Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The food industry is one of the largest contributors to global food waste, leading to significant economic losses and environmental impacts. This research project focuses on the development of a novel technique aimed at reducing food waste in the food industry. The study begins with a comprehensive review of the current state of food waste in the industry and its implications. Building on this background, the research methodology employed in developing the novel technique is detailed, encompassing various stages of experimentation and data analysis. The literature review section provides a critical analysis of existing methods and technologies used to address food waste in the industry, highlighting their strengths and limitations. By synthesizing previous research findings, this study aims to identify gaps in current practices and propose an innovative approach to mitigating food waste. The methodology chapter outlines the specific steps taken to design, implement, and evaluate the novel technique, including data collection methods and analytical tools utilized. The discussion of findings section presents the results of the experimentation process, offering insights into the effectiveness and feasibility of the developed technique in reducing food waste. By examining key performance indicators and comparing outcomes with established benchmarks, this study aims to assess the practical implications of the novel approach. The conclusion and summary chapter provide a comprehensive overview of the research outcomes, emphasizing the significance of the findings and their potential impact on the food industry. Overall, this thesis contributes to the ongoing efforts to address food waste in the food industry by proposing a novel technique that shows promise in reducing waste generation and promoting sustainable practices. The research findings underscore the importance of innovation and collaboration in tackling complex challenges such as food waste, emphasizing the need for continuous improvement and adaptation in the industry.

Thesis Overview

The research project titled "Development of a novel technique for reducing food waste in the food industry" aims to address the critical issue of food waste that significantly impacts the food industry and the environment as a whole. Food waste is a global concern with far-reaching economic, social, and environmental consequences. This project seeks to introduce an innovative approach to tackle this issue by developing a novel technique that can effectively reduce food waste in the food industry. The research will begin with a comprehensive literature review to explore existing studies, methodologies, and technologies related to food waste reduction in the food industry. This review will provide a solid foundation for understanding the current landscape of food waste management practices and will help identify gaps in the existing techniques that the proposed novel technique aims to address. The methodology chapter will outline the research design, data collection methods, and analytical techniques that will be used to develop and evaluate the novel technique. This will involve conducting experiments, data analysis, and possibly pilot studies to test the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed approach in reducing food waste. The findings chapter will present the results of the research, including the efficacy of the novel technique in reducing food waste, potential challenges, and limitations encountered during the study. The discussion section will provide a critical analysis of the findings, comparing them to existing literature and discussing their implications for the food industry and sustainability efforts. Lastly, the conclusion and summary chapter will summarize the key findings of the research, highlight the significance of the novel technique in addressing food waste in the food industry, and suggest future research directions. The research aims to contribute valuable insights and practical solutions to the pressing issue of food waste, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and efficient food industry.
