The agro-food industry produces, every year, high quantities of wastes and by -products (i.e. peels, stems, leaves, wastewaters, etc.) throughout the entire production chain. These wastes, if not properly managed, poses serious economic and environmental problems, also due to increasingly restrictive regulations. On the other hand, these effluents represent a renewable resource of bioactive compounds (i.e., polyphenols, proteins, carbohydrates, phytochemicals, etc.), that can be used for various applications.
