The article analyzes technologies and production methods of food and biologically active additives from secondary plant resources developed in Russia and abroad. We have studied a classification of secondary resources resulting from the processing of vegetable raw materials. It is found, that the most interesting (in terms of macro and micronutrients) are secondary resources resulting from the processing of fruit, vegetables and grapes, in the manufacturing process of vegetable oil, flour and cereals industry. It is concluded that, despite a significant number of currently developed and implemented technologies, the development of relevant ones provides complex processing of vegetable raw materials, with the release of a wide range of food and dietary supplements, resulting in a number of physiologically and technologically functional properties
