The session presents cutting-edge advancements in biotechnological innovation aimed at addressing key challenges in food production, health, and waste management. Delving into a diverse range of topics, the session explores novel approaches to harnessing biological processes for sustainable solutions.

From expedited analysis of phytosterols to fermentation-based upcycling of poultry and whey, attendees will gain insights into innovative methodologies for transforming waste streams into value-added products. Creative strategies for bioactive peptide production and fungal fermentation for thin stillage valorization further underscore the versatility and potential of biotechnological interventions.
