Abstract:
Fruit waste is a major byproduct of the food industry and its disposal causes serious environmental problems. However, fruit waste is also a rich source of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, carotenoids, and flavonoids that have potential health benefits. This review paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the extraction techniques used for the recovery of bioactive compounds from fruit waste, their health benefits, and their applications. The paper also discusses future perspectives and recommendations for the effective utilization of fruit waste. The paper discusses different extraction techniques such as conventional and non-conventional employed in different fruit waste materials. The health benefits section highlights the potential of bioactive compounds from fruit waste in the prevention and treatment of various diseases such as diabetics, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes. This review emphasizes the recommendations such as optimizing the extraction conditions to maximize the recovery of bioactive compounds and the need for further research to explore the potential of fruit waste-derived bioactive compounds in various fields. In conclusion, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the extraction techniques, health benefits, and applications of bioactive compounds from fruit waste. The paper highlights the potential of fruit waste-derived bioactive compounds as a sustainable source of valuable compounds for various industries.
