Description
“Bioprocessing in Food Science” is a series of volumes covering the entirety of unit operations in food processing. This latest volume disseminates the recent advances, breakthroughs, and challenges of the valorization of fruit and vegetable industry waste.

Food nutraceuticals and functional foods are in great demand among consumers all over the world. Academia, researchers, and food industries are working in a scattered manner, and different technologies developed at each level are not compiled in one place for different stake holders. Normally foods which we eat are enriched only for certain nutrients and deficient for others. Nutritional properties of food can be enhanced by microbial fermentation. Bioactive peptide produced from fermentation has antioxidative, anticancer and anti-diabetic properties. Increasing efforts are needed from the food industry to focus research on peptides and their use as food grade preservatives and functional food ingredients

This groundbreaking new volume is a comprehensive compilation of all the research that has been carried out so far, their practical applications, and the future scope of research. An earnest effort to capture every possible detail and present an up-to-date compilation of scientific literature, including their own research work, for the benefit of the science has been carried out by the editors and experts in their respective fields who contributed. Students, researchers, product developers, and industry professionals will find the book an invaluable resource and a one-of-a-kind tool.
