Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The food production chain generates a significant amount of waste, waste that could be conveniently used to produce foods by utilizing the circular economy approach and reducing the carbon footprint. These aspects are becoming increasingly valued by consumers and therefore represent an opportunity for the food industry to highlight them in packaging and marketing. This will aid in the generation of a sustainable strategy associated with food production. Moreover, the nutritional value of these foods represents an essential aspect in food production that, alongside sustainability, should be considered for the direct benefit of potential consumers.
We invite the submission of original research, review articles, and opinions on innovative technologies for the utilization of vegetal ecofriendly and eco-sustainable sources of ingredients for food fortification.
