Extraction of Antioxidants from Food Waste II

Dear Colleagues,

In the last twenty years, the extraction of antioxidants from food waste and by-products has been a topic of ever-increasing popularity, not only in the research field but also in the industrial sector. Different aspects have been investigated including the following: screening of food wastes as a potential source of antioxidant compounds; comparison and optimization of conventional, non-conventional, and greener extraction methods; encapsulation of extracted compounds with different carrier materials and through different technologies; food and non-food applications.

Despite a large number of publications on the extraction of antioxidants from food waste, there is still a great interest in the topic and a lack of examples of large-scale industrial implementations of research results.

This second edition Special Issue welcomes manuscripts that could fill the gap between research and industrial applications, addressing the following themes related to the extraction of antioxidants from food waste:

• Investigation of new functionalities of recovered antioxidants for both human health and specific technological applications.
• Assessment of antioxidants stability and efficiency in vivo and real systems.
• Emerging non-conventional greener extraction technologies.
• Evaluation of economic and logistic feasibility of extraction processes.
• Innovative food and non-food applications such as materials, cosmetics, pharmacy.
