Identification of Fruit Pomace and Utilization of Grape Peel for Value Added Products

Abstract

Wastes from food which is a biodegradable one and its accumulation are newlinebecoming a major critical problem around the world. Major sources include waste newlinedischarges from food processing industries, household and hospitality sectors. newlineThe main reason for this is due to the continuous increase in the world population newlinewhich leads to serious threats like environmental pollution, health risks, and newlinescarcity of dumping land. Due to inherited high risk for human health and newlineincreasing environmental burdens, food waste, and its management becoming newlinethe major challenges in our fast-growing world (Pratish et al., 2017). newlineEconomic growth inevitably influences the Food chain. As a result of newlinegrowing demand with changes in lifestyle and health consciousness, usages of newlinepackaged and prepared foods are increasing day by day. Resources like energy newlineand water consumption are directly getting affected by Food production and newlinewaste generation which often contaminate the environment. Half of the grown newlinefoods are discarded as waste even before and after food reaches the consumers. newlineMost of the landfill wastes are caused by these food sectors (Lin et al.,). newlineFood wastage refers to any food lost by deterioration and thus the term newlineand#8213;Wastageand#8214; encompasses both Food loss and Food waste. It has been estimated newlinethat each year, one third of the foods which are produced for human newlineconsumption is getting wasted (or) getting lost in the world (FAO, 2013). newlineTherefore quotReducing food loss and wastagequot is the main thing created by the newlinefoundation World Resources Report 2013 2014: creating sustainable food newlinefuture and thus to meet the demand of 2050 population, Food wastes are getting newlinereduced which avoids scarce natural resources pressure and also decreases the newlineneed to raise food production by 60 percent. In Asia, Latin America, and Europe, newlinedue to these food wastage volumes Fruit waste emerge as a blue water newlinehotspot. It was estimated that 1.3G tonnes of foods are getting wasted worldwide
