AGUIAR, Santiago; UVIDIA, Hernán  and  ARBOLEDA, Luis. Use of agro-industrial waste as an alternative to improve the quality of the environment. Rev. Inv. Cs. Agro. y Vet. [online]. 2021, vol.5, n.15, pp.266-277. ISSN 2664-0902.  https://doi.org/10.33996/revistaalfa.v5i15.145.

The increpase in the volumen of agro-industrial, agricultural and domestica salid wastes caries a series of implicaciones related to Health and Environmentally aspects. The objectivo of thais research is to propuse Possible alternatives cor the use of wastes generated in agribusiness, from the processing of snacks. These use alternatives are formulated from the physicochemical characterization of the wastes, which was carried out through proximal analysis, elemental analysis such as dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), fiber crude (FB), ash, ethereal extract (EE), nitrogen-free extracts (ELN) and crude energy (EB), descriptive statistics were used and the mean and standard deviation were determined. It was found that the vast majority of wastes can be used as raw material in animal feed production processes. Banana peel and cassava had the highest ash content (8.82 and 8.49%) respectively. The agro-industrial by-products of shelled peanuts, shelled peanuts, banana peel, cassava peel, broad bean peel and shelled broad beans presented good content of DM, OM, PB, ELN, EE, Ash and EB.

Keywords : Agro-industrial wastes; Bioenergetics; Sustainable development; Proximal analysis.
