The increase in food waste accumulation needs innovative valorization strategies that not only reduce environmental impacts but also provide functional applications. This study investigates the potential of almond hulls, an abundant agricultural by-product, as a source of bioactive compounds. For the first time, almond hull extract (AHE), was evaluated in terms of anti-adhesive and anti-biofilm activity against ATCC 29213 and ATCC 9637.

This work aimed to propose the reuse of processing waste from the Sicilian almond ( Batsch.) cultivar Tuono for the formulation of a new functional baked product (muffin) that is gluten- and lactose-free. Muffins were prepared using orange juice, rice flour, extra virgin olive oil, and enriched almond skin (3% and 6% /).

This article presents a comprehensive overview of upcycling commercial nut byproducts (such as Brazil nut, cashew, hazelnut, macadamia, peanut (also known as a legume), pecan, pine nut, pistachio, and walnut) for food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical applications. Upcycling nut byproducts, namely husk/hull, hard shell, brown skin, defatted flour/meal/cake, pine cone, cashew nut shell liquid, cashew apple, walnut septum, and dreg/okara, has great potential, not only to reduce/minimise waste, but also to fit within the circular economy concept. Each byproduct has its own unique functional properties, which can bring significant value.

Unlabelled: This research aims to maximize the extraction of phenolic compounds (PCs) from almond hull waste (AHW) using an ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method, detect the PCs, and investigate the antimicrobial activity of the extracts against pathogens and interactions with a probiotic bacterium. The impact of various parameters including sonication amplitude, solvent/AHW ratio (mL/g), and extraction time on the total phenolic content (TPC) was investigated and the optimized extraction conditions were determined. The AHW extracts' minimum bacterial concentration (MBC) and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against , , and were assessed.
