Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fruit and vegetables are widely considered to be healthy food, and their consumption in large quantities every day is encouraged by experts. As a result of the accelerated pace of life today, processed products and nutritional supplements from fruit and vegetable are becoming more and more popular. Processing, however, is plagued by two main problems: food quality decrease and processing waste pollution with no value-added utilization. Food quality decrease is generally related to processing factors, food raw material properties, storage conditions, etc. Fruit and vegetable processing pollution is due to the various food waste, such as peel, residue, seed, leaf, processing water, etc., which can be developed as nutritional or useful byproducts to meet zero-waste and green process goals. Many studies have focused on these areas, producing useful information, but many aspects remain unsolved due to the vast variety of fruits and vegetables and the different processes for each.
This Special Issue focuses on the quality promotion of fruit and vegetables after processing and the utilization of byproducts to create a clean process. The issue welcomes a broad range of studies related to fruit and vegetable characterization, processing, storage, quality, waste analysis, byproduct utilization, etc. Original research articles and reviews are accepted.
