In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the application of antioxidants food and pharmaceuticals due to their association with beneficial health effects against numerous oxidative-related human diseases. The antioxidant potential can be measured by various assays specific mechanisms action, including hydrogen atom transfer, single electron targeted scavenging activities. Understanding chemistry mechanisms, advantages, limitations methods is critical for proper selection techniques valid assessment activity samples or conditions. There are analytical available determining biological samples, plant extracts. different categorized into three main groups, such as spectrometry, chromatography, electrochemistry techniques. Among these assays, spectrophotometric considered most common technique determination sensitivity, rapidness, low cost, reproducibility. This review covers mechanism actions color changes that occur each method. Furthermore, advantages described discussed this review.

This review aims to streamline the approach assessing most used valorization methods for fruit and vegetable waste (FVW) that are eco-friendly, cost-effective, sustainable within a circular economy framework. Green processing technologies extraction of bioactive compounds from FVW, their applications, technico-economical assessment FVW’ biorefinery support highlighted. Important value-added products generated by FVW include compounds, pectin, protein isolates, such as soy, natural pigments anthocyanins, quinones, carotenoids, betalains, chlorophyll. At this time, prospects using have increased in food supplements, edible packaging, agriculture, energy, water purification fields. The findings report proper management not only minimizes addition landfills absence composting, but also promotes efficient utilization resources development innovative materials with wide range beneficial applications. Implementing possible solutions described paper would reduce environmental impact, open up new economic opportunities through FVW.
