Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Agri-food wastes and by-products are rich in many (bio)active ingredients. Taking advantage of the principles of circular economy and sustainability, there are numerous emerging new ideas and applications for these wastes/by-products. They include food product innovation, the development of new functional food products, antioxidative and antimicrobial properties, etc.
By turning these wastes into high-added-value ingredients, they can also increase the incomes of producers and companies by contributing to new markets and other food-related processing industries.
Nevertheless, this Special Issue aims to go a step further. More than identifying new bioactive compounds for direct use in food, we aim to present emerging technologies and ideas for future applications in other fields, and the incorporation and development of new food-based materials for various applications.
Dr. Natércia Teixeira
