Canadian fruit and vegetable by-products available for use in food product and ingredient manufacturing: An opportunity for upcycling, cost-cutting and sustainability

In 2022, Vineland published a report on fruit and vegetable by-product streams available in Canada for repurposing within the food industry. The presentation will discuss the large volumes of material available, locations of availability and quality of the material. Further, considerations for accessing and using the material and potential functionality of components within these by-product streams, including some findings from Vineland’s in-house research, will also be presented.

Our Speaker:

Alexandra Grygorczyk, PhD,  Research Scientist, Sensory and Consumer Service, Vineland Research & Innovation Centre
