| Summary: | Potato is the central vegetable crop after rice, wheat and maize having more than 5000
various varieties. Worldwide potato industry generates huge amounts of potato peel waste (PPW)
approximately 70-140 thousand tones. Indecent dumping of such waste in many urban areashave
resulted into contaminated environment raising health concerns. PPW is a major underutilized
substrate whist it comprises many valuable compounds including starch, polysaccharide i.e.,
hemicellulose, cellulose and pectin, protein, lignin, lipid, fiber, ash, moisture and phenolic
compounds such as vanillin, coniferyl, caffeic and ferulic acid which make it an excellent choice for
various industrial sector. PPW, being a good source of valuable compounds including fiber and little
protein content can be used as an exceptional ingredient in animal feed.PPW having considerable
nutritional value along with bioactive and technological important properties, the sustainable
processing of diverse byproducts of this waste offers great interest for pharmaceutical and food
industries. |
