Bioactive compounds, including terpenoids, polyphenols, alkaloids and other nitrogen-containing constituents, exert various beneficial effects arising from their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds can be found in vegetables, fruits, grains, spices and their derived foods and beverages such as tea, olive oil, fruit juices, wine, chocolate and beer. Agricultural production and the food supply chain are major sources of food wastes, which can become resources, as they are rich in bioactive compounds. The aim of this review is to highlight recent articles demonstrating the numerous potential uses of products and by-products of the agro-food supply chain, which can have various applications.
生物活性化合物，包括萜类化合物、多酚类、生物碱和其他含氮成分，通过其抗氧化和抗炎特性发挥各种有益作用。这些化合物存在于蔬菜、水果、谷物、香料及其衍生食品和饮料中，如茶、橄榄油、果汁、葡萄酒、巧克力和啤酒。农业生产和食品供应链是食品废弃物的主要来源，但它们可以成为资源，因为它们富含生物活性化合物。本文旨在强调最近的一些文章，这些文章展示了农业食品供应链的产品和副产品的许多潜在用途，这些用途具有多样性。
