The management of agri-food by-products or waste is considered a priority global industrial, economic, and environmental problem, and its solution requires a comprehensive and sustainable approach (García-García et al., 2017). The chemical composition of the residues that emerge is diverse and depends on the product nature and its processing. Inadequate disposal causes environmental problems, including greenhouse gas emissions, because of their high biodegradability, moisture, and microbial load (Fritsch et al., 2017). Certain wastes have a wide variety of components with a nutritional,

Fresh and marine waters are frequently affected by microbiological contamination resulting from anthropogenic activities, including agricultural, industrial, urban (CONAGUA, 2018), and livestock activities (Hathaway et al., 2011). Similarly, the influence of effluent from wastewater treatment plants as a vehicle for the dissemination of microorganisms has been described (Kotlarska et al., 2015). Microbiological contamination can prevail when receiving water bodies compromise the environmental and sanitary quality of these resources (Stone et al., 2008). Exposure to water contaminated with infectious agents increases the risk of contracting gastrointestinal (GI) infections during recreational or irrigation use (World Health Organization, 2016). The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 842 000 cases of deaths occur worldwide due to GI diseases associated with inadequate water, which represents 1.5% of the total disease burden and 58% of diarrhoeal diseases (
