This new volume, Plant Food By-Products: Industrial Relevance for Food Additives and Nutraceuticals, takes an eco-friendly approach to examining the advantages of using plant food by-products as food additives and nutraceuticals, turning solid wastes into value-added items. The chapters, written by researchers and professionals working in the plant food industry, look at ways to make effective use of plant by-products by harnessing the power of the antimicrobial and nutraceutical power of plant and herb extracts. The measures and techniques discussed here will also help to improve the economics of processing crops. In addition, food processing industries generate a large amount of by-products and wastes, and the use plant food by-products can help mitigate growing environmental problems.



The antimicrobial power of plant and herb extracts has been recognized for centuries in natural medicine, and research proves the use of crops as a source of nutraceutical compounds. The by-products of plant food also contain high levels of various health-enhancing substances. This volume examines the potential uses of plant by-products as food additives (such as antioxidants, antimicrobials, colorants, flavorings, and thickener agents) and as nutraceuticals (antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, antiinflamatory, prebiotics, antiobesogenic, inmunomodulators, among others).

The chapter authors cover a range of issues, including the economic and environmental benefits of utilizing plant food by-products, extraction technologies, plant tissues as a source of nutraceutical compounds, and more.

The information provided in this volume will be valuable for researchers, scientists, and professionals working in the plant food industry.

J. Fernando Ayala-Zavala, PhD, is a professor and research leader of the Laboratory of Emerging Technologies at CIAD in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. He is the author of more than 59 peer-reviewed journal articles and 20 book chapters and is the editor of several books and scientific journals. Dr. Ayala-Zavala has also participated in more than 35 international studies. He is a professor of master and doctoral studies, tutoring research theses and teaching courses on topics related to postharvest of fruits and vegetables, minimal processing, bioactive compounds in plant tissues, functional foods, and science communication. Since the beginning of his career, Dr. Ayala-Zavala has been interested in the study and creation of basic and applied knowledge in the postharvest preservation of plant foods. Specifically, he has participated in projects related to the use of emerging technologies to ensure the safety and quality of horticultural products. His research interests include the use of natural compounds, irradiation, active packing, and edible films and conservation techniques. In addition, Dr. Ayala-Zavala has been working with countries such as Italy, Spain, France, USA, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, and Panama to share experiences on the aforementioned topics.

Gustavo González-Aguilar, PhD, is a research scientist at the Center of Research in Food Development (Mexico), specializing in fresh-cut of tropical and subtropical fruits, postharvest technology, antioxidants and functional foods, food preservation and development of new technologies. His primary research interest is the study the effects of abiotic and biotic stress on antioxidant status of fruit and vegetables. Another area of interest is the study of different postharvest treatments to prolong the shelf-life of fruits and vegetables and how these factors affects the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of bioactive molecules after simulated digestion in vitro and in vivo and their possible health benefits. He has authored over 150 scientific publications (JCR), including over 42 book chapters and eight books. He has participated in different networks on food preservation, fresh-cut, antioxidants, and functional foods.
