Abstract
AbstractReduction of food waste by extensively using raw sources builds good impact on the climate, environment, and food security. Fruits and vegetables are the commodities of horticultural crops that are commonly used. Thus, the waste generated during processing can be proclaimed as a valuable by-product if extensive technological interventions are used to improve the value of successive goods to balance the cost of processing. Fruit and vegetable wastes have great potential for bioconversion into valuable products with biotechnological, biocontrol, bioenergy, and industrial applications. These wastes could serve as a source of edible coating, fat mimetics, fortified probiotics, natural pigment, and volatile compounds in the food industry. Additionally, these wastes can also be used for synthesizing green carbon dots, biochar, and biosorbents that have environmental applications. The utilization of these fruit and vegetable wastes for generating valuable products is a foundation step towards sustainable development. The current chapter discusses the valuable products that can be obtained by bioconversion of waste of fruits and vegetables by enlisting their application in both food and environmental sectors.KeywordsFoodFruitsVegetableFood industryEnvironmental sector
