Biorefining Fruit Waste, Gebunden

Klappentext

The fruit production and processing sectors produce tremendous amounts of waste that cause significant economic losses and an undesirable impact on the environment. The effective utilization of these fruit wastes can help reduce the world's carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions to achieve sustainable development goals. These by-products contain a variety of bioactive compounds, such as dietary fiber, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, antioxidants, polysaccharides, and several other health-promoting nutrients and phytochemicals. These bioactive compounds can be extracted and used as value-added products in different industrial applications. The bioactive components extracted can be used in developing nutraceutical products, functional foods, or food additives.
