Each chapter deals with each sustainable application, such as biotechnological, agricultural, environmental, and energy applications. Identification, quantification and characterization of pomegranate wastes is also covered, besides pomegranate residues for livestock breeding. The book also explores the possibilities of implementing bioactive compounds (derived from fruit processing by-products) in food products (thickner, gelling agent, etc.). A dedicated chapter to pomegranate health benefits is also covered, listing the main beneficial effects, including antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, antimicrobial, antimutagenic, and anti-inflammatory activities.
Edited by a team of experts in the field, this book is a great asset for researchers, decision-makers, industrialists, farmers, engineers, professionals and producers involved in the field of pomegranate cultivation and processing.
- Covers pomegranate harvesting wastes and the fruit processing by-products
- Provides each pomegranate by-product sustainable application detailed by sector category
- Includes pomegranate processing by-products quantification and their classification
- Gathers the best practices for the rationalization of lignocellulosic materials, while increasing the economic benefits
- Explores pomegranate health and cosmetic benefits
