Fruits and vegetables are essential for human nutrition, delivering a substantial proportion of vitamins, minerals, and fibers in our daily diet. Unfortunately, half the fruits and vegetables produced worldwide end up as wastes, generating environmental issues caused mainly by microbial degradation. Most wastes are generated by industrial processing, the so-called by-products. These by-products still contain many bioactive compounds post-processing, such as macronutrients (proteins and carbohydrates) and phytochemicals (polyphenols and carotenoids). Recently, the recovery of these bioactive compounds from industry by-products has received significant attention, mainly due to their possible health benefits for humans. This chapter focuses on the bioactive potential of fruit and vegetable by-products with possible applications in the food industry (functional foods) and in the health sector (nutraceuticals).
水果和蔬菜对人类营养至关重要，在我们的日常饮食中提供了很大一部分维生素、矿物质和纤维。不幸的是，全球生产的水果和蔬菜有一半最终成为废物，产生了主要由微生物降解引起的环境问题。大多数废物是由工业加工产生的，即所谓的副产品。这些副产品在加工后仍含有许多生物活性化合物，如大量营养素（蛋白质和碳水化合物）和植物化学物质（多酚和类胡萝卜素）。最近，从工业副产品中回收这些生物活性化合物受到了广泛关注，主要是因为它们可能对人类健康有益。本章重点介绍水果和蔬菜副产品的生物活性潜力及其在食品工业（功能性食品）和健康领域（营养保健品）的可能应用。
