The non-edible portions of food that are wasted during handling, processing, or after consumption are referred to as "kitchen waste." It contains unavoidable food wastes from refrigerators and food preparation areas, as well as garbage from homes, businesses, institutions, and other sources. Due to its high moisture concentrations, kitchen waste is difficult to han...
