Valorization of agri-food industry by-products through polyphenols applications in fruit processing

Abstract

Among the numerous developments that have taken place in the agri-food sector in recent decades, sustainability and the related concept of circular economy have turned into an area of utmost importance. Although avoiding, or at least minimising, food loss and waste along the supply chain is highly desirable, the processing of raw materials is inevitably linked to the occurrence of side streams, sometimes also referred to as by-products (Schieber, 2017). On one hand, the plant by-products constitute a serious environmental issue because they often emerge seasonally and are prone to microbial decay. On the other hand, they are an abundant source of valuable compounds, including polyphenols, that could be recovered and used as biologically active substances or as natural food ingredients. Enzyme-assisted extraction of polyphenols is considered as a green technology, offering several advantages in comparison to the conventional methods (Gligor et al., 2019).Strawberry is one of the most ec ...
