Resource Extraction from Agricultural Products/Waste: 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to this Special Issue dedicated to the multifaceted realm of resource extraction from agricultural products and waste. This Special Issue delves into the intricate processes involved in the isolation and purification of valuable chemical constituents inherent in agricultural resources, particularly in the often-overlooked agricultural byproducts.

Beyond merely exploring extraction methodologies, this Special Issue seeks to underscore the significance of agricultural resources as reservoirs of valuable compounds waiting to be harnessed. This Special Issue focuses on both conventional extraction techniques and the latest innovations and environmentally friendly approaches that align with the principles of green chemistry by promoting the broader implications of sustainable resource utilisation in the context of circular economy principles.

Moreover, we welcome contributions that address the crucial aspect of scale-up and process commercialisation, paving the way for the practical implementation of extraction techniques in industrial settings. By bridging the gap between research and industrial applications, we aspire to facilitate the integration of efficient extraction processes into real-world scenarios, thereby maximising the utilisation of agricultural resources and minimising waste along with insights into their functional applications.

We also invite submissions that explore separation and purification techniques tailored to the specific characteristics of agricultural resources. By elucidating efficient separation processes, we aim to enhance the downstream processing of agricultural materials, unlocking their full potential for various industrial applications.

This Special Issue aims to foster a deeper understanding of the diverse array of agricultural resources and waste streams, positioning them as valuable reservoirs of chemical constituents with immense potential and thus not merely as byproducts. By emphasising the resource perspective, we hope to catalyse discussions and innovations that contribute to the sustainable utilisation of agricultural resources, thereby promoting environmental stewardship and economic viability.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Resources is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
