Sustainable Kernel Utilization: Chemistry, Processing, Health Functionality and Bio-Economy de Mohd Aaqib Sheikh

Sustainable Kernel Utilization: Chemistry, Processing, Health Functionality and Bio-Economy

Editat de Mohd Aaqib Sheikh, Nisar Ahmad Mir, Mohd Khalid Gul
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 aug 2026
Prunus fruits are categorized as drupes or stone fruits. The fleshy mesocarp surrounding the pit is edible, and within this pit lies the kernel, which is a rich source of nutrients and phytochemicals. During prunus fruit processing, a significant quantity of pits is produced, typically thrown away, charred, or disposed of in landfills, leading to various environmental issues. This book explores the sustainability of nutrient-dense prunus kernels and offers practical insights, case studies, and expert perspectives. Sustainable Kernel Utilization provides a comprehensive understanding of the compositional characteristics of prunus kernels. It offers a roadmap for sustainable and innovative approaches utilized in prunus kernels stewardship into valuable products. Readers will discover strategies to enhance the economic potential of Prunus kernels while minimizing their environmental impact.
Key Features:
  • Provides a comprehensive understanding of prunus kernels, including their nutritional composition, toxic compounds, bioactive compounds, nutraceutical potential, and diverse applications
  • Discusses conventional and novel techniques and innovations employed during post-harvest handling and storage of prunus kernels
  • Addresses the current processing challenges, opportunities, and sustainable strategic approaches to utilizing prunus kernels as an alternative nutrient-dense resource
  • Covers waste reduction strategies, food security, sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and diverse applications of prunus kernels
