The European Commission defines the bioeconomy as "the production of renewable biological resources and the conversion of these resources and waste streams into value added products, such as food, feed, bio-based products and bioenergy. Its sectors and industries have strong innovation potential due to their use of a wide range of sciences, enabling and industrial technologies, along with local and implied knowledge." The Bulgarian food industry faces a lot of challenges on the local and national level, which have direct influence on the structure of the production companies. Most of the enterprises from the food sector produce under foreign brands in order to be flexible partners to the large Bulgarian retail chains. The small companies from the food sector are not able to develop as an independent competitive producer on the territory of their local markets. This kind of companies rarely has a working strategy for positioning on new markets. In order to consolidate their already built positions for long period of time, the producers are trying to optimize their operations in a short term. However, the unclear vision of the companies for the business segment does not allow them to fully develop. Tourism in Bulgaria is a significant contributor to the country's economy.

The world fisheries resources have exceeded 160 million tons in recent years. However, every year a considerable amount of total catch is discarded as by-catch or as processing leftovers, and that includes trimmings, fins, frames, heads, skin, viscera and among others. In addition, a large quantity of processing by-products is accumulated as shells of crustaceans and shellfish from marine bioprocessing plants. Recognition of the limited marine resources and the increasing environmental pollution has emphasized the need for better utilization of the by-products. Marine by-products contain valuable protein and lipid fractions, minerals, enzymes as well as many other components. The major fraction of by-products are used for feed production—in making fish meal/oil, but this has low profitability. However, there are many ways in which the fish and shellfish waste could be better utilized, including the production of novel food ingredients, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, biomedical materials, fine chemicals, and other value-added products. In recent times, much research is conducted in order to explore the possible uses of different by-products. This contribution primarily covers the characteristics and utilization of the main ingredients such as protein, lipid, chitin and its derivatives, enzymes, carotenoids, and minerals originating from marine by-products.

Sugarcane is one of the major cash crops, used for the production of sugar and ethanol. Sugarcane processing, results in many by by-products like bagasse, molasses and press mud which have economic value. Also, the by-products serve to generate many value added products. Sugarcane wax is a value added product obtained by the processing of press mud. It has pharmaceutical, agricultural and industrial applications. n-Triacontanol, Policosanol, D-003 acids and waxes are some of the products derived from the sugarcane wax. This article attempt discusses the various methods of extraction of sugarcane wax, its constituents and its characteristics and applications of the products derived from the sugarcane wax.

Abstract Objectives The main aim of this study is to determine the physiochemical properties and nutritional composition of by-product of Bengal gram and to develop value added products, incorporating by-products of cereals and pulses in combination. Further in this study popularization of such acceptable product and transfer of the technology regarding their preparation and utilization is also regarded to be beneficial. Methods For the nutritional evaluation of raw ingredients, physio-chemical property and nutrient composition were checked by AOAC methods. Standardization and development of some basic value added products were also done. Functional properties and nutritional composition of developed value added products were equally checked by shelf life evaluation to choose the most acceptable consumable food products. New products were made using fermentation, supplementation and combination. Results We found that most of the by-products are rich in protein, calcium, iron and fiber. We observed that Bengal gram husk contain highest amount of crude fiber i.e., 40%. However, it also contains ash (4.2%), dietary fiber (82 g/100 gm), insoluble dietary fiber (76 g/100 gm) and total calcium (984 mg/100gm). In case of broken rice we have observed low amount of trypsin inhibitor activity (16.35 TIU/mg) and high amount of starch (75 g/100gm). In addition, we have observed anti-nutritional factors significantly in higher amounts in case of broken rice. Additionally, wheat bran was found to contain high amount of total phosphorus (988 mg/100gm), soluble dietary fiber (10 g/100gm) , total calcium ( 71 mg/100 mg) and Trypsin inhibitor activity ( 55 TIU/mg) . Combining these by-products various products were prepared using various processing techniques like fermentation, supplementation and combination. We found that newly prepared value added products have high amount of proteins, dietary fiber, available minerals, in vitro protein digestibility and higher antioxidant activity. Conclusions We suggest that novel formulated food products can be utilized as an unconventional source of nutrients and therapeutic weapon to combat diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. Utilization of such agro wastes as food products will also be useful to combat hunger, food demand and malnourished state leading to maintenance of food security.
