Life goes on, and the wheel of life keeps on rolling. Thank you, and I wish all of you good health! Le Minh Thong Page iii ABSTRACT Upcycled foods are a new food category that contains unmarketable consumables (e., damaged food produce, by-products, and scraps of by-product separation) that otherwise would not be consumed.
That leads to several challenges that need to be dealt with, such as definition development, inclusion in the food waste management hierarchy, and public acceptability.
