Resource use optimization in SME juice plants in Northern Finland: Utilization of annual shoots of Picea abies
Shoots of Picea abies (Norwegian spruce) are traditional material for syrup production in the small and medium sized food industry in Northern Finland. The shoot products are believed to be beneficial to one’s health because of their purity and nutritional value, e.g. high mineral, ascorbic acid and...
