Traditional hot-lye and steam peeling have drawn increasing concerns regarding water and energy consumption, need for proper management of high organic load and salinity wastewater, and negative environmental impacts. Therefore, development of alternative sustainable peeling methods to reduce the use of chemicals and water, while maintaining or enhancing the product quality is very important.
