Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis explores the innovative approach of utilizing food waste to develop value-added products in the food industry. The growing concern over food waste and sustainability has prompted researchers to investigate alternative methods for reducing waste and creating additional value from by-products. This study aims to investigate the feasibility and potential benefits of repurposing food waste through the development of value-added products. The research begins with a comprehensive review of the literature on food waste management, value-added product development, and sustainability in the food industry. It examines the current challenges and opportunities associated with food waste and highlights the importance of implementing sustainable practices in food production. Following the literature review, the research methodology section outlines the approach taken to collect and analyze data for this study. The methodology includes data collection methods, sample selection, data analysis techniques, and evaluation criteria for assessing the feasibility and impact of utilizing food waste for value-added product development. The findings section presents the results of the study, including the identification of key food waste sources, potential value-added product options, and the economic and environmental implications of implementing these solutions. The discussion delves into the opportunities and challenges associated with repurposing food waste, as well as the potential benefits for the food industry and the environment. In conclusion, this thesis highlights the significance of utilizing food waste for value-added product development as a sustainable solution to reduce waste and create additional value in the food industry. The study emphasizes the importance of implementing innovative strategies to address food waste challenges and move towards a more sustainable and environmentally friendly food system.
