 ABSTRACT

Fruits and vegetables are mainly admired due to their nutritional value worldwide and rich sources of beneficial anti-oxidants, minerals, vitamins and fibers, besides these, they are also source of health promoting biologically active compounds. The use of synthetic antioxidants in foods is discouraged due to their high levels of toxicity and carcinogenicity .So; natural antioxidants from fruits and vegetables waste have concerned significant attention due to their safety. Due to the high consumption and industrial processing of the edible parts of fruit and vegetables, the residues are generated in large quantities in big cities. Agro waste has become one of the foremost sources of municipal solid wastes, which is one of the hard-hitting environmental issues. However, inappropriate management of landfill will result in emissions of methane and carbon dioxide and incineration involves the subsequent development and releases of pollutants and secondary wastes such as dioxins, furans, acid gases as well as particulates, which pretext rigorous environmental and health risks. For these reasons, there is a critical need to seek out resource and value-added use for these wastes. Actually, economical and readily available use of agri-food industry waste is highly cost-effective and minimizes environmental impact. One of the most advantageous approaches is to recover the bioactive constituents, mainly the phenolic compounds & antioxidants, utilization of it in the food, pharmaceutical as well as cosmetics industry.

Key words: Bioactive compounds, Municipal waste, Phenolic compounds, Antioxidants, Methane, Health risk.
