Transforming Organic Agri-Produce into Processed Food Products : Post-COVID-19 Challenges and Opportunities EPUB

The demand for organic foods has been expanding at a steady rate, and during the COVID-19 epidemic, it increased even further, as consumers regarded these foods as healthier and better for immunity than conventional foods. This book covers all aspects of organic agriculture and how to transform organic agriculture into processed foods for global demand after the COVID-19 pandemic.

The chapters discuss the post-COVID-19 impacts on organic agriculture and processed food, as well as recent milestones in basic and applied organic agriculture and organic food product sectors. Current issues such as international policies, intellectual property rights protection, the global scenario of organic certification, regulatory framework, and hindrances for farmers and organic food value chain participants are discussed. In addition, valuable chapters related to the production of nutraceutical organic foods like soy protein hydrolysate, fox nuts (Euryale ferox), and Red Dacca bananas are incorporated into the volume.
