Download or read book Agro Wastes for Packaging Applications written by Sneh Punia Bangar and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-08-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food and agricultural waste is a huge global issue that has detrimental effects on society, the economy, and the environment. Plant leaves, stems, roots and peels (outer leaves and stems) are among the wastes and by-products from agriculture and the food business, along with residues from oil production, fruit and vegetable peels, and seeds. High concentrations of dietary fiber, phytochemicals, cellulose, and hemicellulose are typically found in these residues. As the next environmentally conscious step of waste valorization, research from recent years has demonstrated that employing organic ingredients/biodegradable fibers generated from waste and by-products in the food packaging business may be an efficient strategy to reduce the quantity of food waste and by-products. In recent years, there has been a lot of interest in finding alternative polymer materials as high-value novel packaging materials through the valorization of agricultural waste. Thus, utilizing agricultural wastes and by-products as raw materials for food packaging could help cut down on the amount of waste produced. Agro-Wastes for Packaging Applications provides an update on the strategies for valuing agricultural waste and how these might be used in packaging. It also includes recent research on these approaches and presents an innovative strategy for developing sustainable, green, and biodegradable packaging options. A detailed overview of the packaging application of valorized agricultural waste materials is discussed, and concept clarification is achieved using flowcharts and figures supported by the latest research investigations. These agricultural leftovers are abundant sources of polysaccharides, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, which can be processed further utilizing various physicochemical techniques and other unconventional techniques to create nanocellulose fibers or crystals. The main goal of this book is to provide food experts and the general public with superior, environmentally friendly, sustainable packaging materials that can be used in place of plastic polymers. Key Features Contains abundant information on advanced valorization techniques for different types of agricultural wastes Provides information on possible applications of component/constituents obtained by the valorization Discusses the impact of the incorporation of these valorized components in different packaging systems Reviews the legal standards and future trends in the commercialization of these derived polymers in food packaging industries

Download or read book Advances in Agrophysical Research written by Stanisław Grundas and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2013-07-31 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of this book was born due to the rapid increase of the interest in excellence of agricultural production in the aspect of both – the quality of raw material for food production as well as in the aspect of environment protection. Agrophysics is a field of science that focuses on the quality of agriculture as a whole i.e. the interaction between human and environment, especially the interaction between soil, plant, atmosphere and machine. Physics with its laws, principles and rules is a good tool for description of the interactions, as well as of the results of these interactions. Some aspects of chemistry, biology and other fields of science are also taken under consideration. This interdisciplinary approach can result in holistic description of processes which should lead to improvement of the efficiency of obtaining the raw materials to ensure a sufficient amount of food, safe for human health. This book could be regarded as the contribution to this description. The reader can find some basic as well, as more particular aspects of the contemporary agriculture, starting with the soil characteristics and treatment, plant growth and agricultural products’ properties and processing.

Download or read book Dry Construction written by Karsten Tichelmann and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-12-10 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detail-Practice: Dry Constrcution liefert einen Überblick über die gängigen Trockenbausysteme, gegliedert nach den Bauteilen Wand, Decke, Boden, und ihren Einsatzmöglichkeiten. Der Band ist konzipiert als Arbeitshandbuch für Entwurf und Planung. Bei der Trockenbauweise im Innenausbau werden keine durchnässenden Baustoffe wie Beton oder Putz zur Errichtung der Bauteile benötigt, sondern „Trockenbausysteme". Diese Bauweise ist nicht nur kosteneffizient, weil sämtliche bauphysikalischen Anforderungen bezüglich Wärme-, Kälte-, Schall-, Brandschutz etc. erfüllt werden können. Unter Einsatz neuer Materialtechnologien ermöglicht diese Bauweise auch eine unerschöpfliche Gestaltungsfreiheit, da die Oberflächen nahezu grenzenlos formbar sind und zudem multifunktional, indem sie Beleuchtung, Heizung, Kühlung übernehmen können. Der allgemeine Teil wird ergänzt durch Ausführungsbeispiele bestehender Projekte mit übersichtlichen Leitdetails sowie durch Sonderkonstruktionen beispielsweise in Feuchträumen. Das Buch zeigt das Potential der Bauweise durch den Einsatz neuer Materialien und Bausysteme auf. Regelzeichnungen veranschaulichen wie in den Vorgängerbänden gängige Konstruktionsdetails. Karsten Tichelmann ist Leiter des Instituts für Trocken- und Leichtbau an der TU Darmstadt. Jochen Pfau ist Prof. für Light-Tech, Trocken- und Leichtbauweisen an der TU Darmstadt. Beide sind Autoren des Trockenbau Atlas vom R. Müller Verlag (nur dt. Sprachausgabe).
