Eco-friendly extraction procedures able to isolate the different components of the agri-food by-products represent an attractive challenge to increase the waste’s value, and, at the same time, solve the issues usually related to their disposal. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the 12 chapters in \u003ci\u003eNutraceutics from Agri-Food By-Products\u003c\/i\u003e deeply analyses a specific agri-food chain, highlighting the main components recovered in the processing of food, seafood, and dairy wastes and by-products. Specifically, a green approach to the extraction of active molecules is described, as well as the industrial application of agri-food wastes and by-products, and their chemical, physical, and biological properties. Such properties are suitable for use in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical fields. This circular approach could be usefully employed in the industry to develop and commercialize new nutraceuticals and\/or functional food that guarantee a considerable increase in the economic worth of the wastes, while producing beneficial effects on human health. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFood technologists and biotechnologists in research and industry as well as researchers in pharmaceutical sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUmile Gianfranco Spizzirri, PhD,\u003c\/b\u003e is a permanent technical staff member at the Department of Pharmacy, Health and Nutritional Sciences of the University of Calabria, Italy. He has published more than 120 research articles in refereed international journals as well as numerous book chapters and conference presentations. His research interests focus on 1) Enhancement of waste products from the agri-food chain through eco-friendly extraction techniques; 2) Design and synthesis of polymeric systems useful in the food and pharmaceutical fields; 3) Validation of innovative analytical methods for the determination of natural and xenobiotic contaminants in complex matrices. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 October 2023\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley-Scrivener\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781394174447\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e448\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29.92\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44314972323980,"sku":"9781394174447","price":212.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781394174447.jpg?v=1780157046","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781394174447","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
