A by-product is a secondary or incidental product deriving from a manufacturing process or chemical reaction, and is not the primary product or service being produced. A by-product can be useful and marketable, or it can have severe ecological consequences.
Animal by-products often include parts of animals left over after butchering the animals for human consumption, such as feet, ears, heart, brains, and so on. Such by-products have often been used as sources of protein in food for animals, including dog food, cat food, and fodder for herbivorous livestock. The latter practice is evidently the primary cause of several international outbreaks of mad cow disease, which can be spread through the meat and bone meal created by grinding up leftover nerve tissue, including brains.
The process in accordance with claim 16, wherein said byproduct components are selected from the group consisting of citric acid, malic acid, other food grade acids, and combinations thereof, same having been collected by drying citrus byproduct from juice extraction equipment in the absence of purifying the byproduct component.
The process in accordance with claim 16, wherein said byproduct components are selected from the group consisting of ascorbic acid, a carotenoid, beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, lycopene, xanthophyll, and combinations thereof, same having been collected by drying citrus byproduct from juice extraction equipment in the absence of purifying the byproduct component.
The process in accordance with claim 16, wherein said byproduct components are selected from the group consisting of limonin, nomolin, a limonin glucoside, d-limonene, and combinations thereof, same having been collected by drying citrus byproduct from juice extraction equipment in the absence of purifying the byproduct component.
Rendered animal byproducts are produced from meat byproduct materials that are undesirable for human consumption, such as, for example, bone, connective tissue, skin, hooves, horns, claws, fat, greaves, blood, hair, certain muscles, and combinations thereof.
The detectable component may be, for example, a molecule or substance found in rendered animal byproduct or a part of a molecule or substance found in rendered animal byproduct.
In some embodiments, an assay for rendered animal byproduct is combined, for example upon a test strip, with multiple assays useful for analytes from a variety of taxa or groups of taxa.
