Environmental and Food Safety and Security for South-East Europe and Ukraine
This book covers important aspects of the field of food security and safety, ranging from fundamental production, through advanced water treatment technologies and detection of novel pollutants, to management and policy making. The discussion strives to develop an integrated approach to solving the associated problems by simultaneously considering sociological, ecological and economic aspects. Special focus is on the environmental management systems that should be integrated in the processes of environmental risk assessment. Also addressed are other technologies applied in the service of detecting, preventing and monitoring possible threats to food security and safety. With its variety of subjects, this volume can serve both as a textbook for advanced studies and as a useful reference source for professionals.
Microbial Bioprocessing of Agri-food Wastes
This book gives a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the valorization of agri-food waste and discusses the main process conditions needed to overcome the difficulties of using waste as alternative raw materials. It also discusses specific methodologies, opportunistic microbes for biomass valorization, the sustainable production of agri-food waste, as well as examines the assessment and management of bioactive molecules production from microbial-valorization of agri-food waste. The authors provide technical concepts on the production of various bio-products and their commercial interest including agri-food waste utilization in the microbial synthesis of proteins, the valorization of...
Effect of Emerging Processing Methods on the Food Quality
This text comprehensively covers novel, innovative technologies used in the food and beverage industries in order to provide safe and healthy foods for consumers. The research provided in these chapters aims to show that the traditional pasteurization and commercial sterilization of foods result in unacceptable quality and nutrient retention, creating an important need for alternative methods used to minimize undesirable reactions such as thermal decomposition or degradation. Emerging processing methods to minimize heat induced alterations in foods and their applications are covered in-depth, demonstrating that these methods are useful not only for the inactivation of microorganisms and enzy...
Green Extraction and Valorization of By-Products from Food Processing
Generating of agricultural wastes and by-products during the production, processing and consumption of agricultural commodities is unavoidable and over the last decades, an increased public interest has been shown in the challenge of food wastage. Apart from its significant quantities, the physicochemical characteristics of the various agricultural waste and by-products denote that there is immense potential for their reuse, recycle, and valorisation through various different processes. Green Extraction and Valorization of By-Products from Food Processing provides an overview about the valorization or reuse of agricultural wastes and by-products during the production, processing and consumpt...
Biorefinery Based on Olive Biomass
Biomass from olives as a raw material for biorefineries Recent advances in chemical composition determination Latest progress in the extraction and characterization of biocompounds Exploitation of by-products such as wastewater, pomace or olive leaves as raw materials for the production of renewable compounds Applications in bioenergy, renewable chemical production or biofuel production
Computational Approaches in Biotechnology and Bioinformatics

Sustainable Production Technology in Food
Sustainability is an essential part of our modern food production system. Carrying out food research that considers environmental, social, and economic factors, is a major objective for food producers and researchers. Strategic development and use of technology can greatly assist in the progression toward a more sustainable food system. Sustainable Production Technology in Food explores important scientific and practical aspects related to sustainable technologies used in all aspects of the food system. This book is organized into 13 chapters, that cover the main concepts related to sustainability and technology. Coverage includes current technology in the industry, technological developments to improve sustainability of food production (biopreservation, pulsed electric fields, high pressure processing, ultrasound, cold plasma, and nanotechnology), regulatory aspects, and future perspectives. - Presents a comprehensive discussion around the technological advances of sustainable food production - Addresses the current relationship between food production and sustainability - Focuses on how technology can impact the sustainability of the food production system
Food Waste Recovery
Food Waste Recovery: Processing Technologies, Industrial Techniques, and Applications, Second Edition provides information on safe and economical strategies for the recapture of value compounds from food wastes while also exploring their re-utilization in fortifying foods and as ingredients in commercial products. Sections discuss the exploration of management options, different sources, the Universal Recovery Strategy, conventional and emerging technologies, and commercialization issues that target applications of recovered compounds in the food and cosmetics industries. This book is a valuable resource for food scientists, technologists, engineers, chemists, product developers, researchers, academics and professionals working in the food industry. - Covers food waste management within the food industry by developing recovery strategies - Provides coverage of processing technologies and industrial techniques for the recovery of valuable compounds from food processing by-products - Explores the different applications of compounds recovered from food processing using three approaches: targeting by-products, targeting ingredients, and targeting bioactive applications
Environmental Security and Ecoterrorism
In recent years, the concept of environmental security has been adapted to include preparedness for acts of ecoterrorism. This latter term has now become synonymous with environmental terrorism where the perpetrator uses the environment as a weapon to harm an opponent. The intended outcome is usually large-scale deaths, severe damage to the environment, and instilling fear in the general population. This book explores various facets of ecoterrorism including the role of the state in pursuing and maintaining environmental security, a review of the concept of ecoterrorism, food security challenges and weaknesses, technological countermeasures to enable rapid detection or response, and existing pollution sources and hazards that may serve as targets for terrorist acts. In sum, this volume provides a useful overview for both the layperson and experienced researchers.
Valorization of Agro-Industrial Byproducts
This book covers sustainable approaches for industrial transformation pertaining to valorization of agro-industrial byproducts. Divided into four sections, it starts with information about the agro/food industry and its byproducts, including their characterization, followed by different green technologies (principle, process strategies and extraction of bioactive compounds) applied for the management of agro industry byproducts. It further explains biotechnological interventions involved in the value addition of these byproducts. Various regulatory and environmental concerns related to by-product management along with biorefinery concept and future strategies are provided as well. Features: ...
