Abstract :

The research Group of Cleaner Technologies in Food Processing was created in 1999 in the Federal University of Santa Catarina, south of Brazil, and since this time introduces the concept of green chemistry in graduate, post-graduate and in food industrial projects of partnerships. In this work will be presented the experience of the research group in studies of rice, heart of palm, cassava, poultry, fish and others food industrial sectors. A sequence of operation was suggested to study the economical, environmental, technical and social viability of different suggestions to raw materials valorization and wastes minimization. Through this simple proceeding it is possible to create options to minimize the environmental pollution charge from food industries. The mathematical model proposed include several systems that can be compared and discussed for each industry or group of industries according their characteristics and reality. At the final of the proposal it is possible to take a decision adequate for each one.
