Full Description
Fruit Seeds and Peels for Sustainable Biomaterials covers how to use fruit and vegetable waste to produce bioplastics, which are environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional petroleum-based plastics. The book offers promising opportunities to reduce the carbon footprint of the packaging industry, while promoting recyclability, sustainability, and a circular economy. The chapters encompass the different methods of waste valorization in detail and a compilation of research investigations around the globe regarding the valorization of different fruit processing waste. Industry wastes are rich sources of polysaccharides, viz., cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, etc., which can be further treated to synthesize nanocellulose crystals or fibers using different physicochemical methods and other non-conventional methods. The book showcases how to use these products in packaging applications to give food professionals and society better green, sustainable packaging as a suitable replacement for plastic polymers. The book gives readers comprehensive insights into the potential of fruit seeds as a sustainable source of biomaterials, offering valuable scientific information on the concept of technologies and knowledge on the utilization of bio-based materials in food preservation, which will help them minimize the use of traditional non-biodegradable plastic packaging materials.
