“…Another application of fruit by-products in the food processing industry is their use as packaging materials which is strongly related to the oxygen-impermeable properties. Various studies found promising results when incorporating fruit by-products into edible films that could be used as food packaging materials [ 99 ]. Other researches revealed also that fruit by-products can be also used as a reserve of wheat flour (example of berry pomace) [ 100 ], as a supplement in cakes and cookies (example of sour cherry pomace) [ 101 ] or in fermented beverages production (example of blueberry bagasse) [ 102 ].…”

The fruit processing industry generates large amounts of wastes (pomace, seeds, peels) that causes negative environmental impact with considerable treatment expenses. Nevertheless, various studies demonstrated that these by-products are still rich in bioactive compounds, especially dietary fibres and phenolic compounds, thus leading to significant chemical, physical and biological properties. These characteristics make fruits by-products a good source for new supplements in food products having important effect on intestinal function. Thus, the aim of this review is to evaluate the different bioactive compounds isolated from fruit by-products and to analyse their application in various formulations for the food and nutraceutical industries. In consideration of the biological properties of these compounds, their role in the functioning and action on intestine and gut flora was discussed.

“…These by-products could come from underutilized foods, renewable resources, and the valorization of agro-industrial and marine wastes, among other sources. Husks, feathers, shells, skins, seeds, peels, stems, and leaves are examples of by-products with significant value potential [ 29 ]. As the natures of these polymers are hydrophilic, i.e., they attract water easily, they therefore exhibit poor water vapor barriers and mechanical properties in comparison to plastic materials.…”

Food sectors are facing issues as a result of food scarcity, which is exacerbated by rising populations and demand for food. Food is ordinarily wrapped and packaged using petroleum-based plastics such as polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, and others. However, the excessive use of these polymers has environmental and health risks. As a result, much research is currently focused on the use of bio-based materials for food packaging. Biodegradable polymers that are compatible with food products are used to make edible packaging materials. These can be ingested with food and provide consumers with additional health benefits. Recent research has shifted its focus to multilayer coatings and films-based food packaging, which can provide a material with additional distinct features. The aim of this review article is to investigate the properties and applications of several bio-based polymers in food packaging. The several types of edible film and coating production technologies are also covered separately. Furthermore, the use of edible films and coatings in the food industry has been examined, and their advantages over traditional materials are also discussed.

“…In the recent past, edible coating have been developed extensively with the use of a number of agro-industrial residues such as by-products of plants and animal origin like leaves, peels, stems, seeds, husk, skins and shells [ 22 ]. These plant and animal originated agro-industrial residues are significantly rich in bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides, lipids and proteins along with excellent antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.…”

Fresh fruits are prioritized needs in order to fulfill the required health benefits for human beings. However, some essential fruits are highly perishable with very short shelf-life during storage because of microbial growth and infections. Thus improvement of fruits shelf-life is a serious concern for their proper utlization without generation of huge amount of fruit-waste. Among various methods employed in extension of fruits shelf-life, design and fabrication of edible nanocoatings with antimicrobial activities have attracted considerable interest because of their enormous potential, novel functions, eco-friendly nature and good durability. In recent years, scientific communities have payed increased attention in the development of advanced antimicrobial edible coatings to prolong the postharvest shelf-life of fruits using hydrocolloids. In this review, we attempted to highlight the technical breakthrough and recent advancements in development of edible fruit coating by the application of various types of agro-industrial residues and different active nanomaterials incorporated into the coatings and their effects on shelf-life of perishable fruits. Improvements in highly desired functions such as antioxidant/antimicrobial activities and mechanical properties of edible coating to significantly control the gases (O 2 /CO 2 ) permeation by the incorporation of nanoscale natural materials as well as metal nanoparticles are reviewed and discussed. In addition, by compiling recent knowledge, advantages of coatings on fruits for nutritional security during COVID-19 pandemic are also summarized along with the scientific challenges and insights for future developments in fabrication of engineered nanocoatings.
