Valorization of bioactive compounds in local plant agri-food waste materials for functional food products

Abstract

In the food industry, hemp seeds are widely used as a means of enriching or fortifying food products. Derivatives as well as hemp seeds have been evaluated as an added ingredient in products consumed daily, such as bakery products (bread, biscuits), meat and meat products, yogurts. Regarding the nutritional quality of products enriched with hemp flour, the addition of hemp seeds or its derivatives has been found significantly in the nutritional quality, as it increases total protein and fat content, total soluble and insoluble dietary fiber, group B vitamin and mineral.
