Neue Konzepte der Reststoffverwertung in der Lebensmittelindustrie - Chancen für die Kartoffelstärkeindustrie

New concepts for the utilisation of residual products from food industry - Prospects for the potato starch industry. In disposed waste are quite a lot of reusable substances of high value. These residual products can be transferred into commercial products in dependency to the adequate technology either as raw material for secondary processes, as operating supplies or as ingredients of novel products. Numerous valuable substances in food production are suitable for separation and recycling at the end of their life cycle even though present separation and recycling processes are not absolutely cost saving. Based on a concept of food production in its entirely the actual state is exemplary demonstrated at the potato starch industry in its occurrence, quantity and utilisation of the residual products. The target state of a clean production process will be realised by the development of multifunctional food ingredients. The outlined concept can be naturally transferred to several areas of industrial food production. The intentions of this research area are located at the development of techniques, which fulfil the conditions of environmental protection with costs to a minimum.
