Abstract
Food and beverage industry effluents form a major chunk of agro-industrial wastes throughout the world. Food industry effluents mainly come from starchy foods, olive oil mill, palm oil mill, sugar refining and fermentation industries. It is imperative to review the present status of food processing waste utilization for their safe disposal. Microbes are well-suited natural agents for recycling of organic wastes including effluents. Many microorganisms, well known for their hydrolytic enzyme production potential, may be employed for biodegradation of organic matter to reduce the biological oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand of these effluents. This review discusses the microbial remediation options to biovalourize wastewaters by production of value-added products from agro-food and beverage industry effluents as well as their safe disposal.
