Fruit and Vegetable Waste Utilization and Sustainability

Fruit and Vegetable Waste Utilization and Sustainability presents strategies to address the amount of waste generated from the industrial processing of fruits and vegetables. Sections address the valorization of fruit and vegetable waste for high-value products, the techno-economic assessment of fruit and vegetable biorefinery/valorization, environmental impacts through real-life examples of lifecycle assessment, and content on integrated biorefineries, policies and case studies. Food scientists and nutrition researchers, as well as food industry professionals working toward zero waste and academics and students studying related fields, are sure to benefit from this reference. Includes information on the integration of processes and technologies for biorefinery conceptualization Addresses both agricultural and industrial fruit and vegetable waste Contains definitions, case studies, applications, and more INDICE: 1.
