Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
Chia Seeds: Applications in the Agri-food Industry is a comprehensive guide to the properties of chia biomass (seeds, leaves, and ingredients/products thereof) and their utilization in the agri-food industry and beyond. The book is based on the analysis of chia value chain and summarizes the scientific, technical, and health aspects of chia (Salvia hispanica L.). Divided into 3 sections, it fills a critical gap in the literature by providing a comprehensive overview of chia biomass available to address key global bioeconomy and United Nation Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) challenges.
User will find advanced information for the utilization of chia-based biomass based on their specific properties, application of eco-efficient technologies for their processing and conversion into a variety of products for different groups of consumers, including those with special needs (e.g. celiac patients, vegans and vegetarians). In addition, the book offers practical guidance on the development of new value chains and their integration within the existing agri-food systems.
