| PRODUCT TYPE | Paperback (Paperback) |
Description
Fruit Seeds and Peels for Sustainable Biomaterials explores innovative ways to transform fruit and vegetable waste into eco-friendly bioplastics, offering an alternative to petroleum-based plastics. This book emphasizes the importance of sustainable practices within the packaging industry, encouraging a shift toward materials that promote recyclability and support the concept of a circular economy. By detailing waste valorization methods and compiling global research, the book demonstrates how industry waste, particularly rich in polysaccharides, can be harnessed to create new packaging solutions. This approach helps reduce carbon emissions and provides a path to greener, more sustainable food packaging. Beyond its focus on bioplastics, the book thoroughly examines physicochemical and non-conventional techniques for converting cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin into nanocellulose crystals or fibers. It presents a wide array of scientific insights into the utilization of fruit seeds as renewable biomaterials, highlighting their application in food preservation and sustainable packaging. Readers gain a comprehensive understanding of current technologies, research advancements, and practical knowledge, empowering food professionals and society to minimize reliance on non-biodegradable plastic packaging materials and embrace bio-based alternatives for a healthier environment.
