“…The search for new therapeutically active compounds has spurred researchers over the years to investigate natural compounds [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. In particular, food and plant wastes represent interesting sources of biologically active molecules [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ] and have been proposed as indigenous remedies [ 25 , 26 ]. Specifically, secondary metabolites from plants represent valuable bioactive ingredients [ 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ] with remarkable antibacterial properties [ 31 , 32 ], useful in the treatment of several diseases.…”
