Prunus fruits are categorized as drupes or stone fruits. The fleshy mesocarp surrounding the pit is edible, and within this pit lies the kernel, which is a rich source of nutrients and phytochemicals. During Prunus fruit processing, a significant quantity of pits is produced, but typically thrown away, charred, or disposed of in landfills, leading to various environmental issues. This book explores the sustainability of nutrient-dense Prunus kernels and offers practical insights, case studies, and expert perspectives. Sustainable Kernel Utilization: Chemistry, Processing, Health Functionality, and Bio-Economy provides a comprehensive understanding of the compositional characteristics of Prunus kernels. It offers a road map for sustainable and innovative approaches utilized in Prunus kernels stewardship into valuable products. Readers will discover strategies to enhance the economic potential of Prunus kernels, while minimizing their environmental impact.
