Wastes to Products: Towards New High-Value Products from Extraction and Spray Drying of Citrus Peels

Summary

More about Professor Timothy Langrish Stay in touch

In this project, wastes will be turned into valuable and useful products.

Supervisor

Professor Timothy Langrish.

Research location

Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering

Program type

N/A

Synopsis

We will extract and spray dry pectin extract from orange peels in a two step extraction and direct drying process, rather than the current lengthier three-step extraction, crystallization and crystal drying process. Spray drying involves taking liquid extracts and spraying them into hot air to form dry powders.
