Bioactive Compounds from Kinnow Processing Waste and their Associated Benefits: A Review

Abstract

We have explored the expansive possibilities of kinnow peel, a frequently ignored by-product of the fruit processing industry, in this thorough analysis. The production of kinnow generates a significant amount of waste, including peel, seeds, and pulp. The disposal of this waste is a major environmental issue, as it can lead to pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Due to the presence of bioactive substances that may be used in a variety of sectors, kinnow processing waste has the potential to provide a number of advantages. In the culinary, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries, the peel, seeds, and pulp from kinnow can be used as natural sources of antioxidants, aromatics, pectin, and dietary fibre. Utilizing kinnow waste promotes eco-innovation, increases sustainability, and aids in waste reduction. The development of a circular economy can be sped up with more study and commercialization of kinnow waste products. This analysis emphasises how important it is to understand and utilise the unrealized potential of agricultural byproducts, like kinnow peel.

Keywords: Kinnow; bioactive compounds; health benefits; kinnow waste; nutritional benefits.; sustainable development.
