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:
Fruit Seeds and Peels for Sustainable Biomaterials explores the utilization of fruit and vegetable waste in the production of bioplastics as environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional petroleum-based plastics. The book presents innovative approaches to reducing the carbon footprint of the packaging industry while advancing principles of recyclability, sustainability, and the circular economy.
The chapters provide an in-depth examination of various waste valorization techniques and compile global research efforts focused on the transformation of various fruit processing by-products. These industrial wastes are rich in polysaccharides, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, which can be further treated to synthesize nanocellulose crystals or fibers using different physicochemical and nonconventional methods.
The book highlights the application of these biomaterials in packaging, offering food professionals and other stakeholders sustainable alternatives to traditional plastic polymers. It delivers comprehensive insights into the potential of fruit seeds as a renewable source of biomaterials, and presents valuable scientific information on the technologies involved in using bio-based materials for food preservation. These insights aim to reduce the use of non-biodegradable plastic packaging materials.
