Summary
Abstract Plant waste, such as fruit and vegetable waste, has become a striking environmental, economic, as well as food safety issue. Fruit wastes, for example, fruit peel, pomace, skin, rag, and seed fragment, act as feedstock for extracting numerous bioactive compounds, that is, phenolics, pectin, lipids, etc. These bioactive compounds show antioxidant activity which is primarily beneficial for reducing health issues in humans (e.g., alzheimer, cancer, diabetes, etc). Conventional extraction methods for extracting bioactive compounds suffer from large energy consumption, greater solvent usage, and reduced quality/quantity of bioactive compounds, all of which necessitate a shift toward non‐conventional methods. This review article discusses the green solvent extraction methods, especially
