Waste and byproducts from the agro-food processing industry are valuable sources of various useful biochemicals. Significant challenges arise in their storage and segregation, largely due to the complexity, distinct nature of each type of biomaterial, and the interaction between the inherent components. However, meticulous scientific intervention can maximize the use of these resources leading to sustainable biorefineries converting them to beneficial food industry additives.
