Circular Economy: sustainable use of bioactive compounds from Potato and Brassicaceae
Lets focus on an exhaustive review recently published on Molecules
Reducing synthetic inputs in agro-ecosystems while decreasing industrial food wastes meet the 17 “Sustainable Development Goals” (SDGs) is in agreement with UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the UN Convention on Biodiversity Strategic Plan for 2020. Defatted seed meals of oleaginous Brassicaceae, such as Eruca sativa, and potato peel are excellent plant matrices to recover potentially useful biomolecules from industrial processes in a circular strategy perspective aiming at crop protection.
The collaboration between CREA-Cereals and Industrial Crops, and CREA- Engineering and Agro-Food Processing, in the frame of the project SUSINCER, led to the recent pubblication on the scientific journal Molecules. This overview focuses on biochemicals structures, their bioactivities, potential applications as bioprotectors and how the global challenges as reducing agri-food waste, increasing sustainability and food safety, could be addressed through bioprotector application.
