ABSTRACT
The food industry generates a large amount of waste and by-products, the disposal of which has a negative impact on the environment and the economy. Plant-based waste and by-products are rich in bioactive compounds such as dietary fiber, proteins, essential fatty acids, antioxidant compounds, vitamin, and minerals, which can be exploited to reduce the nutritional deficiencies of gluten-free products. The latter are known to be rich in fats and carbohydrates but lacking in bioactive compounds; the absence of gluten also has a negative effect on textural and sensory properties. Several attempts have been made to improve the quality of gluten-free products using alternative flours and additives, or by adopting innovative technologies. The exploitation of plant-based by-products would represent a chance to improve both the nutritional profile and the overall quality of gluten-free foods by further enhancing the sustainability of the agri-food system. After examining in detail the composition of plant-based by-products and waste, the objective of this review was to provide an overview of the effects of their inclusion on the quality of gluten-free products (bread, pasta, cake/muffins, biscuits and snacks). The advantages and drawbacks regarding the physical, sensory, and nutritional properties were critically evaluated. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.
