Novel Added-Products Manufacturing from Agro-Food Wastes
This special issue belongs to the section “Food Process Engineering“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The recycling of bioactive compounds from agro-food waste and their transformation into novel added-products appears to be an efficient approach to promoting a sustainability and circular economy. Over the last few years, the scientific community has been developing the valorization of polyphenols extracted from food by-products through lipophilization processes towards novel applications for food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. This Special Issue is focused on the recent developments of the polyphenols lipophilization processes, taking in account green chemistry approaches, including alternative solvents such ionic liquids and deep eutectic mixtures, microwave-assisted synthesis, new biocatalysts, eco-friendly chemical reactions, and new covalent functionalizations.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
