Fruit and vegetable processing industry is one of the relevant generators of food by-products, which display limited commercial exploitation entailing economic and environmental problems. However, these by-products present a considerable amount of dietary fiber as well as bioactive compounds with important biological activities such as antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Therefore, the international scientific community has considered the incorporation of their extracts or powders to preserve or fortify food products an area of interest, mainly because nowadays consumers demand the production of safer and health-promoting foods. In the present review, several statistical and other relevant data concerning the increasing generation of fruit and vegetable by-products (FVB) are critically analyzed and presented. Next, a special focus is given to the chemical characterization and bioactivities (namely antioxidant and antimicrobial properties) of several FVB. Lastly, an in-depth review with recent studies (briefly compiled) about the incorporation of fruit and vegetable processing wastes in animal, dairy, beverages, and bakery products, among others is provided.

水果和蔬菜副产品中的高附加值化合物-表征，生物活性及其在新型食品开发中的应用。

水果和蔬菜加工业是食品副产物的相关产生者之一，其显示出有限的商业利用，带来了经济和环境问题。但是，这些副产物具有大量的膳食纤维以及具有重要生物活性（例如抗氧化剂和抗菌性能）的生物活性化合物。因此，国际科学界已考虑将其提取物或粉末掺入以保存或强化食品的兴趣，这主要是因为当今消费者要求生产更安全和健康的食品。在本综述中，对有关水果和蔬菜副产物（FVB）生成量增加的一些统计数据和其他相关数据进行了严格分析和介绍。下一个，特别着重于几种FVB的化学表征和生物活性（即抗氧化剂和抗菌性能）。最后，提供了对近期研究（简要汇编）的深入综述，该研究涉及将水果和蔬菜加工废料纳入动物，乳制品，饮料和烘焙产品等之中。
