Description

Main raw material for aroma products are vegetable or part of vegetables (fruits, juices, natural spices, herbs,...) A major sour ce of solid waste generation during aroma processing is the pressing/extraction steps as peels, seeds, pulps are separated from the fruit juice. In some cases the aroma recovery is part of the juice production and then, the by-products are the same than indicated for juice production.

Valorisation techniques

Depending on the type of raw material and type of extraction process, wastes will be or not able to be used as feed for animals. Hidro-alcoholic extraction or organic solvent can leave unaceptable residue in waste for feed use. These wastes can be used for biogas production, even if they contain alcoholic residue.
