Non-scientific food waste management and lack of effective measures are causing environmental distress around the world. Due to this, local authorities are under stress for its proper disposal. However, scientific as well as collaborative approach may help not only for the proper disposal of food waste, but also in biobased coproduct recovery from food waste. This review principally focuses on the drivers and patterns of food waste production in hospitality industry along with reviewing the current researches and challenges for managing the food waste through main and coproduct recovery. In this regard, the study summarizes the scientific understandings of anaerobic digestion of food waste and the technical complications arise in operating the digesters for this purpose.

不科学的食物垃圾管理和缺乏有效的措施正在世界范围内造成环境困扰。因此，地方当局承受着对其适当处置的压力。但是，科学和协作方法不仅有助于正确处理厨余，而且还有助于从厨余中回收生物基副产品。这篇综述主要着眼于酒店业食物垃圾产生的驱动因素和模式，并回顾了当前通过主要和副产品回收管理食物垃圾的研究和挑战。在这方面，研究总结了对食物垃圾厌氧消化的科学理解，并为此目的在操作蒸煮器时出现了技术复杂性。
