Fruit and Vegetable Waste Utilization and Sustainability presents strategies to address the fruit and vegetable waste generated from agriculture and industrial processing.

Beginning with the introduction of waste management, this book is divided into three sections. Section one addresses the valorization of fruit and vegetable waste for high-value products. Section two focuses on the techno-economic and environmental impact assessment of fruit and vegetable waste biorefinery through real-life examples of the life cycle assessment. Section three presents integrated biorefineries, policies, and case studies.

This book is a valuable resource for food scientists, nutrition researchers, food industry professionals, academicians, and students in related fields.

Zielgruppe

Food scientists and nutrition researchers as well as food industry professionals working toward zero waste and academics and students studying related fields

Jaiswal, Amit K.
Dr. Amit K. Jaiswal is an esteemed academic and researcher currently serving as a Lecturer at the School of Food Science and Environmental Health, Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin)-City Campus, Ireland. Recognised globally for his scholarly contributions, Dr Jaiswal has been recognised among the top 1% of the world's most cited academics in 2023 and 2024 by Clarivate Analytics, a distinction given to researchers who have demonstrated exceptional influence in their fields over the past decade. In addition, Stanford University has listed him among the top 2% of scientists worldwide for four consecutive years (2021-24). Dr Jaiswal's research focuses on converting lignocellulosic biomass and algae (micro- and macroalgae) into biofuels, biomaterials, and biochemicals through innovative process development, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle assessment. He brings extensive expertise in bio-based materials, such as lignin and microcellulose/nanocellulose, and their applications in sustainable food packaging, water purification, and adhesives. His proficiency in green extraction techniques, including deep eutectic solvents (DES) and ultrasound-assisted processes, enables the valorisation of agri-food biomass into high-value products. With more than 125 peer-reviewed publications, 50 book chapters, and five edited books, Dr. Jaiswal's contributions to scientific literature have significantly impacted food science and biotechnology. His work has received over 10,000 citations, with an h-index exceeding 50. He also serves on the editorial boards of key international journals, including Food Quality and Safety (Oxford University Press), Foods, Biomass (MDPI) and JSFA Reports (Wiley).
