Sustainable Kernel Utilization: Chemistry, Processing, Health Functionality, and Bio-Economy

Prunusfruits are categorized as drupes or stone fruits. The fleshy mesocarp surrounding the pit is edible, and within this pit lies the kernel, which is a rich source of nutrients and phytochemicals. DuringPrunusfruit processing, a significant quantity of pits is produced, but typically thrown away, charred, or disposed of in landfills, leading to various environmental issues. This book explores the sustainability of nutrient-densePrunuskernels and offers practical insights, case studies, and expert perspectives.Sustainable Kernel Utilization: Chemistry, Processing, Health Functionality, and Bio-Economyprovides a comprehensive understanding of the compositional characteristics ofPrunuskernels. It offers a road map for sustainable and innovative approaches utilized inPrunuskernels stewardship into valuable products. Readers will discover strategies to enhance the economic potential ofPrunuskernels, while minimizing their environmental impact.Key Features:Provides a comprehensive understanding ofPrunuskernels, including their nutritional composition, toxic compounds, bioactive compounds, nutraceutical potential, and diverse applicationsDiscusses conventional and novel techniques and innovations employed during post-harvest handling and storage ofPrunuskernelsAddresses the current processing challenges, opportunities, and sustainable strategic approaches to utilizingPrunuskernels as an alternative nutrient-dense resourceCovers waste reduction strategies, food security, sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and diverse applications ofPrunuskernels
