Processing of fruits produces large volumes of wastes which creates pollution and results in loss of valuable biomass and nutrients. This book covers the various novel technologies useful in extraction and evaluation of the functional components from these fruit processing by-products, including tropical, subtropical and temperate fruits.

Klappentext
Processing of fruits produces large volumes of wastes and these wastes can create pollution problems and also result in loss of valuable biomass and nutrients. The Handbook of Fruit Wastes and By-Products: Chemistry, Processing Technology and Utilization deals with the various techniques and methods involved in processing of fruit byproducts.
Although, there are some general books on byproducts of food processing industry but they are limited in context to the byproducts of some particular fruits. This is the first book devoted to fruit processing by-products of wide range of important fruits including tropical, subtropical and temperate fruits; and their possible utilization in food and non-food industries.
Key Features
Discusses the valorization of fruit processing by-products
Covers the role of the byproducts as prebiotics and dietary fibers
Presents extraction techniques of bioactive compounds from fruit wastes
This book provides an in-depth information about the fruit processing by products, their nutritional composition, biochemistry, processing technology of byproducts and the utilization of byproducts into various food applications. This book also offers in depth information about the role of the fruit byproducts as prebiotics and dietary fibers, potential of these fruit byproducts as the source of bioactive ingredients and their utilization in the development of novel functional foods.
It also includes various novel technologies useful in extraction and evaluation of the functional components from these fruit processing byproducts. The book addresses how the proper utilization of fruit processing by-Products would not only emerge as a source of extra profit to the fruit processing industry but also will help in lessen the environment pollution due to these fruit processing byproducts.
