Beginning with the introduction of waste management, this book is divided into three sections. Section one addresses the valorization of fruit and vegetable waste for high-value products. Section two focuses on the techno-economic and environmental impact assessment of fruit and vegetable waste biorefinery through real-life examples of the life cycle assessment. Section three presents integrated biorefineries, policies, and case studies.
This book is a valuable resource for food scientists, nutrition researchers, food industry professionals, academicians, and students in related fields.
