Conference Abstract Book

Conclusion and Future Directions Key Conclusions Green solvents and sustainable extraction techniques are transforming the food sector by enabling efficient recovery of valuable bioactive compounds while minimizing environmental impact. These approaches reduce reliance on hazardous conventional solvents, offering significant environmental and economic benefits through reduced waste and energy consumption. Future Research & Innovation Needs Enhanced Solvent Recovery Developing more efficient methods for green solvent recovery and recycling to further reduce costs and environmental impact. Industrial Scaling Scaling up sustainable extraction processes for industrial application while maintaining efficiency and economic viability. Cost Reduction Reducing initial investment costs for green extraction technologies to accelerate adoption across the food sector. "To fully realize their potential and foster a truly circular food system, continued innovation in green solvents and extraction technologies is essential. The integration of these sustainable approaches represents not just an environmental imperative, but a pathway to a more efficient, high-quality, and economically viable food sector." Thank You 17/17
