Project Abstract

Abstract
The increasing global population and changing consumption patterns have led to a significant rise in food waste generation, posing serious environmental and economic challenges. In response, the utilization of food waste for value-added product development has gained attention as a sustainable approach in the field of food technology. This research project explores the potential of transforming food waste into valuable products through innovative processes and technologies. Chapter 1 provides a comprehensive introduction to the research topic, including the background of the study, problem statement, research objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the research, and definition of key terms. The chapter sets the foundation for understanding the importance of utilizing food waste in developing value-added products. Chapter 2 presents a detailed literature review consisting of ten key components that explore existing research, theories, and practices related to the utilization of food waste in food technology. This section critically analyzes the current state of knowledge in the field and identifies gaps that the research aims to address. Chapter 3 outlines the research methodology, detailing the research design, data collection methods, sampling techniques, data analysis procedures, ethical considerations, and limitations of the study. This chapter provides a clear framework for conducting the research and generating meaningful insights. Chapter 4 presents the findings of the research, discussing seven key items related to the development of value-added products from food waste. The chapter analyzes the results obtained from experimental studies, surveys, and data analysis, highlighting the opportunities and challenges in transforming food waste into high-quality products. Chapter 5 concludes the research project by summarizing the key findings, implications, and contributions to the field of food technology. The chapter also provides recommendations for future research and practical applications of the study findings in promoting sustainable food waste management practices. Overall, this research project contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the utilization of food waste for value-added product development in food technology. By exploring innovative approaches and technologies, this study aims to provide insights that can help address the pressing issues of food waste management and sustainable food production in the modern world.
