Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Reducing natural resources caused by the growth of the world's population, meeting the growing demands of consumers, and preventing environmental pollution requires the development of sustainable and efficient procedures that include the valorization of wastes. Industrial food wastes (bark, seeds, pomace, etc.) are commonly used for the recovery of high value-added bioactive compounds (proteins, vitamins, carotenoids, minerals, carbohydrates, fatty acids, tocopherols, and polyphenolic compounds) that can be further used in the development of supplements and products (food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products). The valorization of food wastes is one of the current areas of research that has attracted a lot of attention. In this way, a serious ecological problem of waste disposal in landfills can be overcome.
This Special Issue, “Development of the sustainable extraction procedures of bioactive compounds from industrial food wastes and their application in the products for human uses”, aims to present the traditional and advanced extraction procedures of bioactive compounds that follow the principles of green chemistry.
The topics covered by this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Sustainable sources of bioactive compounds;
- Utilization of industrial food wastes;
- Energy-efficient extraction procedures of bioactive compounds;
- Advantages/disadvantages of conventional or advanced extraction techniques for recovery of bioactive compounds;
- Application of recovered bioactive compounds in food/cosmetic/pharmaceutical products.
The Special Issue is open for the publication of research articles, short communications, and review articles covering the above-mentioned topics.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
