The growing development of biological products highlights the social and environmental responsibility that several industrial companies are facing in recent years. In this context, the advancement of bioprocessing as an alternative for exploring the potential of ecologically based products, especially in biofuels, food, and agro-industrial business, exposes the rational efficiency of the application of renewable sources in different industrial segments. Industries strongly associated with food production concentrate large amounts of wastes rich in bioactive compounds. A range of highly effective technologies has been highly explored to recover large concentrations of prominent compounds present in these materials. The advances in this scenario assurance value addition to these by-products, in addition to highlighting their various technological applications, considering the biorefinery and ecologically based production concepts. Accordingly, this review article described a detailed and systematic approach to the importance of using bioactive compounds and exploring the main sources of these elements. Also, some recent and innovative research that has achieved encouraging results was highlighted. Furthermore, the study included the main extraction technologies that have been investigated as a strategy of prospecting the application of bioactive compounds and optimizing the processes for obtaining natural compounds from plant sources. Finally, future outlooks were presented to contribute to the innovative opportunities and applicability of highly promising technologies and manipulations of bioactive compounds from a range of perspectives.

“…And the optimal adsorption for both adsorbents occurs within 30 min of exposure and at an adsorbent dose of 0.5 g. Banana peels are the primary residues of this fruit and account for 30-40% of the weight of the fruit and contain a high content of cellulose and minerals, meanwhile, the disposal of huge quantities of banana peels is a major problem as well as a huge waste of resources [10]. Banana peels have a porous structure and contain many functional groups such as carboxyl, hydroxyl, and amides, which have an essential role in biosorption processes [11]. This study aimed to determine the ability of banana peels to remove some heavy metals as a means of biological treatment to remove pollutants in water.…”

The ability of banana peel powder to remove lead, copper, and nickel was studied, and it was found that treating the peel powder with HCl acid increased the efficiency of the adsorption process for banana peel powder treated with acid at a concentration of 10%, as the removal percentage reached 45%, 30% and 25% for lead, copper, and nickel, respectively. As for the untreated banana peel powder, the removal percentage was 32%, 21%, and 18%. As for the treatment of banana peel powder with the base as NaOH at a concentration of 10%, it reached 20%, 15%, and 12% for each lead, copper, and nickel, respectively. When banana peel powder was treated with 40% acid, the removal percentage was 68%, 53%, and 44% for lead, copper, and nickel, respectively. The percentage of metal removal increased with increasing pH from 2 to 4, as the percentage of removing at pH 2 reached 41%, 29%, and 25%, and at pH 3 reached 65%, 40%, and 33% to reach the best removal rates at pH 4, which reached 75, 55 and 58% for lead, copper, and nickel respectively. The rates of metal removal then decreased with increasing pH, as the removal rate at pH 5 reached 69%, 46%, and 47%, at pH 6 reached 67%, 50%, and 45%, and at pH 7 reached 40%, 39% and 37% for lead, copper, and nickel, respectively.
