In the food sector, 30% of the food that is produced annually is wasted globally. 1300 million tons of food,
$1 billion in economic costs, $700 billion in environmental costs, and almost $900 billion in social costs total
this. In addition, the fruits and vegetables' peels, leaves, roots, tubers, and seeds that are thrown away
every year contribute to between 25% and 30% of the waste produced by the food sector. In Europe, one
of the industries that produce a significant volume of bio-waste is the food industry. Food waste in Europe
totals over 1.3 billion tons a year, of which 700 million tons come from agriculture. These waste materials,
which largely come from the processing of cereals, fruits, and vegetables, have a significant potential for
recycling.
Using increased conversion techniques, these leftovers can be converted into resources that could lead to
the production of bio-products that are theoretically sustainable, including energy, fertilizers, materials, and
molecules. In this regard, the valorization of residues and agri-food by-products is currently presented not
only as a requirement, but also as a chance to gain new products of high value and of great impact on the
economy of the industrial sector.
The use of kiwano peel extracts to obtain bioactive ingredients, eggplant fruit bio-residues, kiwi peels and
pineapple peels and crown leaves is studied and presented. Findings reveal that all of these bio residual
extracts from industrial bio-waste are good source of phenolic compounds with bioactive properties that
could be effectively incorporated into food matrices.
