• Compositional evaluation of hot-pressed rapeseed cake for the purpose of bioplastic production 

  Jõgi, Katrin; Malenica, Dunja; Jõudu, Ivi; Bhat, Rajeev (2021)

  Rapeseed is widely cultivated for biodiesel or food-grade oil production. As the oil production process generates huge amounts of wastes and by-products (e.g. oil press cake and meal) that have relatively high crude protein ...

• Valorization of fruits and vegetable wastes and by-products to produce natural pigments 

  Sharma, Minaxi; Usmani, Zeba; Gupta, Vijai; Bhat, Rajeev (Taylor & Francis, 2021)

  Synthetic pigments from petrochemicals have been extensively used in a wide range of food products. However, these pigments have adverse effects on human health that has rendered it obligatory to the scientific community ...

• Reduction of ammonia emissions by applying probiotics on litter in a commercial breeding poultry house 

  Eglīte, S.; Ilgaža, A.; Butka, M. (2021)
