The Objective of this book is to explain and discuss the various green processing strategies, so the Book has been divided into distinct sections which cover 5 sub themes i.e. Green technologies in Food Production, Post-Harvest Management and Value Addition for Sustainable Value Chains, Green and eco-friendly techniques in food packaging, Waste management and valorization.
The First section aims at obtaining insight in various green technologies like non thermal processing technologies. In the Second section, technologies related to waste valorization are discussed, and in Third Section, post-harvest management and value addition are described in detail. The Last Section deals with the concerns of various stakeholders in this food value chain and also few topics related to eco-friendly techniques.
The editors hope that the readers of this book will get a broad overview on all the relevant topics and technologies and will also find valuable information on Green perspectives in the Food Processing Sector. This book is a welcome resource for Food Engineers/Food Scientists/Food Technologists and academia.
