Abstract:
Wastes from fruits and vegetables can be found all along the supply chain and vary greatly based on how they were processed. Between 10 and 60 percent of waste or byproducts were produced by the preparation of fruits and vegetables in liquid and solid states. Waste material should be used in a way that allows the greatest advantages to be obtained without causing financial loss or environmental problems. Therefore, waste products produced from these by aerobic or anaerobic treatment, biogas production, the creation of animal feed, and the production of value-added goods, industries can be used for landfill and composting. Fruits and vegetables are perishable, so their waste rapidly goes bad. As a result, garbage disposal is a severe issue since it attracts rats and insects. The use of fruit and vegetable waste for the bioconversion of renewable energy is growing in popularity because it has been shown to be an effective way to use the leftover perishable vegetable material. Livestock is currently one of the agricultural subsectors in emerging countries that is expanding at the fastest rate. According to recent research, processing byproducts from fruits and vegetables can be employed as functional feed ingredients in farm animals' diets. The research done on fruits and vegetables for their use in various ways is the topic of the current review.
