Sustainable Development and Pathways for Food Ecosystems:
Integration and Synergies is a science-based reference which
focuses on several illustrated patterns that explore the roles
played by the agri-food ecosystems, their functions and needs, and
the importance of the interdependencies among them. This book
explores the relationships and interdependencies between food
ecosystems, highlighting the role each entity has in exploiting,
transforming, preserving and conserving the others. It is a great
resource of information on the ecosystems that surround the food
supply chain and includes all processes from primary production of
food through consumption. Sections cover the agricultural phase,
processing and transformation, storage and consolidation,
packaging, transportation and the management of waste and losses.
This will be a useful reference for academicians, researchers and
all the personnel involved with agri-food sector management.
Future Foods: Global Trends, Opportunities, and Sustainability
Challenges highlights trends and sustainability challenges along
the entire agri-food supply chain. Using an interdisciplinary
approach, this book addresses innovations, technological
developments, state-of-the-art based research, value chain
analysis, and a summary of future sustainability challenges. The
book is written for food scientists, researchers, engineers,
producers, and policy makers and will be a welcomed reference.
This book emphasizes various challenges and opportunities in
biopolymers and identifying their potential applications in various
fields including food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and electronics.
It offers an overview of the environmental-related issues,
regulatory and legislative issues, green extraction
technologies, and sustainability challenges. It will be interesting
and valuable for researchers working in the related field.
Valorization of Biomass to Bioproducts: Organic Acids and Biofuels
focuses on recent technological developments and related challenges
surrounding the bioprocessing of biomass for important organic
acids and biofuels (waste to energy) for industrial applications.
Chapters present information on biomass as a source for
fermentation to produce important organic acids and next generation
biofuels. Additionally, the book includes chapters on the role of
synthetic/systems biology and metabolic engineering in producing
these valuable biomolecules of industrial interest.
Nanotechnology in Paper and Wood Engineering: Fundamentals,
Challenges and Applications describes recent advances made in the
use of nanotechnology in the paper and pulp industry. Various types
of nano-additives commonly used in the paper industry for
modification of raw material to enhance final products are
included, with other sections covering the imaging applications of
nano-papers and nano-woods in pharmaceuticals, biocatalysis,
photocatalysis and energy storage. This book is an important
reference source for materials scientists and engineers who are
looking to understand how nanotechnology is being used to create
more efficient manufacturing processes in for the paper and wood
industries.

Valorization of Agri-Food Wastes and By-Products: Recent Trends,
Innovations and Sustainability Challenges addresses the waste and
by-product valorization of fruits and vegetables, beverages, nuts
and seeds, dairy and seafood. The book focuses its coverage on
bioactive recovery, health benefits, biofuel production and
environment issues, as well as recent technological developments
surrounding state of the art of food waste management and
innovation. The book also presents tools for value chain analysis
and explores future sustainability challenges. In addition, the
book offers theoretical and experimental information used to
investigate different aspects of the valorization of agri-food
wastes and by-products. Valorization of Agri-Food Wastes and
By-Products: Recent Trends, Innovations and Sustainability
Challenges will be a great resource for food researchers, including
those working in food loss or waste, agricultural processing, and
engineering, food scientists, technologists, agricultural
engineers, and students and professionals working on sustainable
food production and effective management of food loss, wastes and
by-products.
