Sustainable utilization of agri-food wastes and by-products for producing value-added products (for cosmetic, pharmaceutical or food industrial applications) provides an opportunity for earning additional income for the dependent industrial sector. Besides, effective valorisation of wastes/by-products can efficiently help in reducing environmental stress by decreasing unwarranted pollution. The major focus of this review is to provide comprehensive information on valorisation of agri-food wastes and by-products with focus laid on bioactive compounds and bioactivity. The review covers the bioactives identified from wastes and by-products of plants (fruits, exotic fruits, vegetables and seeds), animals (dairy and meat) and marine (fish, shellfish seaweeds) resources. Further, insights on the present status and future challenges of sustainably utilizing agri-food wastes/by-products for value addition will be highlighted.
农业食品废弃物和副产物的可持续利用，为依赖型产业生产附加值产品（用于化妆品、制药或食品工业应用）提供了额外收入的机会。此外，有效地利用废物/副产物可以通过减少不必要的污染，有效地帮助减轻环境压力。本综述的主要重点是提供关于农业食品废物和副产物增值的综合信息，重点放在生物活性化合物和生物活性上。该综述涵盖了从植物（水果、外来水果、蔬菜和种子）、动物（乳制品和肉类）和海洋（鱼类、贝类和海藻）资源的废物和副产物中鉴定出的生物活性物质。此外，还将重点介绍可持续利用农业食品废物/副产物进行附加值生产的现状和未来挑战。
