Abstract:
There are portions of both edible and non-edible waste in every food source. In order to use the most amount of plant or animal resources, modern agriculture is concentrating on agro-processing to meet the growing demand for food and feed. The goal of this review study is to provide an overview of the current state of jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam, Moraceae) waste usage in the food, feed, and other industries. Other than the inedible parts like the peel and axis, edible byproducts like jackfruit seeds are largely underutilized. In addition to the luscious edible bulbs, this article has reviewed works that use other jackfruit waste parts. Numerous studies have suggested using the jackfruit's thick peel for biofuel production, nutrient-rich cattle feeds, nano-porous adsorbents for removing dye, etc. Pectin extraction from the fruit's peel and central axis has also been studied. Numerous studies have tried to employ jackfruit seeds in different baked goods.
