Green Prespectives in Food Processing

The primary objective of this publication is to provide an in-depth exploration and examination of the diverse green processing strategies that are currently available. To achieve this, the book has been organized into distinct segments that cover five sub-themes, namely, green technologies in food production, post-harvest management and value addition for sustainable value chains, eco-friendly techniques in food packaging, waste management, and valorization.

The first section of the book is dedicated to providing an understanding of various green technologies, with a specific focus on non-thermal processing technologies. The second section delves into the discussion of waste valorization technologies, while the third section provides a comprehensive overview of post-harvest management and value addition. The final section addresses the concerns of various stakeholders in the food value chain and also covers a few topics related to eco-friendly techniques.

The editors of this book hope that readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of all the relevant topics and technologies related to green perspectives in the food processing sector. This publication is a valuable resource for food engineers, food scientists, food technologists, academia, and anyone else who is interested in learning more about green processing strategies in the food industry.
