Conference Programme
The programme was structured into sessions designed to identify
the potential and best practice at each level of value available
from the exploitation of food processing waste.

Session 2: High Value Products
Within a number of waste streams there are the potentials for extraction
of high value products. This session explored the potential markets
and technologies available to deliver these benefits
Plenary 5

Phyto products obtained by supercritical CO2 extraction,
an environmentally accepted technology
Erika Vagi, Budapest University of Technology & Economics,
Hungary
CHAIR: Jean-Francois Thibault
Session 3: Bulk Products
Although added value is associated with minor components of waste
there is potential for bulk products to provide value. This session
identified successful case studies and research/technologies of
interest
Plenary 7
Plant residues
Keith Waldron, Institute of Food Research, UK
Short lecture
Biotechnological nanotools for adding value to bulk products

from apple pomace and mango peels
Andreas Schieber, Hohenheim University, Germany
Tuesday 27 April
CHAIR: Libe de las Fuentes, Gaiker, Spain
This Framework V thematic network on food processing waste has
identified the range of food waste, potential markets and technologies
to add value. The session reviewed the outputs of this Action
Discussions
CHAIR: Dr Andrew Smith
Session 5: Non Food Use
There are a variety of non-food markets for co-products from
food waste and this session looked at successful case histories
and current research
Plenary 9
Food processing waste and non-food
use
Jeremy Tomkinson, National Non-Food Crops Centre, York, UK
Short lecture
Sustainable use of food processing
wastes: livestock feed or bioenergy?
Sanderine Nonhebel, Groningen University, The Netherlands
Workshops
Participants had the opportunity to choose the workshop of interest
to them and contribute an issue or question for debate
CHAIR: Brian Sanders
Session 6: Disposal
At the present time complete valorisation of all waste is not
possible. This session explored the alternatives to landfill disposal
Plenary 10
Biological hydrogen production
from agro-food by-products
