The tomato processing industry is one of the world's most important markets. This industry aims to optimise production, minimise energy costs and waste streams while ensuring high-quality products. This sector produces substantial amounts of by-products frequently disposed of as waste rather than reintroducing them with a new intent into the supply chain. However, these by-products are rich in bioactive compounds (BC), including carotenoids, fibre, which exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and chemopreventive properties, and cardiovascular protection. Reusing these compounds is favourable to reducing the environmental impact and enables the development of added-value products with various possible uses such as food and feed additives, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, etc. This review summarises relevant issues towards the recovery and valorisation of BC from industrial tomato by-products within a circular economy context.
番茄加工业是世界上最重要的市场之一。该行业旨在优化生产，将能源成本和废物流降至最低，同时确保产品质量高。该部门产生大量副产品，这些副产品经常作为废物处理，而不是以新的用途重新引入供应链。然而，这些副产品富含生物活性化合物（BC），包括类胡萝卜素、纤维，它们具有抗氧化、抗炎和化学预防特性以及心血管保护作用。再利用这些化合物有利于减少环境影响，并能够开发具有各种可能用途的增值产品，如食品和饲料添加剂、营养保健品、药妆品等。本综述总结了在循环经济背景下，从工业番茄副产品中回收和利用生物活性化合物的相关问题。
