic acids from the agro-waste are also covered in this book.

Über den Autor Dan Bahadur (Hrsg.) Pal

Dan Bahadur Pal is currently working as Associate Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering, Harcourt Butler Technical University, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India. He received his M.Tech. in 2011 and Ph.D. in 2017 in the field of Chemical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. Before that, he completed his B.Tech. in Chemical Engineering from UPTU, Lucknow, in 2006. Dr. Pal completed a doctoral degree in the field of nanotechnology and catalysis. These nanofibers have very promising potential to provide benefits to nanotechnologies, energy, environment, catalysts, sensors, etc. While pursuing research, he has published 105 publications in internationally refereed journals and 12 books and has contributed to 53 book chapters. From all the publications, he got 4,218 citations with a 29 h- index and 63i- 10 indexes. Dr. Pal's research interests include nanotechnology, catalysis, energy and environment, and waste management, with a special focus on developing processes and materials by using waste as raw materials. He also prefers to work on bio- waste processing and value addition. He is the top 2% scientist in the field of Energy by Standford University list for the year 2024 & 2025. Ashish Kapoor is currently working as Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Harcourt Butler Technical University, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India. He earned his B.Tech. and M.Tech. (dual degree program) in Chemical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, Tamil Nadu, India, in 2004. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois Urbana- Champaign (UIUC), Illinois, USA, in 2011. Before assuming his current position, Dr. Kapoor worked as a Product Engineer at Lam Research Corporation, California, USA, and as a faculty member in the Department of Chemical Engineering at SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Kattankulathur, Tamil Nadu, India. With over 12 years of experience in industry and academia, he has authored more than 75 peer- reviewed international publications and has an h- index of 18. His research interests include microfluidics, lab- on- a- chip technologies, environmental remediation, biomass valorization, and modelling and simulation.
