Fruit and vegetable by-products: novel ingredients for a sustainable society

A comprehensive review of food waste valorization for the sustainable management of global food waste

“…147 So, alternative green extraction solvents are benecial and sustainable with regard to uncertain toxicity. 151,152 However, anaerobic digestion (AD) is considered a robust approach for the effective bioconversion of FVW into value-added products. 152 Thus, the adoption of advanced and sustainable extraction strategies for the efficient bioconversion of HW will open new avenues for food waste valorization (Table 2).…”

“…126 Among the adopted approaches, anaerobic digestion (AD) is the most efficient for large-scale industrial bioconversion of fruit and vegetable wastes. 152 However, various valueadded products, including bioenergy, biofuel, biohydrogen, biodiesel, bioethanol, and volatile fatty acids, have been extracted from horticultural wastes. 125,177,178 Similarly, a previous observation 179 noted the potential of agri-food wastes for the sustainable management of wastewater through bioconversion of FVW biomass.…”

Influence of the feed composition and the spray drying process on the quality of a powdered mixture of blackberry (Rubus glaucous Benth)

“…The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified fruits and vegetables as essential components of a healthy diet, as they can reduce the risk of some non-communicable diseases, such as heart disease and certain types of cancer. Therefore, worldwide, consumer trends point to foods that contain beneficial components that provide consumers with both physical and mental well-being, as well as emotional well-being, which is why some natural ingredients from fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds and botanicals (Majumder & Annegowda, 2021).…”

By-Products Revalorization with Non-Thermal Treatments to Enhance Phytochemical Compounds of Fruit and Vegetables Derived Products: A Review

“…These strategies can be focused on obtaining potential ingredients for the food industry, cosmetics, and/or the pharmaceutical industry. The use of plant by-products supports the low-carbon economy by using renewable resources, offering environmental and economic benefits and improving efficiency in the food industry [ 7 , 10 ].…”
