Abstract

This study reviews the many uses for waste generated from acerola (Malpighia spp.) production, a tropical fruit renowned for its nutrient-rich content. Traditionally considered an environmental burden, this waste is now gaining attention for its sustainable applications in green technology. This review outlines the extraction of valuable bioactive compounds, like polyphenols, carotenoids, and pectin, that can be extracted from the acerola fruit and acerola waste, and it also delves into its potential in materials science, particularly in the creation of pharmaceutical formulations, nanomaterials, composites, biofuels, and energy applications. On the medical front, the paper highlights the promise that acerola waste holds in anti-inflammatory, antihyperglycemic, and anticancer therapies. By outlining challenges and opportunities, the review emphasizes the untapped potential of acerola waste as a resource for high-value products. These findings suggest a paradigm shift, turning what has been considered waste into a sustainable asset, thereby encouraging environmentally responsible practices within the fruit industry.

金雀花(Malpighia spp:营养品、药品和能源应用的可持续方法
本研究回顾了针叶树(malpiighia spp.)生产中产生的废物的许多用途,针叶树是一种以其丰富的营养成分而闻名的热带水果。传统上被认为是一种环境负担,这种废物现在因其在绿色技术中的可持续应用而受到关注。本文概述了从针叶树果实和针叶树废弃物中提取有价值的生物活性化合物,如多酚、类胡萝卜素和果胶的方法,并探讨了其在材料科学方面的潜力,特别是在制造药物配方、纳米材料、复合材料、生物燃料和能源应用方面的潜力。在医学方面,这篇论文强调了针叶菌废物在抗炎、降糖和抗癌治疗方面的前景。通过概述挑战和机遇,该审查强调针叶废弃物作为高价值产品资源的未开发潜力。这些发现表明了一种范式的转变,将被认为是废物的东西转变为可持续的资产,从而鼓励水果行业内对环境负责的做法。
