The circular bio-based economy offers great untapped potential for the food industry as possible valuable products and energy can be recovered from food waste. This can promote more sustainable and resilient food systems in Europe in follow-up of the European Commission’s Farm to Fork strategy and support the global transition to more sustainable agri-food systems with the common agricultural and fisheries policies.

Optimization of the autolysis of rainbow trout viscera for amino acid release using response surface methodology
Aquaculture has grown exponentially during the last decades, even overcoming traditional fishing in volume since 2012 (Iñarra et al, 2018). The rise of the production of fish involves the rise of fish by-products, that in case of being disposed could suppose an environmental risk. Fish viscera are part of the by-products used to produce fishmeal and are the 10-18% of the whole fish weight.
Production of biofertilizers from tuna cooking waters through membrane nanofiltration and enzymatic hydrolysis
Brine as side-stream is one of the main environmental problems in the wastewater generation in different food industry processes, as it is for the tuna canning sector. The treatment of brines is a universal challenge due to its operation complexity and cost issues.
