“…Other methods to obtain the oil were also studied, such as extraction by Soxhlet with ethyl ether, with a yield of 30.72%; Bligh-Dyer, using methanol and chloroform after seed preparation, with drying and grinding [ 14 , 81 ]; and ultrasound assisted extraction and enzymatic aqueous extraction (although the latter has a low yield (11.15 g/100 g of seeds) [ 82 ].…”

“…Unlike the soursop pulp, which is more predominantly used in the food sector, properties of soursop seed oil indicate its use also for cosmetics. As an emollient in the production of cosmetic creams to replace synthetic products, soursop seed oil containing 42.94%–43.73% oleic acid and 29.5–30% linoleic acid favors chemical and physical characteristics of the products [ 14 ].…”

“…Considering the waste of the soursop production chain, finding and suggesting applications for this waste reduces undue disposal in the environment in the form of solid waste, and it also represents a financial opportunity for the producing regions [ 13 , 14 ]. Based on published works on the properties of soursop residues (standard-out fruits, peels, seeds, leaves, and others), the main objective of this work is to offer information that can contribute to future biorefinery projects and to the circular economy in the soursop production chain.…”

The increased international interest in the properties of soursop (Annona muricata) alerts us to the sustainability of productive chain by-products, which are rich in phytochemicals and other properties justifying their industrial application in addition to reducing the environmental impact and generating income. Chemical characteristics of soursop by-products are widely known in the scientific community; this fruit has several therapeutic effects, especially its leaves, enabling it to be used by the pharmaceutical industry. Damaged and non-standard fruits (due to falling and crushing) (30–50%), seeds (3–8.5%), peels (7–20%), and leaves, although they constitute discarded waste, can be considered as by-products. There are other less cited parts of the plant that also have phytochemical components, such as the columella and the epidermis of the stem and root. Tropical countries are examples of producers where soursop is marketed as fresh fruit or frozen pulp, and the valorization of all parts of the fruit could represent important environmental and economic perspectives. Based on the chemical composition of the fruit as well as its by-products and leaves, this work discusses proposals for the valorization of these materials. Soursop powder, bioactive compounds, oil, biochar, biodiesel, bio-oil, and other products based on published studies are presented in this work, offering new ideas for opportunities for the regions and consumers that produce soursop.

“…However, expectations about using natural compounds facing cancer must be cautious since even though some molecules have proven their potential, further studies are needed for the majority of the candidates' compounds [229]. Currently, the application of by-products extracts continues to be studied for their biological properties to be applied in the pharmaceutical industry [118] and other less common approaches, such as the use of cellulose to formulate nanofibrillated cellulose and cellulose nanocrystals or the use of oils extracted from seeds to formulate new functional pharmaceutical ingredients [230,231].…”

The increasing world population entails a great necessity to produce large amounts of food, leading to an increase in organic waste. Unlike traditional agriculture, based on the circular sustainability, modern agriculture produces tons of residues, which are accumulated in landfills or, in some cases, burnt. Numerous studies have demonstrated that agricultural residues are rich in bioactive compounds, particularly phenolic compounds, with antioxidant properties. Antioxidant activity has been widely related with protective effects and prevention potential for different diseases. Also, the scavenging and protective effects of antioxidant compounds have shown a connection and synergistic effect with other biological properties, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-aging, neuroprotective, cardioprotective, or antidiabetic. These compounds can be applied in several fields, including food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industry. This chapter will be focused on the interconnected bioactive properties and possible applications of plant-origin compounds with antioxidant potential to valorize different agricultural waste.

“…93 Soursop (Anona muricata L.). In 2021, Souza and colleagues 94 investigated the fatty acid composition of soursop seed oil, indicating that this oil is rich in oleic (42.9−43.7 g/ 100 g total fatty acids) and linoleic (29.5−30.4 g/100 g total fatty acids) acids, followed by palmitic (20.5−20.8 g/100 g total fatty acids), stearic (4.5−4.9 g/100 g total fatty acids), and palmitoleic (1.4 g/100 g total fatty acids) acids (Table 3).…”

Fruits are important foods and may be processed into juice, jam and snack products. During the processing, fruit seeds are generated as byproducts and discarded at a cost and with potential environmental contamination. Fruit seeds contain high contents of lipids together with bioactive compounds such as phytosterols, tocopherols, phenolics including flavonoids, and carotenoids and, thus, can be used to produce functional food oils. In this review, the chemical profiles of fatty acids and bioactive compounds, as well as potential health beneficial properties of fruit seed oils, are introduced. The clarification of these pieces of information could stimulate further interest in research and commercialization of fruit seed oils and enhance the profitability of the fruit production and processing industries while reducing environmental hazards.
