SELECTION OF UNDERUTILIZED GRAPE FRUIT PARTS AND TO ASSESS THE PHYSIO-CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ITS EXTRACTION

Sasikala. S, Dr. Radhaisri. S, Deeptha Kumar

Abstract :

As world–wide efforts focus on feeding a growing population, the global food industry continues to be burdened by the impacts of food wastes. In fact, it is widely reported that 30 to 40 percent of food produced is never consumed by humans and end up as trash. Reducing the amount of wasted food is a key element in developing a sustainable food system. Various studies have indicated that different kind of food wastes from fruits, vegetables, cereals and other food processing industries can be used as potential source of bioactive compounds and nutraceuticals. Demands for food with natural bioactive compounds interact with biological molecules which give efficient results. The aim of the study is to select an underutilized fruit parts and to assess it physio–chemical characteristics of its extraction.
