Project Abstract

Abstract
Food waste is a significant global challenge with far-reaching economic, environmental, and social implications. In light of this issue, the utilization of food waste for the production of value-added products in food technology has gained increasing attention as a sustainable solution. This research project aims to explore the various methods and technologies available for transforming food waste into valuable products in the food industry. The project begins with a comprehensive introduction, providing background information on the escalating problem of food waste globally. The problem statement highlights the current inefficiencies in food waste management and the potential benefits of repurposing food waste. The objectives of the study are outlined to investigate the different approaches to converting food waste into value-added products, while the limitations and scope of the research define the boundaries and focus areas of the study. In the literature review chapter, ten key themes related to food waste utilization and value-added product production are critically analyzed. This section examines existing studies, technologies, and innovations in the field, providing a solid foundation for the research project. The research methodology chapter outlines the approach and methods used to investigate the utilization of food waste for value-added products. Eight key components, including data collection methods, sampling techniques, and analytical tools, are detailed to ensure the rigor and credibility of the study. Chapter four presents a detailed discussion of the findings, encompassing seven crucial aspects related to the production of value-added products from food waste. The results of the research are analyzed, compared, and interpreted to identify trends, challenges, and opportunities in the field of food waste utilization. Finally, chapter five offers a conclusion and summary of the project research, highlighting the key findings, implications, and recommendations for future research and industry applications. The significance of the study is emphasized, underscoring the potential impact of utilizing food waste for creating value-added products in food technology. In conclusion, this research project contributes to the growing body of knowledge on sustainable food waste management and the production of value-added products. By exploring innovative solutions and technologies, this study aims to promote a more efficient and environmentally friendly approach to food waste utilization in the food industry.
