portuguesResiduos agroindustriais sao de grande interesse por serem importantes fontes naturais de compostos bioativos e assim gerar subprodutos de valor agregado. Estudos recentes mostraram que o processamento de alimentos gera subprodutos ricos em compostos bioativos tais como compostos fenolicos, acidos orgânicos e carotenoides, entre outros. O crescente interesse em substituir compostos antioxidantes e antimicrobianos sinteticos por naturais tem estimulado a procura por esses compostos bioativos a partir de fontes vegetais, especialmente de residuos de processamento de frutas. O objetivo desta revisao e destacar os residuos agroindustriais como potenciais fontes naturais de antioxidantes e antimicrobianos assim como as possiveis aplicacoes tecnologicas nas industrias de alimentos e de fermentacao, especialmente a industria do bioetanol EnglishAgro-industrial wastes are of great interest because they are important natural sources of bioactive compounds and can generate value-added byproducts. Recent studies have shown that byproducts generated by the food processing industry are rich in bioactive compounds, such as phenolic compounds, organic acids, and carotenoids, among others. The growing interest in replacing synthetic antioxidant and antimicrobial compounds with natural ones has stimulated a search for these bioactive compounds from plant sources, especially from fruit-processing wastes. The study aims to project the agro-industrial wastes as potential natural sources of antioxidants and antimicrobials and the feasible technological applications in food and fermentation industries, especially the bioethanol industry.
