Valorization of Wastes/By-Products in the Design of Functional Foods/Supplements: Volume 106

Valorization of Wastes/By-Products in the Design of Functional Foods/Supplements, Volume 106 provides up-to-date information on the valorization and application of by-products/wastes from fruit, vegetable, oil, cocoa, tea, coffee, nuts, seeds, cereals, legumes, citrus and animal-based products. Moreover, safety aspects as well as bioaccessibility/bioavailability of bioactives obtained from by-products/wastes are covered. As agricultural and food wastes constitute a significant problem worldwide because of their adverse effects on the environment, economy and society, this book studies the management and valorization of food wastes and their increasing significance worldwide.

As it is expected that the importance given to waste valorization will increase in the near future, contributing greatly to sustainability and circular economy, this book will help stakeholders such as governments, legislative bodies, policymakers, companies, the public, and all others place special emphasis on this topic.
