Processing of fruits produces large volumes of wastes and these wastes can create pollution problems and also result in loss of valuable biomass and nutrients. The Handbook of Fruit Wastes and By-Products: Chemistry, Processing Technology, and Utilization deals with the various techniques and methods involved in processing of fruit by-products.Although there are some general books on by-products of food processing industry but they are limited in context to the by-products of some particular fruits. This is the first book devoted to fruit processing by-products of wide range of important fruits including tropical, subtropical and temperate fruits; and their possible utilization in food and non-food industries.Key FeaturesDiscusses the valorization of fruit processing by-productsCovers the role of the by-products as prebiotics and dietary fibersPresents extraction techniques of bioactive compounds from fruit wastesThis book provides in-depth information about the fruit processing by-products, their nutritional composition, biochemistry, processing technology of by-products and the utilization of by-products into various food applications. This book also offers comprehensive coverage on the role of the fruit by-products as prebiotics and dietary fibers, their potential as the source of bioactive ingredients and their utilization in the development of novel functional foods.It also includes various novel technologies useful in extraction and evaluation of the functional components from these fruit processing by-products. The book addresses how the proper utilization of fruit processing byproducts would not only emerge as a source of extra profit to the fruit processing industry but also will help in lessen the environment pollution due to these fruit processing by-products.

Document from the year 2014 in the subject Engineering - General, Basics, grade: A, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, language: English, abstract: This book documents the efforts towards thermal characterization of templated nanostructures using an infrared (IR) thermography based non-contact technique. One dimensional bismuth telluride Bi2Te3 nanostructures were grown using anodic alumina (AAO) template assisted electrodeposition technique. An infrared thermography based technique was then developed for the in-plane thermal diffusivity measurements of these templated nanocomposites. The thermal diffusivity of the nanowires alone was estimated through comparing the experimental results with the predictions made by a first order lower bound model (FOLBM). A mathematical background of the proposed technique with simulation studies is also reported.Infrared thermography techniques are widely used for non destructive testing (NDT) and evaluation. The application areas are greatly varied: from water entrapment and moisture evaluation of buildings, degradation of EPROM (erasable programmable read only memory) chips and printed circuit boards, defect detection and characterization in turbine blades, medical and veterinary applications such as thermal coronary angiography, humane breast tumors, neuromuscular disorders, public services as forest fire detection and monitoring of traffic roads, to name a few.
