Implication

This analysis reveals ecological techniques enhance bioactive compound extraction and stability in food, indicating significant potential for sustainable practices.

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate ecological methods for extracting and microencapsulating bioactive compounds from agri-food waste.
Analyzed 68 experimental studies from Scopus and ScienceDirect (2020-2025)
Focused on extraction techniques such as ultrasound, microwaves, subcritical water, and supercritical fluids
Examined microencapsulation methods using protein and polysaccharide matrices
Hybrid extraction approaches increased yield by up to 52% compared to single techniques
Microencapsulation maintained compound stability for up to 90 days with over 90% efficiency
Bioactive compounds enhanced phenolic content and antioxidant capacity in food products
