Recently, studies on the by-products from the food industry, such as passion fruit seeds, have significantly increased, as these can have an added value, due to their properties, such as potential antioxidant activity. This study was conducted to determine the presence of piceatannol and resveratrol in various extracts of passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) seeds from Madeira Island and a commercial passion fruit oil was used as reference. The commercial oil and the extracts that were obtained by traditional Soxhlet method with ethanol and acetone did not reveal the presence of the two stilbenes, piceatannol and resveratrol. However, the extracts that were obtained by the ultrasound method showed significant amounts of piceatannol and resveratrol when compared with the commercial oil. The presence of these compounds indicates that this oil could have potential application in cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, due to their proven antioxidant and anti-aging properties.

Determinou-se a composição de ácidos graxos, por cromatografia em fase gasosa, do óleo da semente do maracujá amarelo (Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa), em três diferentes tamanhos de frutos (tipo 1 = 1215 cm; tipo 2 = 710 cm; tipo 3 = 56 cm). O rendimento das sementes em relação ao peso dos frutos para os tipos 1, 2 e 3 (5,18; 5,83 e 5,31%) e para a polpa dos tipos 1 e 3 (12; 17 e 12,67%) não apresentou diferença entre os tamanhos analisados, com exceção do tipo 2 (14,03%) para polpa que evidenciou maior rendimento. A composição em ácidos graxos do óleo da semente do maracujá amarelo, nos três diferentes tamanhos, mostrou predominância de ácidos graxos oléico e linoléico. O método mais adequado para a determinação da composição de ácidos graxos do óleo do maracujá foi o Cd 14c94/ coluna SP 2340 da American Oil Chemists’ Society. Abstract Fatty acids composition was determined in three different sizes (type 1=1215 cm; type 2=710 cm; type 3=56cm) of yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa) oil using gas chromatography. The seed yield in terms of fruit weight to types 1, 2 and 3 (5,18; 5,83 and 5,31%) and fruit pulp to types 1 and 3 (12,17 and 12,67%) didn’t present differences between the sizes analyzed with the exception of fruit pulp type 2 (14,03%) that showed the highest yield. The fatty acids composition of yellow passion fruit oil, in three different sizes, showed a predominance of oleic and linoleic acids. The more suitable methodology for passion fruit oil fatty acids determination was AOCS Cd 14c94/ column SP 2340.

Currently, agricultural production generates large amounts of organic waste, both from the maintenance of farms and crops, and from the industrialization of the product. Generally, these wastes are accumulated in landfills or burned, sometimes causing environmental problems. However, many scientific studies suggest that these residues are rich in bioactive compounds, so these matrices could be revalued for their use in food, cosmetic, or pharmaceutical industries. In this way, the circular and sustainable economy is favored, while obtaining products with high added value. In this case, this approach is applied to the residues generated from kiwi production, since numerous studies have shown the high content of kiwi in bioactive compounds of interest, such as phenolic compounds, vitamins, and carotenoids. These compounds have been reported for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities, among other beneficial properties for health such as its use as prebiotic. Therefore, this article reviews the potential of residues derived from industrial processing and agricultural maintenance of kiwi as promising matrices for the development of new nutraceutical, cosmetic, or pharmacological products, obtaining, at the same time, economic returns and a reduction of the environmental impact of this industry, attaching it to the perspective of the circular economy.

The search for waste minimization and the valorization of by-products are key practices for good management and improved sustainability in the food industry. The production of almonds generates a large amount of waste, most of which is not used. Until now, almonds have been used for their high nutritional value as food, especially almond meat. The other remaining parts (skin, shell, hulls, etc.) are still little explored, even though they have been used as fuel by burning or as livestock feed. However, interest in these by-products has been increasing as they possess beneficial properties (caused mainly by polyphenols and unsaturated fatty acids) and can be used as new ingredients for the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Therefore, it is important to explore almond’s valorization of by-products for the development of new added-value products that would contribute to the reduction of environmental impact and an improvement in the sustainability and competitiveness of the almond industry.

The food sector includes several large industries such as canned food, pasta, flour, frozen products, and beverages. Those industries transform agricultural raw materials into added-value products. The fruit and vegetable industry is the largest and fastest-growing segment of the world agricultural production market, which commercialize various products such as juices, jams, and dehydrated products, followed by the cereal industry products such as chocolate, beer, and vegetable oils are produced. Similarly, the root and tuber industry produces flours and starches essential for the daily diet due to their high carbohydrate content. However, the processing of these foods generates a large amount of waste several times improperly disposed of in landfills. Due to the increase in the world’s population, the indiscriminate use of natural resources generates waste and food supply limitations due to the scarcity of resources, increasing hunger worldwide. The circular economy offers various tools for raising awareness for the recovery of waste, one of the best alternatives to mitigate the excessive consumption of raw materials and reduce waste. The loss and waste of food as a raw material offers bioactive compounds, enzymes, and nutrients that add value to the food cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. This paper systematically reviewed literature with different food loss and waste by-products as animal feed, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products that strongly contribute to the paradigm shift to a circular economy. Additionally, this review compiles studies related to the integral recovery of by-products from the processing of fruits, vegetables, tubers, cereals, and legumes from the food industry, with the potential in SARS-CoV-2 disease and bacterial diseases treatment.
