Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
In recent years, the application of biotechnology on residues or by-products of food processing industries has received great interest from researchers, since the production of bulk chemicals and high value-added compounds, such as ethanol, biogas, organic acids, enzymes, mushrooms, etc. has been investigated in detail. The utilization of these abundant residues as alternative nutrient sources for microorganisms’ growth is also expected to minimize both environmental pollution from their disposal and the final production cost of bio-products. The main objective of the present chapter is to highlight the role of biotechnology on the bioconversion of major industrial and agro-industrial by-products, that have zero acquisition cost, to produce various bio-products.
