Valorization of Wastes/By-Products in the Design of Functional Foods/Supplements, Volume 106 provides up-to-date information on the valorization and application of by-products/wastes from fruit, vegetable, oil, cocoa, tea, coffee, nuts, seeds, cereals, legumes, citrus and animal-based products. Moreover, safety aspects as well as bioaccessibility/bioavailability of bioactives obtained from by-products/wastes are covered. As agricultural and food wastes constitute a significant problem worldwide because of their adverse effects on the environment, economy and society, this book studies the management and valorization of food wastes and their increasing significance worldwide.
As it is expected that the importance given to waste valorization will increase in the near future, contributing greatly to sustainability and circular economy, this book will help stakeholders such as governments, legislative bodies, policymakers, companies, the public, and all others place special emphasis on this topic.
- Covers valorization of by-products/wastes obtained from a variety of food products
- Provides detailed information about the applications of components extracted from wastes
- Presents a comprehensive evaluation of by-products/wastes by ensuring data on their safety aspects, bioaccessibility and bioavailability
Esra Çapanoğlu Güven, a full professor at the Department of Food Engineering, and leading international food chemist, is known for her expertise in processing and food matrix effects on the content and bioavailability of bioactives. She has also made important contributions to investigating methods to improve the bioavailability of bioactive compounds, as well as waste valorization. She has published three books, 30 chapters and more than 300 international/national scientific papers. She was selected as a Highly Cited Researcher in 2019, 2022, and 2023 by Clarivate, Web of Science Group. She has also been indicated as the top 2% of scientists of the main subfield discipline according to the list created by Stanford University for the last 4 years (2020-2023). She also received Georg Forster Prize from Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in July 2022. She has been selected as an Associate Member for the Turkish Academy of Sciences starting from 2023. She is an Assoc. Editor in ACS Omega and Editorial Advisory Board Member of Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry (JAFC), Food Frontiers, Journal of Berry Research, Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry, and several others.
María D. Navarro-Hortal is PhD in Human Nutrition and Food Technology by the University of Granada, Spain. During the PhD, she has been working in the evaluation of foods and food by-products on aging and age-related diseases using the experimental model Caenorhabditis elegans. In that period, she did a three-month international internship in the Bioenergetic Lab on Marche Polytechnic University in Ancona, Italy. Furthermore, she developed teaching in the physiology department of the University of Granada. She has published more than 25 articles in peer-reviewed journals and several book chapters and has participated in numerous research conferences. The current research line addresses aging and associated diseases (cancer, neurodegenerative, cardiovascular) in relation to the role of diet, redox biology and mitochondria.
