Summary: This review discusses the significant potential of fruit processing waste, which constitutes about 40% of fruit production, to be repurposed into value-added products like biofuels, essential oils, and dietary fibers. By extracting bioactive compounds from wastes, such as citrus peels or mango stones, the industry can reduce environmental impact and create economically valuable products. This approach supports sustainability goals by reducing waste and addressing global environmental challenges.
