Agriculture and its related industries produce annually a vast amount of byproducts and waste which comprise a large proportion of global waste. Only a small percentage is managed with environmentally acceptable procedures, while a large proportion is either incinerated or discarded into nearby open fields, causing serious environmental burdens. Since these byproducts exhibit a rich nutritional and phytochemical content, they may be considered as raw materials for various industrial applications, initiating the need for the development of sustainable and eco-friendly methods for their valorization. Among the various methods considered, Solid-State Fermentation (SSF) constitutes an intriguing eco-friendly bioprocess, being suitable for water-insoluble mixtures and providing products with improved stability and depleted catabolic suppression. Thus, there are several literature studies highlighting the aspects and efficacy of SSF for improving the nutritional and phytochemical contents of diverse agro-industrial waste. The review herein aspires to summarize these literature results with a special focus on the enhancement of their antioxidant potency. For this purpose, specific keywords were used for searching multiple scientific databases with an emphasis on the most recent studies and higher impact journals. The presented data establish the usefulness and efficacy of the SSF bioprocess to obtain fermentation products with enhanced antioxidant profiles.
农业及其相关产业每年产生大量副产品和废弃物，这些占全球废弃物的很大一部分。只有一小部分采用环境可接受的程序进行处理，而大部分要么被焚烧，要么被丢弃到附近的空地上，造成严重的环境负担。由于这些副产品具有丰富的营养和植物化学成分，它们可被视为各种工业应用的原材料，因此需要开发可持续且环保的方法来实现其增值。在考虑的各种方法中，固态发酵（SSF）是一种引人关注的环保生物工艺，适用于水不溶性混合物，并能提供稳定性更高且分解代谢抑制作用减弱的产品。因此，有若干文献研究突出了固态发酵在提高各种农业工业废弃物的营养和植物化学成分方面的情况及效果。本文的综述旨在总结这些文献结果，特别关注其抗氧化能力的增强。为此，使用了特定关键词在多个科学数据库中进行检索，重点关注最新研究和影响较大的期刊。所呈现的数据证实了固态发酵生物工艺在获得具有增强抗氧化特性的发酵产品方面的实用性和有效性。
