Aim of the Study: The purpose of this study is to explore the potato peels effects on the value-added products on enhancing the nutritional value of food products.

Findings: This review study examines bioactive chemical components in potato peels and their value-added products, as well as their potential usage in various food businesses. Potato peel, in particular, is high in phenolic chemicals. Despite the presence of bioactive substances in both the meat and the peel, the peels are typically discarded during potato eating and processing. As a result, greater research into the exploitation of potato byproducts or trash, such as peels, is required. In addition to phenolic chemicals, they include bioactive components such as glycol alkaloids, polysaccharides, proteins, and vitamins. Potatoes and potato peels have a high potential for inclusion into various functional meals and nutraceuticals due to the increased nutritional content, notably dietary fiber and phenolic chemicals. Although control of bioactive food product improvement is necessary to ensure its safety for human consumption.

Novelty Impact: This review paper will provide a brief overview of nutritional composition, bio-active compounds and application of potato peels in the food industry.
