Food supplements are extensively used as a natural remedy to improve human health condition. Considerable progress has been reported recently by several studies to analyse the bioactive substances and their functional activities of fruit by-product. The food industry generates a vast amount of wastes during manufacturing or processing which are mainly skins kernels and seeds. These by-products contain valuable bioactive compounds such as antioxidants vitamins minerals and indigestible food ingredients called prebiotics. Peels from fruits like yellow rambutan green kiwi mango and papaya exhibit a strong anti-proliferative anti-cardiovascular anti-oxidant and hepatoprotective effects due to the presence of bioactive compounds namely flavonoid B-type catechin dimer and penta-O-galloyl-glucoside. This review will illustrate a new concept of functional foods by providing information on alternative sources of bioactive compounds from food by-product and their efficacy in human nutrition. This study will also recapitulate the presence of bioactive components in fruit by-product their way of action constitution health benefits and probable therapeutic action in the treatment of disease prevention.

Abstract

Food supplements are extensively used as a natural remedy to improve human health condition. Considerable progress has been reported recently by several studies to analyse the bioactive substances and their functional activities of fruit by-product. The food industry generates a vast amount of wastes during manufacturing or processing which are mainly skins kernels and seeds. These by-products contain valuable bioactive compounds such as antioxidants vitamins minerals and indigestible food ingredients called prebiotics. Peels from fruits like yellow rambutan green kiwi mango and papaya exhibit a strong anti-proliferative anti-cardiovascular anti-oxidant and hepatoprotective effects due to the presence of bioactive compounds namely flavonoid B-type catechin dimer and penta-O-galloyl-glucoside. This review will illustrate a new concept of functional foods by providing information on alternative sources of bioactive compounds from food by-product and their efficacy in human nutrition. This study will also recapitulate the presence of bioactive components in fruit by-product their way of action constitution health benefits and probable therapeutic action in the treatment of disease prevention.
