Resumen
Descripción
Waste from the fruit and vegetable industry represents a significant percentage of total food loss, also contributing to environmental pollution. The overproduction of the fruit and vegetable industry in the months of greatest production offers unique opportunities to add value to this waste (co-products). Within the framework of the Circular Economy, the recovery of said waste for the production of innovative bio ingredients can open up great market opportunities if they are used efficiently. In this context, this review addresses the current situation of residues derived from fruits and vegetables as sources of functional ingredients (fiber, polyphenols, and pigments) suitable for incorporation into food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. In addition, a comprehensive and systematic approach addressed to includes the sustainable technologies generally used for the efficient extraction of bioactive compounds from fruit and vegetable residues.
