Abstract

Purpose of review: Nowadays, more interest has been focused on the efficient use of agricultural and food processing post-products. The remaining wastes accumulate in large quantities, resulting in a burden on the environment. However, they possess potentially valuable compounds, making them suitable to recover essential oil from solid waste. This review evaluates the production of essential oils from apple, citrus fruits, sour cherry, corn, rice, wheat, and barley processing wastes, highlighting high levels of bioactive compounds such as tocopherols, phytosterols, and unsaturated fatty acids, which contribute to their antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.

Recent findings: Agro-food processing wastes are composed of biologically active compounds including essential oil with different functional characteristics such as antibacterial and anti-angiogenic properties. This could be due to the presence of bioactive compounds including phytosterols, tocochromanols, tocopherol, and carotenoids, as well as the natural antioxidants and the higher amount of unsaturated fatty acids. Agro-food processing by-products are a valuable source of essential oil, which is rich in mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fatty acids as well as bioactive compounds. Findings provide a reference for the development of healthy products and open a new horizon for innovative and profitable utilization of the wastes generated from the industrial-scale processing of agro-foods.

农业食品工业规模加工副产物精油的特性研究

综述目的：目前，农业和食品加工后产物的高效利用已成为人们关注的焦点。剩余的废物大量堆积，对环境造成负担。然而，它们拥有潜在的有价值的化合物，使它们适合从固体废物中回收精油。本文综述了从苹果、柑橘类水果、酸樱桃、玉米、水稻、小麦和大麦加工废料中提取的精油，强调了其高水平的生物活性化合物，如生育酚、植物甾醇和不饱和脂肪酸，这些化合物有助于其抗氧化和抗菌特性。最新发现：农业食品加工废弃物是由生物活性化合物组成的，包括具有不同功能特征的精油，如抗菌和抗血管生成特性。这可能是由于含有生物活性化合物，包括植物甾醇、生育酚、生育酚和类胡萝卜素，以及天然抗氧化剂和大量不饱和脂肪酸。农产品加工副产物是富含单不饱和脂肪酸和多不饱和脂肪酸以及生物活性化合物的精油的宝贵来源。研究结果为健康产品的开发提供了参考，并为农业食品工业规模加工产生的废弃物的创新和有益利用开辟了新的领域。

期刊介绍： This journal aims to provide comprehensive review articles that emphasize significant developments in nutrition research emerging in recent publications. By presenting clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to discuss the influence of nutrition on major health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and obesity, as well as the impact of nutrition on genetics, metabolic function, and public health. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of more than 25 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, suggests topics of special importance to their country/region, and ensures that topics and current and include emerging research.
