Abstract: Abstract Food loss through wastage is a serious global concern. Up to one third of global food production is lost through wastage. Though there are many technologies to convert food waste to valuable chemical intermediates, common practice remains landfilling. This leads to greenhouse gas emissions which adds to the considerable greenhouse gas emissions associated with the agriculture industry. One of the major bottlenecks to production of valuable chemical intermediates from food waste is recovery of the chemical intermediates that are produced. In this review, we begin by identifying sources of food waste. Development of economically viable processes for conversion of food waste to chemical intermediates will depend on the quality and type of food waste. Next, separation processes used to recover chemical intermediates from food waste are described. Development of technologies to derive valuable chemical intermediates will require the use of unit operations that enable the effective recovery and purification of the chemical intermediates.
