Polyphenols Extraction From Vegetable Wastes Using a Green and Sustainable Method

Abstract: Food systems have the potential to support human health, respecting the environmental sustainability principles. Food sustainability, enclosed in the concept of environmental sustainability, involves different aspects, including the recycling of food waste derived from the agri-food production chain, the use of biotechnologies ensuring the sustainability of the recovery processes of bioactive compounds from food waste and, last but not least, the awareness of having to consume and waste less food. Food loss an… Show more

“…As a result, current research is directed towards the identification of new green extraction technologies, and the recovery of the most valuable secondary metabolites in the vegetable wastes; due to their valuable content of secondary metabolites, grapes and olives appear to be on the top of the interest list [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Another focus point in the current research consists of understanding the relationships between the matrix and the secondary metabolites embedded in it, by both improving the extraction process and obtaining products with increased bioaccessibility and bioavailability in humans [17][18][19][20][21].…”

“…For example, the production of fennel, a common horticultural crop, has grown consistently around the world and Italy is one of the major European producers, with approximately 532,000 tons.y -1 [6]. This significant amount of fennel residues contains numerous bioactive compounds, including polyphenols, that may be effectively reused in the medical or nutraceutical fields, thus increasing the added values of these wastes [7,8]. The bioactivity of fennel components is even enhanced after the aerobic microbial transformation during the composting process, and their isolation as humic matter from such a green compost provides an ecological material to be usefully and profitably employed in other remunerative sectors [9].…”

“…23 Although fruit wastes are eco-friendly, sustainable, and costeffective sources, finding appropriate extraction methods to obtain a high extraction efficiency without further utilization of hazardous chemicals is as important as the source of bioactive compounds to improve the sustainability of the food system. 24 However, novel or modified conventional extraction methods can contribute to the valorization of fruit waste bioactives in two ways, namely, (1) they may annihilate the disposal of toxic chemicals to the environment as a result of extraction processes and (2) they may enable maximal efficiency of extraction in a shorter period of time, which at the end leads to a reduction in the production costs. Conventional extraction methods are generally based on an organic solvent, often confronted as liquid−liquid or solid−liquid extraction methods.…”
