Preface

Several countries and scientists continue to grapple with what to do with the byproducts generated from agriculture and fisheries production. Byproducts constitute an enormous amount of opportunities that have been under‐exploited. In recent years, several innovative approaches have been developed to convert these by‐products into value‐added products for food, feed, pharmaceutical, and fuel applications.

This book is organized into three parts. The first part is related to animal byproducts and their application in microbial enzyme production, bioenergy, feed, and bioactive peptides. In the second part, recent developments in the conversion of plant‐based byproducts into biofuels and enzymes are illustrated, alongside explanations of their use as biopesticides, biofertilizers, contaminant remediation agents, and other products.

The last and concluding part discusses an often‐overlooked component in addressing utilization of agriculture and fisheries byproducts: constraints. In addition to the question of commercial value, several constraints may hinder the commercial processing of these byproducts to value‐added products. These include policies and economic, transportational, technical, and managerial limitations.
