Technologies to Recover Polyphenols from AgroFood By-products and Wastes: Applications in Different Fields covers the most used technologies to extract and recover polyphenols from all kinds of by-products and wastes generated by the food industry, restaurant and agricultural sectors. Polyphenols are characterized by different AgroFood by-products and waste sources, hence this book explores the practical applications of these polyphenols in the development of functional foods and pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. Containing definitions, case studies, applications, literature reviews, and coverage of recent developments, this book will be a welcomed resource for food scientists, including those working in sustainability, agriculture and engineering.
- Promotes a circular economy by discussing the valorization of these compounds
- Features case studies that enable the reader to understand the potential of several polyphenols and the possibilities regarding their incorporation into several matrixes
- Presents tools for the development of new lines of research or in support of ongoing investigations with solutions for existing challenges
