Importance of biotechnology in the food industry; enzymes, fermentation. 3. By-products of pig and beef processing: types, quantities, composition, untapped potential. 4. By-products of poultry processing: types, quantities, composition, untapped potential. 5. By-products of the dairy industry; by-products of milk and cheese processing. By-products of egg processing and their economic potential. 6. Bioactive peptides from fish collagen by-products; other bioactive compounds from animal by-products. 7. Organic fertilisers and biopesticides. Types, properties, production, benefits, and uses. 8. Processing of poultry collagen by-products into gelatins and hydrolysates using microbial enzymes. 9. Processing of fish tissue by-products by demineralisation technology and action of proteolytic enzymes on collagen products. 10. Enzymatic technologies for processing unused keratin parts (e.g., feathers, sheep wool) of animals into high-value-added products. 11. The use of planned experiments (DOE) in bioengineering research and industrial practice for process optimization. 12. Bio-ethanol production from waste; current status, perspectives, challenges. Technologies for processing waste plant biomass into energy. 13. Microbial enzymes derived from fish processing wastes. 14. Biological and microbial technologies for processing fruit and vegetable wastes.
