IntroductionBrassica vegetables include some economicallyinteresting crops such as cabbage, broccoli,cauliflower, and turnip, which have consumed theentire world. A high consumption of these vegetablesis associated with a decreased risk of cardiovasculardiseases, cancer and degenerative pathologies.Compared to other vegetables, cauliflower hashigher antioxidant potential which makes them veryinteresting crops from the consumer’s point of view.It is considered as a rich source of dietary fiber andit possesses both antioxidant and anticarcinogenicproperties (Podsedek, 2007).Cauliflower has the highest waste index, i.e. ratioof non-edible to edible portion after harvesting, andthus generates a large amount of organic solid waste,which creates a foul odor on decomposition. Disposalof the non-edible portion of cauliflower (cauliflowerwaste), which contributes to about 45–60% of thetotal weight of the vegetable, remains a crucialproblem (Oberoi et al., 2007).Fruits and vegetables are extensively processedfor the beverage manufacture generating a largeamount of residue which is frequently discarded,causing disposal problems. Classically, the outerlayers and extremities of fruits and vegetables areremoved during processing, mainly by peeling andpressing; they comprise essentially stalks, peels,seeds and crashed pulp which still contain largeamounts of bioactive molecules and biopolymers,resulting in a considerable nutritional loss (AyalaZavalaet al., 2010; Sousa et al., 2011; Ferreira et al.,2013). There is very scanty literature available onthe use of vegetable residues, especially cauliflowerwaste, for food production (Oberoi et al., 2008).
