“…The increased value of RP due to plants treatments with biostimulants, determined in our study, is consistent with findings from the research conducted by Koleska et al (2017), who evaluated the antioxidative activity in tomato plants treated with a biostimulant based on free amino acids. In turn, the experiment carried out by Sidhu et al (2017) showed that tomatoes treated with a biostimulant in the form of a seaweed extract were characterized by a decreased reducing power compared to the control, irrespective of cultivar.…”

Advancement in crop cultivation technologies strives to increase the yield and improve the quality of crops under minimized threats posed to the natural environment. Application of biostimulants is a treatment which increases crop yield and quality particularly after plants exposure to stress conditions. The objective of the work was to determine changes in yield and nutraceutical potential of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) 'Atlanta' after application of biostimulant. A field experiment was conducted in three growing seasons (2014-2016). Terra Sorb Complex biostimulant was applied in the growing season in the form of single or double spraying in two concentrations (0.3% and 0.5%). Number of biostimulant applications and its concentration modified yield and quality of crop and also the nutraceutical and antioxidative potential of soybean. Foliar application of biostimulant improved yield of soybean (increased by 25% compared to the control) without any negative effect on the nutritive value of seeds. The application of biostimulant increased (compared to the control) number of pods and seeds (32%), plant height (38%), phenolic content (34%), flavonoids content (74%), and reducing power (210%). Taking into account biometric traits of soybean plants, positive effects were observed in the case of single biostimulant applications with lower concentration. The conducted study demonstrated a significant increase in the soybean yield and antioxidant potential after double application of the tested biostimulant at higher concentration. On the other hand, total fat and protein content was higher in plants treated once with a lower product concentration.

“…The same biostimulants were applied on cherry tomato plants and resulted in higher total phenol, ascorbic acid and lycopene content, as well as higher lipophilic antioxidant activity in fruits of treated plants (Caruso, De Pascale, Cozzolino, Cuciniello, et al, 2019), so they were suggested as an effective sustainable tool for enhancing tomato fruit yield and functional quality both under conventional and organic vegetable systems. An increment in lycopene and β‐carotene was obtained in organic tomatoes treated with Stimplex, the biostimulator based on A. nodosum extract, in the research of Sidhu, Nandwani, Wang, and Wu (2017). Chanthini et al (2019) evaluated seaweed extract (from the green seaweed Ulva flexuosa ) as a seed priming agent, towards the improvement of agronomic traits of cherry tomato, and reported positive responses in terms of enhanced seed germination capabilities and seedling vigour indices.…”

Plants must cope with different environmental stresses during their whole lifetime. Abiotic stresses like drought, salt, mineral nutrition disturbances and temperature stress are commonly interconnected through some physiological events in stressed plants, such as the synthesis of protective plant compounds as a response to stress. Many of these, produced within plant primary or secondary metabolism, act as functional compounds not exclusively in plants but in other organisms as well. Concurrently, many of the active compounds in biostimulants which can support plant stress tolerance and productivity in adverse growth conditions are the metabolites or intermediates that may influence the plant's edible parts nutritional quality. Such effects of biostimulants application are not elucidated enough, therefore, we aimed to give an overview of recent advances in the research related to the interplay among abiotic stress, plant response, biostimulants effects and plant‐derived functional food, focusing on plant metabolites as the link which connects the environment with the food chain.

“…Several important components like phytoene, lycopene, gamma-carotene, neurosporene and phytofluene are derived from tomatoes. The antioxidant property of lycopene helps to mitigate prostate cancer as well as other cardiovascular diseases (Sidhu et al 2017;Giovannucci et al 2002).…”

In the past few years, we have been very familiar with the waste hierarchy concept of the 3 R’s, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. This review article aims to suggest a possible way to reuse the agro-waste sector. It will focus on the zero waste food industry. While consuming our day-to-day food unknowingly we throw away some of the important portions of fruits and vegetables which can help us fight diseases and stay healthy. Therefore, we need proper management to utilize these beneficial components present in those fruit scrapes. An abundant amount of food waste is been produced during the processing of food from the different food industries. In addition to this, agro wastes like peels, seeds, etc. are also generated from fruit and vegetable agriculture. This paper mainly focuses on the agro-waste of the food industry, which can be consumed when the bioactive compound is extracted and is available as a functional food. The bioactive compounds have the potential to control blood pressure, diabetes, inflammation, etc. Thus, by incorporating these bioactive compounds we can enhance the quality of food. Recently functional food is consumed by a large population for its beneficial effect on our body.
