Abstract
Sugarcane rind is usually treated as an industrial waste. However, it contains valuable phytochemicals that can be extracted and utilized. Herein we provide a comprehensive review about application and health benefits of the phytochemicals in sugarcane rind, including polyphenols, flavonoids, especially anthocyanins, phenolic acids, long chain fatty alcohols particularly 1-octacosanol, phytosterols and fiber. Various bioactivities are associated with these phytochemicals, such as antioxidant, anticancer, antivirus, inhibition of inflammatory, and attenuation of the risk of cardiovascular and coronary disease. However, further studies are warranted to focus on health benefits of sugarcane rind and to elucidate their action mechanisms.
