Sažetak
The awareness of consumers regarding the functional food led to an increasing demand for functional foods especially for foods rich in antioxidants, which have a wide range of activities such as antitumoral, antiviral, cardioprotective and antimutagenic activities. Phenolic compounds are an essential part of the human diet and are of considerable interest due to their antioxidant activities. Wastes from fruits represent a major disposal problem for the industry concerned. The by‐products, which are results of the fruit processing, are rich in valuable compounds and represent a novel, natural and economic sources of flavorings, colorants, polyphenols and natural antioxidants, which can be used in the food industry as a source of natural food additives. This chapter is underlying the great potential of the most important by-products of apples, grapes and berry fruits processing as a source of antioxidants. Some novel and practical aspects of extraction of natural antioxidants will be discussed in this chapter.
