THE USE OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLE WASTE IN THEPRODUCTION OF BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS AND ITSAPPLICATION

Considering the significant contribution of the food production and processing industry in the productionof waste, there are concerns about the waste of fruits and vegetables from agri-food industries that are partof this industry, which cause nutritional, economic and environmental problems. Fruit and vegetableprocessing operations produce significant by-product waste, which constitutes about ۲۵-۳۰% of the entirecommodity group. These wastes can include skin, pulp and seeds, which can also be rich in bioactivecompounds such as macronutrients (proteins and carbohydrates) and phytochemicals (polyphenols andcarotenoids). These bioactive compounds have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer propertiesand are used in both pharmaceutical and food industries. They are used as food additives, drug supplementsusing drug delivery systems or food matrices to obtain functional food products. Therefore, the efficient useof these compounds can be aligned with the goals of sustainable development. Also, these by-products can beused in the packaging industry and the production of food coatings such as active packaging, biopolymersand biocomposites. The purpose of this review is to identify bioactive compounds (phenolic compounds,alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, etc.) and modern extraction methods (pulsed electric field (PEF), supercriticalfluid extraction (SFE), etc.) and their application in different industries.
