This research examines how food industry waste and by-products can be transformed into valuable compounds for use in food, packaging, and other applications. Instead of discarding materials like fruit peels and processing residues, these can be sources of beneficial compounds that have antioxidant properties and other health benefits. Impacts on everyday life: – Reduces food waste by finding uses for materials that would otherwise be discarded – Provides natural alternatives to synthetic food additives and preservatives – Enables development of eco-friendly food packaging to replace plastic – Creates new sources of nutritional supplements and functional food ingredients – Helps make food production more sustainable and environmentally friendly
