Jackfruit is a potential natural resource for many valuable biomaterials. The wastes from jackfruit are rich in carbohydrate, proteins, fats and phytochemicals. These wastes can be used as feedstock for the development of various bioproducts. The pretreatment strategies like biological, physical and chemical methods are being used for effective valorization of fruit wastes into value added products, like bioethanol, biogas, bioplastics, feeds, functional food additives, and other useful compounds. Bioenergy production from such renewable resources is an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative option of fuels, unlike fossil fuels. The efficient bioconversion of fruit waste into useful biomaterials is facilitated by microbial fermentation process. Also, jackfruit peel is applied in the pollution abatement by remediation of dyes color from contaminated aquatic environment. Such technology can be used to develop a green economic model for waste utilization. This review addressed the utilization feasibility of jackfruit waste to produce value added products in order to reduce wastes and protect environment in a sustainable way.

This study presents an environmentally benign composite hydrogel system by combining polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with carboxymethyl cellulose derived from jackfruit peel waste (JCMC), subsequently reinforced with graphene oxide (GO) and Kaolin nanoparticles for enhanced Congo red (CR) adsorption. The structural properties of the synthesized hydrogels were comprehensively characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). FTIR analysis confirmed hydrogel formation through hydrogen bonding interactions, while XRD and SEM revealed the uniform dispersion of GO and Kaolin within the polymer matrix, resulting in an improved adsorption performance.

Fluorescent nitrogen-doped carbon dots (CDs) were prepared by a facile hydrothermal treatment from the waste biomass jackfruit peel. Structural, optical and morphological characterisation revealed that the functional groups on the surface of the CDs provided them with good aqueous solubility and excellent stability against different experimental conditions. From zeta potential analysis, the surface of the CDs was found to be negatively charged (-23.

In this work, a novel nanocomposite (NC) was fabricated by ultrasonically self-assembling bismuthene(Biene) nanosheets with nitrogen and sulfur-doped carbon spheres (NSCS) derivedfrom Artocarpus heterophyllus peel waste. Structural and morphological analysesconfirmed the successful integration of Biene into the NSCS matrix, forming ahierarchical architecture with a high specific surface area (1994 m g) anduniform elemental dispersion. Density functional theory (DFT) calculationsrevealed a substantial bandgap reduction from 0.

Fruit wastes have been considered as environmental pollution. Jackfruit is a good source of nutrients and bioactive compounds, meaning that its use in animal feed could contribute to waste reduction. The objective of this research was to evaluate the different parts of jackfruit (seed, pulp, and peel) as an agro-industrial waste on the productive parameters, carcass traits, and meat quality of rabbits.
