“…Meanwhile, because the high‐moisture hulls have high sugar contents, they can be used for fermentation and bioenergy production without the need of drying (Çelik & Demirer, 2015; Holtman et al., 2015). Wet almond hulls may also be used for culturing of certain microorganisms to produce food‐grade fungi (Singh et al., 2020) or archaea to produce biodegradable plastics (Wang & Zhang, 2021).…”

Tree nuts are important economic crops and are consumed as healthy snacks worldwide. In recent years, the increasing needs for more efficient and effective postharvest processing technologies have been driven by the growing production, higher quality standards, stricter food safety requirements, development of new harvesting methods, and demand to achieve energy saving and carbon neutralization. Among all, the technologies related to drying, disinfection, and disinfestation and downstream processes, such as blanching, kernel peeling, and roasting, are the most important processes influencing the quality and safety of the products. These processes make up the largest contribution to the energy consumptions and environmental impacts stemming from tree nut production. Although many studies have been conducted to improve the processing efficiency and sustainability, and preserve the product quality and safety, information from these studies is fragmented and a centralized review highlighting the important technology advancements of postharvest processing of tree nuts would benefit the industry. In this comprehensive review, almonds, walnuts, and pistachios are selected as the representative crops of tree nuts. Current statuses, recent advances, and ongoing challenges in the scientific research as well as in the industrial processing practices of these tree nuts are summarized. Some new perspectives and applications of tree nut processing waste and by‐products (such as the hulls and shells) are also discussed. In addition, future trends and research needs are highlighted. The material presented here will help both stakeholders and scientists to better understand postharvest tree nut processing and provide technological recommendations to improve the efficiency and sustainability, product quality and safety, and competitiveness of the industry.

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Tree nuts are consumed as healthy snacks worldwide and are important economic crops. In this chapter, post-harvest processing technologies of tree nuts are discussed, with focus on the drying, disinfection, disinfestation, and downstream processing technologies (blanching, kernel peeling and roasting) for the control and preservation of product quality and safety. Almonds, walnuts, and pistachios are selected as the representative crops for the discussion. Current status, recent advances, and challenges in the scientific research, as well as in the industrial productions are summarized. Some new perspectives and applications of tree nut processing waste and byproducts (such as shells and hulls) are also introduced. The contents presented in this chapter will help both scientists and stakeholders to better understand the tree nut processing and provide technological recommendations to improve the throughput, efficiency, and sustainability of the processes, and preserve the quality and safety of the products.

“…Fungi play an immense role in the food industries. Fungi act as the source of the food and a wide range of the food ingredients is obtained from fungi such as acidulants, carotenoids, colourants, enzymes, flavours, polyunsaturated fatty acids, proteins and vitamins (Copetti 2019;Singh et al 2020b). The utilization of the fermentation-derived ingredients in food sector is increasing year after year such as gelling agents, flavour compounds and flavour enhancers.…”

“…The utilization of the fermentation-derived ingredients in food sector is increasing year after year such as gelling agents, flavour compounds and flavour enhancers. Fungi have a great potential in fermenting fruits and grains for cheese, bread and alcoholic beverages production (Singh et al 2020b). Over past few years, commercial cultures of yeast have gained importance and are increasingly used for production of fermented cheese, ethanol and milk from lactose and whey solutions (Awasti and Anand 2020).…”
