The economic system, always more oriented towards sustainable development models, should provide a new way of managing production processes optimizing the utilization of resources and minimizing the amount of waste produced. In this context, waste valorization becomes a crucial option to improve the economic and the environmental performances of a company and/or of an industrial sector. The dairy waste represents an interesting example of this type of approach considering that in Italy, the dairy industry plays a key role in the agrifood sector in terms of production, employees and turnover. The possibility to transform this waste into resources is related to their composition, they are rich in high value-added substances such as proteins, protein derivatives, potentially prebiotic sugars, minerals and vitamins. The aim of this study is to evaluate the different possibilities of the utilization of dairy industry waste in order to produce new raw materials which are useful in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.

Abstract
The economic system, always more oriented towards sustainable development models, should provide a new way of managing production processes optimizing the utilization of resources and minimizing the amount of waste produced. In this context, waste valorization becomes a crucial option to improve the economic and the environmental performances of a company and/or of an industrial sector. The dairy waste represents an interesting example of this type of approach considering that in Italy, the dairy industry plays a key role in the agrifood sector in terms of production, employees and turnover. The possibility to transform this waste into resources is related to their composition, they are rich in high value-added substances such as proteins, protein derivatives, potentially prebiotic sugars, minerals and vitamins. The aim of this study is to evaluate the different possibilities of the utilization of dairy industry waste in order to produce new raw materials which are useful in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
