Abstract
Reducing food losses along the food chain system could have a positive impact on food security, economic growth, and also the climate. Fresh vegetables and fruits are highly perishable products and hence contribute to higher food waste compared to other commodities. This chapter identifies the potential utilization of vegetable and fruit waste based on its nutritional characterization and the appropriate technological approach for the conversion of food wastage into value-added products. The value addition of these wastes by drying technologies and extraction methods to preserve the desirable attributes can help to facilitate effective food production and can be an alternative market option for other associated industries.
