Summary
Fruit and vegetable waste from food industries is rich in fatty oils containing valuable bioactive compounds. These compounds form the basis for safe phytopreparations effective for chronic inflammatory uterine and lower urinary tract conditions.
Area of Science:
- Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry
- Natural Product Chemistry
- Food Science and Technology
Context:
- Significant waste generated by fruit and vegetable processing industries (juice, wine, confectionery).
- Underutilization of valuable lipophilic fractions (fatty oils) in agricultural byproducts.
- Need for novel therapeutic agents for chronic inflammatory uterine appendage diseases and lower urinary tract dysfunctions.
Purpose:
- To pharmacognostically and phytochemically analyze waste from selected fruits, berries, and vegetables.
- To identify and characterize valuable bioactive substances within the lipophilic fractions.
- To develop and assess the safety and efficacy of phytopreparations derived from these waste materials for specific medical conditions.
Summary:
- Phytochemical analysis of black currant, raspberry, viburnum, mountain ashes, grape, melon, squash, and tomato waste revealed high concentrations of lipophilic fractions (fatty oils).
- These oils contain a complex of valuable biologically active substances.
- Developed phytopreparations are safe, easy to use, and demonstrate potential therapeutic benefits.
Impact:
- Provides a sustainable valorization strategy for food industry waste streams.
- Offers novel, safe, and effective phytopreparations for managing chronic inflammatory uterine appendage diseases.
- Presents a promising therapeutic option for difficult-to-treat lower urinary tract dysfunctions, potentially reducing reliance on complex drug therapies.
