Abstract :

Today, fruit peels are major agro wastes or by product of fruit processing industry. Pomegranate, orange and papaya are widely consumed and processed. So their disposal of their waste is a major problem. Their peel contains valuable bioactive compounds that can be used in food products. In the present study, carotenoids, phenolics, ascorbic acid content and radical scavenging activity of peels of pomegranate, orange and papaya were observed. Pomegranate peels have highest total phenolic content. Orange peels are good source of ascorbic acid, while papaya peels have highest radical scavenging activity among these three fruit peels.
