The fruit production and processing sectors produce tremendous amounts of by-products and waste that cause significant economic losses and an undesirable impact on the environment. The effective utilization of these fruit wastes can help to reduce the carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions, thereby achieving sustainable development goals. These by-products contain a variety of bioactive compounds, such as dietary fiber, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, antioxidants, polysaccharides, and several other health-promoting nutrients and phytochemicals. These bioactive compounds can be extracted and used as value-added products in different industrial applications. The bioactive components extracted can be used in developing nutraceutical products, functional foods, or food additives. This review provides a comprehensive review of the recent developments in fruit waste valorization techniques and their application in food industries. The various extraction techniques, including conventional and emerging methods, have been discussed. The antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the active compounds extracted and isolated from fruit waste have been described. The most important food industrial application of bioactive compounds extracted from fruit waste (FW) has been provided. Finally, challenges, future direction, and concluding remarks on the topic are summarized.
水果生产和加工行业产生大量的副产品和废弃物，造成了巨大的经济损失，并对环境产生不良影响。有效利用这些水果废弃物有助于减少碳足迹和温室气体排放，从而实现可持续发展目标。这些副产品含有多种生物活性化合物，如膳食纤维、类黄酮、酚类化合物、抗氧化剂、多糖以及其他几种促进健康的营养物质和植物化学物质。这些生物活性化合物可以被提取出来，并在不同的工业应用中用作增值产品。提取的生物活性成分可用于开发营养保健品、功能性食品或食品添加剂。本综述全面回顾了水果废弃物增值技术的最新进展及其在食品工业中的应用。讨论了各种提取技术，包括传统方法和新兴方法。描述了从水果废弃物中提取和分离的活性化合物的抗氧化和抗菌活性。提供了从水果废弃物（FW）中提取的生物活性化合物在食品工业中最重要的应用。最后，总结了该主题的挑战、未来方向和结论。
