Furthermore, successful processing case studies using valorization are presented. As the expansion of palm tree fruit crops processing industries (manufacture of syrup, honey, non-alcoholic beverages, flours, confectionery products, fruit paste, etc.) is generating growing quantities of wastes in different forms, this book covers sustainable aspects.
Written by an international team of contributors, this title is aimed at professionals and enterprises who aspire to develop real, high-scale industrial applications for palm tree and fruit residue valorization.
- Includes palm tree wastes and fruit processing by-products, their quantification and classification
- Brings identification, quantification and characterization of palm-tree and fruit wastes
- Thoroughly explores biotechnological, agricultural, environmental and energy applications of fruit processing by-products
- Contains case studies of a palm tree fruit processing by-products valorization
Agricultural or food engineers who work in the palm groves and in the palm tree fruit processing industry and are seeking to improve their by-products management by actively utilizing them in effective applications. Food scientists and technologists; Energy, Environmental, agricultural and chemical engineers. Professional working in the food and fruit processing industry
