About this Research Topic
A significant number of agro-byproducts, especially fruits and cereals, have been produced along the entire food supply chain. Generally, agro-byproducts are known as valuable sources of DFs. However, these are commonly discarded, with consequent environmental pollution and economic lost. Therefore, it is necessary to recycle them to not only reduce environmental impacts but also valorize them by developing value-added health products.
This Research Topic focuses on the extraction and characterization of DFs from agro-byproducts, and evaluation of their nutraceutical functionality and properties and their potential applications in functional food development. We invite authors to submit research articles, perspectives, and review articles that focus on but are not limited to the following topics:
-Novel techniques for extraction of dietary fibers from agro-byproducts;
-Modification and characterization of dietary fibers from agro-byproducts;
-Biological activities of dietary fibers from agro-products and agro-byproducts;
-Development and application of dietary fibers from agro-byproducts.
Keywords: Agro-Products Dietary; Fibers; Properties; Functionality; Applications
