CRC Press Green Extraction and Valorization of Food Processing By-Products

This comprehensive guide from CRC Press explores sustainable methods for transforming agricultural waste and food processing by-products into valuable resources. As food waste remains a critical environmental and economic challenge, this book provides detailed insights into extraction techniques and valorisation processes that unlock the potential of materials typically discarded during production and consumption. With agricultural by-products generated in significant quantities across the industry, understanding their physicochemical characteristics and reuse opportunities is essential for food manufacturers, researchers, and sustainability professionals. The volume combines practical knowledge with green chemistry principles to help readers implement waste reduction strategies, develop new product applications, and improve overall operational efficiency whilst minimizing environmental impact.
