CRC Press - Green Extraction and Valorization of By-Products

Agricultural waste generation during the production and processing of food commodities is an unavoidable reality. As public interest in food wastage grows, finding effective ways to manage these materials becomes a priority. This book by CRC Press addresses the challenge of food wastage by examining the immense potential found within agricultural by-products. Rather than viewing these materials as waste, this text explores how their unique physicochemical characteristics allow for meaningful reuse and recycling. It provides an overview of how different processes can be used for the valorisation of these materials, turning potential waste into valuable resources. For those working in biotechnology and food science, this resource offers a look into the processes required to transform agricultural leftovers into functional components through green extraction methods.
