Nutraceuticals and functional food from food and agro-industrial wastes

Abstract

Food, industrial, and agricultural wastes are of great value in the current world because of their effectiveness as natural sources of bioactive composites, which can further induce by-products that add value to life. Restoring bioactive composites from similar scribes to create functional/healthy nourishments is an effective method to exercise trash. Various investigations in the past have shown that agricultural waste can be developed by the processing industries and are productive in bioactive composites, similar to phenolic composites, organic acids, carotenoids, flavonoids, etc. The increasing demand for substituting artificial antioxidants and antimicrobial composites with real ones has prompted a search for these bioactive composites from industrial resources, notably fruit and vegetable processing waste. The agro-industrial products from varied food manufacturing diligence release a considerable amount of fruit and vegetable waste that causes deposits in the external tips. Several secondary metabolites, vitamins, and minerals have been extracted from colorful food waste. In the future, the prismatic curtain-raisers could give a contemporary approach to increasing the production of composites for use as nutraceuticals or as basics in designing functional foods. Hence, this study discusses their practical application in developing nutraceutical products, health benefits, bioprocess development, and the benefits of incorporating food waste products.
