Plants need to be protected against pests and diseases, so as to assure an adequate production, and therefore to contribute to food security. However, some of the used pesticides are harmful compounds, and thus the right balance between the need to increase food production with the need to ensure the safety of people, food and the environment must be struck. In particular, when dealing with fruit and vegetable wastes, their content in agrochemicals should be monitored, especially in peel and skins, and eventually minimized before or during further processing to separate or concentrate bioactive compounds from it. The general objective of this review is to investigate initial levels of pesticide residues and their potential reduction through further processing for some of the most contaminated fruit and vegetable wastes. Focus will be placed on extraction and drying processes being amid the main processing steps used in the recuperation of bioactive compounds from fruit and vegetable wastes.
植物需要得到保护以抵御病虫害，从而确保充足的产量，进而促进粮食安全。然而，一些使用过的农药是有害化合物，因此必须在增加粮食产量的需求与确保人类、食品和环境安全的需求之间达成恰当平衡。特别是在处理果蔬废弃物时，应监测其农药含量，尤其是果皮中的含量，并最终在进一步加工以从中分离或浓缩生物活性化合物之前或过程中使其降至最低。本综述的总体目标是调查一些污染最严重的果蔬废弃物中农药残留的初始水平及其通过进一步加工可能的减少情况。重点将放在提取和干燥过程上，这些过程是从果蔬废弃物中回收生物活性化合物的主要加工步骤。
