- Book Synopsis
- This volume in our Sustainability: Contributions through Science and Technology series reviews the use of alternative green technologies (pressurized liquid and super-critical fluid extractions) for grape biomass valorization. Environmental sustainability and circular economy are discussed in relation to agro-industrial waste in the winemaking industry. The waste contaminates water and soil and, in large quantities, it has been related to bad odors, a high content of organic matter in water, and greenhouse gas emissions over the entire winemaking industry. Here, the authors illustrate how green extraction of commercially valuable substances can be scaled up at an industrial level.Features :Reports on waste valorization in the winemaking industry and converting the waste into more useful products including oils, antioxidants and other valuable materialsExplores research which contributes to environmental sustainability and circular economy in the winemaking industryDescribes other ways to reduce the ecological footprint of the wine industry such as using less fertilizer, more benign pesticides and reduction of water footprintProposes options for a potential wine waste biorefining. Reviews alternative uses of agro-industrial wine wastes as sources of additives for the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.
- About The Author
- Patricia Joyce Pamela Zorro Mateus - Chemist and MSc. in Biochemistry from the National University of Colombia. I have academic experience in topics such as characterization of bacterial communities, population control by inhibition of quorum sensing between bacteria and currently, in valorization of wastes. In this field I have been working in biodegradation of xenobiotics from fungi and bacteria to find degradation products that could be reused, and I was also working with grape agro-industrial wastes to find natural oils, antioxidants, and biologically functional compounds. I have nine years of teaching experience; I currently work as a full-time chemistry professor at the Universidad Libre - Bogotá. In the past, I have also taught at the Jorge Tadeo Lozano University, Manuela Beltrán University and at the Open and Distance University (UNAD), in which I designed the Natural Chemical Reactions course (module, laboratory guide and virtual course) for the Chemistry career.Siby Inés Garcés Polo - Chemical Engineering, B Sc., Msc and PhD from Universidad Pública de Navarra (Spain). Researcher and Research Chief of Faculty of Engineering in Universidad Libre Barranquilla. My experience is focused on gas adsorption processes for environment applications. In the last study, porous materials for CO2 capture and catalysts for dry reforming reaction were developed and studied, respectively. In academic terms, I currently teach Environmental Management and Chemistry. I am also interested in studying wastewater treatment, valorization of biomass and pyrolysis.
