 ABSTRACT

Among the horticulture crops, fruits are the most utilized commodities. Processed, minimally processed, and raw forms are consumed because of their nutrients and bioactive compounds. Increased population has significantly increased the demand for the production and processing of fruits and their products. This over-production by processing industries leads to the production of a large amount of waste and by-products, which has created serious economic, environmental, and economic issues. To overcome these issues the utilization of waste and by-products is highly considered by researchers and scientists. The peels, unused flesh, seeds, pomace, and albedo are the major by-product, rich in many valuable compounds. These compounds are used by many industries as economical, low-cost, and natural sources of antioxidants, dietary fiber, enzymes, pectin, organic acids essential oils, food additives, etc. This paper aims to highlight the utilization of by-products from various fruits.

Keywords: Fruits by-product; Biomolecules; Extraction techniques; Valorization.
