The nature and composition of the waste produced by food industrial processing make
its abundance and accumulation an environmental problem. Since these by-products may present
a high potential for revalorization and may be used to obtain added-value compounds, the main
goals of the technological advancements have been targeted at reducing the environmental impact
and benefiting from the retrieval of active compounds with technological and health properties.
Among the added-value substances, nondigestible carbohydrates have demonstrated promise. In
addition to their well-known technological properties, they have been discovered to modify the
gut microbiota and enhance immune function, including the stimulation of immune cells and the
control of inflammatory reactions. Furthermore, the combination of these compounds with other
substances such us phenols could improve their biological effect on different noncommunicable
diseases through microbiota modulation. In order to gain insight into the implementation of this
combined strategy, a broader focus concerning different aspects is needed. This review is focused on
the optimized green and advanced extraction system applied to obtain added-value nondigestible
carbohydrates, the combined administration with phenols and their beneficial effects on microbiota
modulation intended for health and/or illness prevention, with particular emphasis on noncommunicable
diseases. The isolation of nondigestible carbohydrates from by-products as well as in
combination with other bioactive substances could provide an affordable and sustainable source of
immunomodulatory chemicals.
