Abstract

ABSTRACT: Fruit and vegetable residues have high levels of nutrients and phytochemicals such as in edible parts. However, they are not exploited and disposed properly. Advanced methodologies used to extract and characterize bioactive compounds, such as chromatography and mass spectrometry have been studied. Obtaining new materials in food and pharmaceutical industries have also been outlined in these works. This review analyzed a number of studies on sustainable applications utilizing fruit and vegetable residues in new products with bioactive properties in order to promote a circular economy.
