Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, focused on the sustainable recovery of bioactive compounds from waste and by-products. This Issue provides a platform to discuss innovative strategies and technologies for extracting valuable bioactive compounds from various waste streams, promoting waste minimization, and contributing to a circular economy. We aim to explore advanced extraction techniques, process optimization, and the diverse applications of these bioactive compounds in fields such as pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. Submissions should emphasize sustainability, environmental impact reduction, and practical solutions that advance the field of bioactive compound recovery.
We welcome original research papers, reviews, and case studies on topics including, but not limited to, the following areas:
- Novel extraction techniques for bioactive compounds from waste;
- Optimization of recovery processes;
- Applications of recovered bioactive compounds in various industries;
- Environmental benefits and sustainability of recovery methods;
- Technological innovations in the extraction and utilization of bioactive compounds.
We look forward to your valuable contributions and participation in this Special Issue.
