Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is commonly known to be classified into two main subtypes, ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). Currently, corticosteroids, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, and immunosuppressive agents are used to treat IBD; however, its clinical application is severely limited due to unwanted side effects. Faced with this problem, the investigation of natural bioactives with proven beneficial effects on intestinal health becomes an attractive alternative for the therapy of IBDs. Agroindustrial and vegetable by-products/residues, in addition to being cheap and abundant, are excellent sources of natural bioactives, such as polyphenols, carotenoids, mono-, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, dietary fibers, vitamins, and bioactive peptides. Their use as raw materials for the elaboration of new functional foods and nutraceuticals makes it possible to add value and to provide a sustainable use of waste. Besides, the use of plant by-products helps to reduce the problems associated with their direct disposal to the environment. Given the context presented, the focus of this chapter was to highlight the use of plant by-products as rich sources of natural bioactive compounds for the treatment of IBDs. (2016-01-01)
