In this book, 15 papers, covering some of the latest advances in pretreatment and bioconversion of crop residues, are presented. Research results dealing with wheat straw, corn stover, sweet sorghum bagasse, hazelnut shells, oil palm empty fruit bunch, olive tree pruning biomass, and other residues of crop harvest and processing are discussed. Pretreatment methods, such as auto-catalyzed and acid-catalyzed hydrothermal processing, steaming, alkaline methods, and different organosolv approaches, are reported. Bioconversion with enzymes and microbes for producing fermentable sugars, xylitol, and biomethane are also included.

Technology: general issues --- oil palm empty fruit bunch --- lignin recovery --- lignin purity --- digestible cellulose --- organosolv pretreatment --- Ferulic acid --- Feruloyl esterase --- Xylanase --- Synergy --- Xylo-oligosaccharides --- olive tree harvest --- lignocellulose nanofibers --- circular economy --- valorization --- pretreatments --- high-pressure homogenization --- biorefinery --- hazelnut shells --- hydrothermal pretreatment --- hemicelluloses --- oligosaccharides --- antioxidant activity --- corn stover --- pretreatment --- steam refining --- enzymatic hydrolysis --- alkaline extraction --- lignin --- organosolv --- fractionation --- characterization --- Paulownia --- alkaline pretreatment --- enzyme cocktail --- glycosyl hydrolase --- termite metagenome derived enzymes --- sugarcane bagasse --- soybean husks --- palm empty fruit bunches --- recombinant enzymes --- techno-economic study --- castor plant --- biodiesel --- bioethanol --- alkali pretreatment --- delignification --- cellulose --- cellulose-containing materials --- Penicillium verruculosum --- biomass --- enzyme --- consolidated bioprocessing --- wheat bran --- rice straw --- acidic hydrolysis --- fermentation --- aeration --- detoxification --- wheat straw --- bioconversion inhibitors --- ethanolic fermentation --- barley crop residue --- biochemical methane potential --- material degradability --- anaerobic indicators --- biogas feasibility --- biogas emissions --- n/a

This book is generally focused on food choice and which factors are associated with the decisions that define people’s eating behaviour. These factor are highly variable and include influences from the surrounding environment as well as the individual characteristics of each person. The book includes a number of chapters that address these issues from different points of view. Some explore the psychology of food choices or the cultural aspects and tradition, as well as the influence of surrounding contexts. Others focus on the role of lifestyle on eating practices and health motivations, but also the food marketing and the sensory aspects of food, as a way to incentive consumption. Finally, sustainability concerns and environmental impacts can also shape and help change people’s food choices.Within the chapters gathered on this book you will find key topics that apply to everyday food choices or that can help target food consumption goals towards better health, more sustainable food chains and happier life styles.

Natural polymers are already used for a variety of biomedical applications, including drug delivery, wound healing, tissue engineering, biosensors, etc. However, they have also found other applications, for example, in the food industry, the pharmaceutical industry, as firefighting materials, water purification, etc. Different polysaccharide and protein-based systems have been developed. They each have their properties that render them useful for certain applications such as the water solubility of alginate, the thermo-sensitivity of chitosan, the abundance of cellulose and starch, or the cell adhesion and proliferation of gelatin and collagen. This Special Issue will explore the design, synthesis, processing, characterization, and applications of new functional natural-based polymers.
