‘Bioprocessing in Food Science’ is a series of volumes covering the entirety of unit operations in food processing. This latest volume disseminates the recent advances, breakthroughs, and challenges of the valorization of fruit and vegetable industry waste.
Numerous researchers have studied fruit and vegetable processing and waste valorization in general, but there is little work available to scientists and engineers regarding real-world solutions to practical everyday problems in this industry. The knowledge has to be made available in book format to facilitate academia, researchers, and the food manufacturing industry to utilize waste for extraction of valuable polysaccharides, additives, and nutraceuticals.
This groundbreaking new volume is a comprehensive compilation of all the research that has been carried out so far, their practical applications, and the future scope of research. An earnest effort to capture every possible detail and present an up-to-date compilation of scientific literature, including their own research work, for the benefit of the science has been carried out by the editors and experts in their respective fields who contributed. Students, researchers, product developers, and industry professionals will find the book an invaluable resource and a one-of-a-kind tool.
