Abstract

This document discusses the potential uses of bioactive compounds derived from agrifood byproducts in medicine and biology. Agrifood waste generates a significant amount of waste globally, and finding ways to reduce and repurpose this waste aligns with the circular economy and the European Union's green goals. Agrifood byproducts can be used in various sectors, such as agriculture, packaging, energy production, and cosmetics. These byproducts also contain valuable nutrients and bioactive compounds that have potential health benefits. The study of these substances can lead to the development of functional foods, formulations, and food supplements. The document emphasizes the need for further research in this field and acknowledges the contributions of the authors and reviewers. [Extracted from the article]
