About this Research Topic
The field of sustainable production systems is increasingly focused on achieving better resource utilization, waste reduction, and minimizing environmental impact. A key component of this effort is the circular economy, which emphasizes the reuse and recycling of materials to create a closed-loop system. One promising area within this framework is the extraction of phenolic compounds from industrial by-products and wastes. Phenolic compounds are known for their antioxidant properties and potential health benefits, making them valuable for various applications. However, the current state of knowledge reveals significant gaps in the efficient extraction and utilization of these compounds from waste materials. Recent studies have shown promising results in the extraction processes, but there is still a need for more comprehensive research to optimize these methods and fully understand the potential applications of phenolic compounds in a circular economy.
This research topic aims to explore the innovative utilization of phenolic compounds extracted from industrial by-products and wastes. The main objectives include investigating the most effective extraction methods, evaluating the beneficial effects of these compounds, and identifying potential applications that can contribute to a more sustainable economy. Specific questions to be addressed include: What are the most efficient extraction techniques for phenolic compounds from industrial waste? What are the health and environmental benefits of these compounds? How can these compounds be integrated into existing production systems to enhance sustainability?
To gather further insights into the extraction and application of phenolic compounds within a circular economy, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
• Efficient extraction methods for phenolic compounds from industrial waste and by-products
• Evaluation of the antioxidant and health benefits of phenolic compounds derived from waste materials
• Potential industrial applications of phenolic compounds, including in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics
• Environmental impact assessments of using phenolic compounds from waste in various applications
• Case studies on the successful integration of phenolic compounds into circular economy models
• Technological advancements and innovations in the extraction and utilization of phenolic compounds
