Extraction and Valorization of Plant Metabolites from Agroindustrial Biomass

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Plants delves into the utilization and extraction methodologies of bioactive compounds derived from agroindustrial biomass. With a broad scope, this Special Issue not only fosters applied scientific research in smaller-scale, high-value industrial applications but also explores the potential of biomass in energy production, with a particular emphasis on the valorization of biomass waste. Topics that will be covered in this Special Issue span from phytochemical identification studies and biotechnological applications to investigations into the pharmacological properties of bioactive agents, including their use in medicines, cosmetics, and fragrances. Furthermore, this Special Issue will address sustainable fuel solutions derived from biomass, highlighting the multifaceted potential of the plant metabolites present in agroindustrial biomass across various sectors.
