Characterization and Energy Densification of Mayhaw Jelly Production Wastes Using Hydrothermal Carbonization.

Research Background: Mayhaw jelly, made from mayhaw berries from the southern United States, is a popular food product that on processing produces a berry pomace waste. Little information is available in the literature about this waste or how to valorize it. This study investigated this food production waste and its possibilities for conversion to a biofuel.
