| Abstract |
Strawberry fruit (Fragaria x ananassa) is a widely consumed food worldwide and has been characterized to have a wide range of beneficial properties for human health, mostly associated with its antioxidant potential. The search for bioactive phytochemicals in strawberry has focused mainly on the fruit, while the biochemical profile of the leaves has been little studied and continues to be underutilized, despite being a potential source of bioactive metabolites that could be used in the formulation of food, industrial and pharmaceutical products. In addition, higher bioactive polyphenol content has been reported in strawberry leaves than in the fruit, and strawberry leaves could also be an important source of ellagic acid, a bioactive antioxidant compound, which is limited in the human diet but has great biomedical potential. This literature review aims to evaluate the information available on the characteristics of strawberry crops (Fragaria x ananassa) in Costa Rica, targeting towards the comprehensive use of the agro-industrial residues of this plant. The information reviewed confirmed that the commercialization of strawberry cultivation focuses on the fruit, while the leaves and the rest of the plant's vegetative material are discarded periodically, but could be incorporated into new production chains. Such strategies are especially important for small developing countries with agricultural-based economies, to improve the use of agro-industrial waste and provide added value to crops, aiding both the environment and human health. |
