| Summary: | The slaughterhouse is possibly one of the fastest-growing sectors driven by the increasing demand for food
availability. Subsequently, the wastes especially blood produced from the slaughterhouse industry are in huge
quantities, which could be a promising resource for the recovery of value-added products. Blood, particularly
plasma, is a significant and sustainable natural protein source that offers economic feasibility, environmental
friendliness, and nutritional benefits. Integrating circular economy principles can play a pivotal role in optimizing
the utilization of these by-products, thereby reducing waste and promoting sustainability across the
supply chain. This review explores the characterization of blood, including its physical and chemical properties,
and underscores the potential for expanding the application of animal blood derivatives across various sectors.
Advancements in food engineering play a crucial role in modifying the functional properties of animal plasma in
food products. However, ensuring the safety and hygienic conditions of blood derivative products requires
thorough investigations and testing. Addressing future challenges such as safety, flavor acceptance, cultural
considerations, supply chain logistics, and market demand is essential to fully realize the potential of slaughterhouse
blood as a sustainable ingredient. By making these efforts, blood-derived ingredients can contribute to a
diversified and resource-efficient food system, minimizing waste and providing nutritional benefits aligned with
sustainability goals. Through strategies such as waste reduction, reuse, and recycling, the circular economy
approach can optimize resource utilization, minimize environmental footprint, and contribute to a more sustainable
and resilient food system. |
