摘要：Progressive decrease in fossil fuel resources as a natural consequence of rapid population growth and deve loping technology has increased the need for re newable and sustainable energy resource s. In recent years, interest in energy obtained from biomass (i.e. biofuel) has increased as an alternative to existing energy sources due to its contribution to sustainable development. Food industry wastes are valuable sources of biomass. In this study, the amount of food waste generated in fruit juice, vegetable oil and meat industry as well as biofuel (biogas, bioethanol, biodiesel) potentials that can be produced from these wastes were estimated for Turkey. The amount of wastes generated from fruit juice, vegetable oil and meat industry are 209.9 thousands tons, 111.3 thousands tons and 118 million tons respectively. From these wastes 6 .9 thousands tons bioethanol, 33.5 thousands tons biodie sel and 2 5.3 billion m 3 biogas can be generated.
