Towards a comprehensive exploitation of agrofood residues: Olive tree – olive oil as example

Abstract: A comprehensive use of residues from the agrofood industry requires development of a number of steps -discussed in this article taking as a model the olive tree -olive oil binomial -consisting of: (i) extraction, identification and quantitation of valuable products (with isolation of individual compounds, if required); (ii) assessment of beneficial effects (which could be made mainly through metabolomics); (iii) improvement of cultivation varieties (through cross-breeding or other agricultural resources); (iv)… Show more

“…The citrus processing industries have been focusing on the production of juices and essential oils for many years. It is estimated that 33% of the total harvest in the world is used for juice production [6]. A high percentage of orange production (70%) is consumed for the production of commercial derivative products, such as fresh juice, dehydrated citrus products or marmalades, jams, and flavoring agents for beverages [7].…”

“…Moreover, formerly unexplored products such as olive seed oil and novel processing methods are being investigated in an attempt to take advantage of all olive tree derived matrices with zero waste generation [ 23 , 24 , 25 ]. It is clear that the exhaustive characterization of every olive tree fraction (olive fruit organs and resulting oils, as well as leaves and stems) is crucial when looking for new applications or new sources of bioactive compounds [ 26 ].…”

“…Citrus fruits are one of the world's largest and most commercially produced fruit crops (Castro, 2014), with an estimated global production of 146.6 million tons reported in 2018 (FAO., 2019). Among citrus crops, oranges (Citrus sinensis) are the most widely grown accounting for 70.7 million tons, followed by mandarins (Citrus reticulata) at 25.5 million tons, and lemons (Citrus limon), limes (Citrus latifolia) and grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) all accounting for 12.9 million tons (Ledesma-Escobar et al, 2015).…”

Over two-thirds of the world's citrus fruits are produced in Brazil, China, India, Mexico, Spain, and the USA (Sataria and Karimia, 2018), and 33% is used for juice and essential oil manufacturing (Castro, 2014). The fruits are used for a variety of applications such as additives, cosmetic ingredients and chemoprophylactic drugs in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, respectively (Lv et al, 2015).…”
