“…Polysaccharides derived from agro-industrial waste include cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, starch, carrageenan, fucoidan, chitosan and alginate. Monomeric units in the mentioned polymers are bonded by α-1,4-glycosidic bonds, β-1,4-glycosidic bonds and α-1,6-glycosidic bonds, and intermolecular hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces [109]. Pectins are water-soluble carbohydrates that are found in cell walls and are built from the majority monomer D-galacturonic acid, whose units are connected by an α-(1,4)-glycosidic bond.…”

Global food waste has a huge impact on the environment, as it is a source of greenhouse gas emissions and wasted natural resources. Across the world, over 30% of food is lost or wasted each year. Aside from this, the food industry, as well, is one of the biggest sources of agro-industrial waste and by-products, which can be valorized and used for different purposes. Such waste is a good source of bioactive organic compounds that can be extracted without altering their properties, where deep eutectic solvents can serve as green solvents and as an excellent replacement for volatile organic solvents. Isolated compounds can be used in innovative food production, chemical production, cosmetics and other industries. Deep eutectic solvents have attracted extraordinary attention due to their advantages such as environmental friendliness, availability and easy preparation, easy handling and utilization of non-toxic components for their formation. Due to these properties, they are a greener alternative to classic organic solvents for many processes, including extractions. In this paper, we review the utilization of deep eutectic solvents as potential green media for the extraction of organic compounds such as polyphenols, carbohydrates, proteins and alkaloids from by-products of the food industry and from agro-industrial waste.
