Abstract

Significant amounts of fermented food waste are generated worldwide, promoting an abundance of residual biomass that can be used as raw material to extract bioactive peptides, fermentable sugars, polyphenols, and valuable compounds for synthesizing bioproducts. Therefore, generating these high-value-added products reduces the environmental impact caused by waste disposal and increases the industrial economic value of the final products. This review presents opportunities for synthesizing bioproducts and recovering bioactive compounds (employing wastes and byproducts from fermented sources) with several biological properties to support their consumption as dietary supplements that can benefit human health. Herein, the types of fermented food waste and byproducts (i.e., vegetables, bread wastes, dairy products, brewing, and winery sources), pre-treatment processes, the methods of obtaining products, the potential health benefits observed for the bioactive compounds recovered, and other technological applications of bioproducts are discussed. Therefore, there is currently a tendency to use these wastes to boost bioeconomic policies and support a circular bioeconomy approach that is focused on biorefinery concepts, biotechnology, and bioprocesses.

  • Biocompatibility is considered the major advantage of cosmetic ingredients derived from fermentation processes.

    “as biocompatibility is considered the major advantage of cosmetic ingredients derived from fermentation processes”

    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 [99]

    Section 6 (Challenges and Future Perspectives; page unavailable) says vegetable fermentation-based ingredients have gained popularity in the beauty industry and discusses cosmetic applications of compounds from fermented food waste. It does not identify biocompatibility as an advantage, let alone the major advantage, of those ingredients. (LLM, conf=0.83)

  • Fermentation-derived ingredients use renewable substrates, require mild processing conditions, reduce waste, and yield biodegradable products compared to conventional chemical synthesis.

    “First of all, the fermentation process uses renewable sources as substrates and requires mild processing conditions. Moreover, it reduces waste, and the obtained products are biodegradable [27,99].”

    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 [99]

    Section 2 describes renewable biological feedstocks and reduced waste from bioconversion. “Waste Fermentation: Steps and Optimization Factors” describes mild temperature and pressure for a biological pretreatment method, while Section 5.3 identifies fermented bioplastics—not fermentation products generally—as biodegradable. The source therefore supports the claim's themes but not its blanket assertion that the obtained products are biodegradable or that fermentation as a whole requires mild conditions. (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
