Abstract

Food waste, a by-product of various industrial, agricultural, household and other food sector activities, is rising continuously due to increase in such activities. Various studies have indicated that different kind of food wastes obtained from fruits, vegetables, cereal and other food processing industries can be used as potential source of bioactive compounds and nutraceuticals which has significant application in treating various ailments. Different secondary metabolites, minerals and vitamins have been extracted from food waste, using various extraction approaches. In the next few years these approaches could provide an innovative approach to increase the production of specific compounds for use as nutraceuticals or as ingredients in the design of functional foods. In this review a comprehensive study of various techniques for extraction of bioactive components citing successful research work have been discussed. Further, their efficient utilization in development of nutraceutical products, health benefits, bioprocess development and value addition of food waste resources has also been discussed.

  • The main techniques in bioactive compounds recovery for the cosmetics industry are extraction methods based on solvent extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, subcritical water extraction, use of enzymes, and non-conventional techniques like pulsed electric field ultrasound and microwave assisted extractions.

    “The main techniques in the bioactive compounds recovery for the cosmetics industry are the extraction methods, mainly based on solvent extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, subcritical water extraction, use of enzymes, and some non-conventional techniques, like pulsed electric field ultrasound and microwave assisted extractions [68,78].”

    From Use of Waste from the Food Industry and Applications of the Fermentation Process to Create Sustainable Cosmetic Products: A Review (2024) · cites this paper as [78]

    The “Extraction technologies for bioactive compounds from food waste” section lists solvent, supercritical-fluid, subcritical-water, enzyme, ultrasound and microwave methods as principal approaches. The “Microwave assisted extraction” section also discusses pulsed electric fields. The paper frames these as ways to recover compounds from food waste, however, and does not establish that they are the main techniques for the cosmetics industry (page numbers unavailable).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
