Food and agricultural by-products are leftovers or wastes from parts of foods, fruits, vegetables, and animal sources which are obtained after processing. Agricultural by-products include peels and rinds from citrus fruits, pineapple, mango, and banana. Other notable ones are pomace from apple, olive, red beet, and those from winemaking. Also, whey from milk, straws, hulls, and brans from grains are among the top agricultural by-products. These by-products often impact the environment and the social-economic sectors when they are disposed of. But with the recent advances in biotechnology and scientific research, scientists have found usefulness in some of these by-products as sources of valuable nutraceuticals, a term used to refer to chemical entities present in foods that have the propensity to impact health for disease prevention and treatment. This book entitled “Food and Agricultural By-products as Important Source of Valuable Nutraceuticals” presents detailed information about major agricultural by-products that are rich in nutraceuticals. The nature and the type of nutraceuticals that they contain and their health-promoting benefits were presented. The editors and chapter contributors are renowned experts from key institutions around the globe. This book will be useful to students, teach­ers, food chemists, nutritionists, nutritional biochemists, food biotechnologists, among others.
