Introduction 
 The economic success of any food processing industry up 
to an extend depends upon the utilization of waste 
products that are produced during the varies stages of 
processing. 
 During the canning of fruits and vegetables and while 
preparing the juices, jams , jellies, dried products etc, 
large quantities of wastes materials are being left over. 
these wastes have to be utilizes for the manufacturing by 
product in order to reduce the cost of production main 
products.
 From 10% - 75% of the fruit and 
vegetables that are processed in contribute 
to an estimated two lack tons of an 
underutilized energy resource in the world. 
Some of this waste ends up as animal feed 
and some is returned to the land as a 
nutrient. It is an important fact, that waste 
of fruit and vegetable is a potential energy 
source, methane. 
 Up to 50% of fruit and vegetable waste 
could be potentially converted to this fuel. 
The anaerobic digestion of vegetable by 
products has the potential to produce both 
energy (methane) and heat.
 Most agricultural anaerobic digestion systems will 
use manure as a primary component and add 
materials such as vegetable waste. 
 Commonly used methods of managing fruit 
and vegetable waste are: 
 Return fruit and vegetable waste to the field on 
which it was grown 
 Store the culled fruit and vegetables in a pile or 
burned area for a limited time 
 Feed fruit and vegetable waste to livestock 
 Process fruit and vegetable waste to separate 
juice from pulp 
 Dispose of fruit and vegetable waste in landfill 
areas.
 APPLE 
 Apple pomace left over after the processing of 
juice can be dried for cattle feed. 
The pomace can also be used for the produce 
pectin. 
 The pomace is heated at a ph of 3.0 for 1 and 
half hours at about 190˚ F or 30-40 minutes at 
212˚F. 
 Addition of 0.2 percent citric tartarise or lactic acid 
gives better results. 
 After boiling the pomace is pressed and the 
solution is clarified by setting or by centrifugal 
treatment. 
 The starch and protein present is removed by 
adding enzymes.
 The liquid is further heated to kill the enzymes 
and decolorizes with activated carbon. 
 After that it is filtered using filter paper . 
 The pectin content in the filtrate will be around 
0.7 – 1 %. 
 It is then concentrated under reduced pressure to 
4.5 % pectin , the product can be standardized 
using jelly tests. 
 Apple pomace being a rich source of pectin and 
fairly good sources of sugars can be utilized for 
the preparation of jellies, jams etc.,
APRICOT 
 Kernels (The inner and usually edible 
part of a seed or grain or nut or fruit 
stone) 
 They can also be used in confectionery. 
 Edible oil can be extracted, The kernels 
contain 49% oil which was extracted 
using n-hexane. The oil was rich in oleic 
acid 
 The kernels can be utilized in cosmetic 
and pharmaceutical preparations. 
 The kernels are some times used for 
making paste which are usually made 
from almonds.
BANANA
 BANANA 
 Banana pseudo stem products 
 Tender banana stem is generally used as a 
vegetable and has high medicinal values. Sweet 
candy is prepared from tender banana pseudo stem 
 apart from this the wastage obtained from this is 
used for paper industries for One of the materials 
found to be promising was banana stem waste, 
which is a very good source of cellulose. 
Various uses include: Acoustic panels, Partition 
walls and other utilities, Packing material, Files 
and cover paper, Expansion joint pads, etc,.
BANANA FIBER EXTRACTION: 
Banana Fiber is extracted from Banana tree bark. 
This fiber is then used for making various 
products in attractive designs of various sizes. 
• Coasters 
• Table Mats 
• Bags 
• Floor Mats 
• Home Furnishings

AGROWASTE UTILIZATION IN BANANA PEEL 
 Banana peels and waste are readily available 
agricultural waste, yet they seem to be under utilized as 
potential growth medium for local yeast strain, despite their 
rich carbohydrate content and other basic nutrients that can 
support yeast growth. 
 It is mostly used in preparation of media.
Use of Banana leaves 
The large leaves of bananas and plantains are put to a 
diversity of uses. They make ideal green umbrellas and 
are frequently used as disposable plates. 
The use of banana leaves as a “biological plate” for 
serving food has gained such popularity in Southern 
India that bananas cultivated exclusively for their 
leaves are now being grown commercially. 
In many countries, banana leaves are also used for 
thatching and for wrapping food for cooking.
MEDICINAL 
Because they contain vitamin A, bananas and plantains 
act as an aid to digestion, and it is reported that boiled, 
mashed ripe fruit can be good for constipation, 
especially when mixed with other recommended 
plants. 
The juice from the male bud provides an apparent 
remedy for stomach problems in people of all ages, 
while there are reports of the ripe fruit being used in 
the treatment of asthma and bronchitis.
Finally, some other minor, but extremely varied, 
uses of the plant include the use of banana seeds 
for making necklaces and other ornaments, the use 
of banana sap as a dye, the use of the fruit as a 
meat tenderizer and the use of banana ash in soap. 
 In Indonesia, the production of floor wax and 
shoe polish from banana peels is also being 
explored
CHERRY
Cheery 
 Fruit kernels of cherry can be used 
for edible oil extraction. 
 Cherry kernels yield 30% of edible 
oil on dry basis.
CITRUS FRUITS

VEGETABLES
BEANS
Beans 
 The waste are pods and crop tops 
which occur at the harvesting end. 
These can be used in fresh 
condition to feed cattle or ploughed 
into the field to serve as manure. 
 Green crop parts can be utilized to 
get chlorophyll it can also be 
converted into silage.
POTATO
 Potato waste is an excellent source of energy 
for feeding cattle. It has energy values similar 
to corn and barley while being low in calcium 
and protein. 
 The starch product, obtained by drying the 
debris recovered from peeling potatoes, is 
recommended for use in drilling muds 
 Medical and biological sciences are 
researching uses of solanine, chaconine, and 
leptine extracted from potato wastes. 
 Chlorogenic acid (CGA), a naturally occurring 
phenolic compound found in fruits and 
vegetables, is readily extractable from potato 
peels.
TOMATO
• Processing of tomato results in generation of 
large amounts of wastes or by-products i.e. 
seeds, skins and pulp. 
• These by-products are good sources of many 
important bioactive substances like lycopene, β 
catotene, polyphenols, sterols, terpenes, 
tocopherols etc.. 
• These bioactive compounds can be utilized as 
functional ingredients or additives in preparation 
of functional foods. 
• Caroteniods may be extracted by using hexane 
and ethyl acetate as solvents 
• The recovery caroteniods is about 37 mg /kg 
waste 
• Lycopene, beta carotene and lutein have role in 
prevention and reduction of incidence of various 
diseases i.e. heart diseases, hardening of arteries
MEAT 
MEA 
T
By-products in the meat 
industry and their utilization 
Blood 
 Hair 
Skin 
Hoofs bones
 Blood 
 Blood is the main waste product of meat industry 
this waste can be recovered to produce some 
useful products like fertilizers feedstuffs binders 
and other items. 
 Blood is used in food as an emulsifier, a stabilizer, 
a clarifier, a colour additive, and as a nutritional 
component. 
 Most blood is used in livestock feed in the form of 
blood meal. 
 Plasma is the best water and fat binder of the 
blood fraction. 
 Blood plasma also has an excellent foaming 
capacity and can be used to replace egg whites 
in the baking industry.
Skin 
• Animal hides have been used for 
shelters, clothing and as containers by 
human beings since prehistoric times. 
• Hides and skins are generally one of 
the most valuable by-products from 
animals. Examples of finished products 
from the hides of cattle and pigs, and 
from sheep pelts, are leather shoes and 
bags, athletic equipment, reformed 
sausage casing and cosmetic products, 
sausage skins, edible gelatine and glue
Hairs 
 Used for producing winter cloths 
like hot tops caps, coat and hand 
gloves.

fine fibers 
 And also hairs are cleaned and 
washed with lime an water to 
produce a good quality resin. 
 These resin are found to be high 
strength
BONES 
• The marrow inside some of the bones can also 
be used as food. 
• Bones can be used as fertilizers like calcium 
ammonium nitrate, Calcium superphosphates 
• These are mainly used for preparing the 
gelatin/glue.
SUGERCANE
 Sugarcane produces mainly two types of 
biomass, Cane Trash and Bagasse. 
 Cane Trash is the field residue remaining after 
harvesting the Cane stalk and Bagasse is the 
milling by-product which remains after extracting 
sugar from the stalk. 
 Bagasse is commonly used as a substitute for 
wood in many tropical and subtropical countries 
for the production paper and board. 
 On the other hand, Bagasse has been 
traditionally used as a fuel in the Sugar mill
