Microbial Cell Factories in Food Waste Biorefinery offers comprehensive knowledge to explore the potential of food waste for various commercial as well as environmental services, including greener fuel production, production of biofertilizers to counter synthetic agro-chemicals, and generation of high-value bioproducts to strengthen waste-based biorefinery. The book provides information, fosters innovation in food waste bio-refineries, and gives insight into ongoing research, limitations, and future trends. It serves as reference material to understand, practice, and promote waste-based sustainable systems to safeguard the environment. The unique aspect of this book is the comprehensive knowledge about different aspects of food waste valorization using microorganisms, including fungi, bacteria, microalgae and its integration with other related technologies for additional economic benefits. The book assesses sustainability of microbial systems for the transformation of wastes, and provides a broad perspective on food-water-energy security and incorporates the latest developments, innovations, challenges, and guidance to implement waste biorefinery and to improve process energetics and economics.

• Assesses sustainability of microbial systems and bioprocesses for the conversion of food waste
• Shares knowledge about integration of food waste-based biorefineries with other related technologies to improve the process economics
