Abstract

Background

Food waste is a major worldwide problem due to the increasing population and imbalances in supply chains. Waste from fruits and vegetables are a substantial proportion of the overall food waste generated, accounting for approximately 42% of the waste produced. Methane, a strong greenhouse gas with a significant potential for global warming, is produced when these waste products are typically dumped in landfills.

Objectives

The study's goal is to present a thorough overview of the most recent findings and developments in the use of vegetable and fruit waste for creating therapeutic formulations. Recognizing the opportunities and challenges in this developing area of study, as well as the promise that vegetable and fruit waste contains for the creation of environmentally friendly and economically advantageous pharmaceutical formulations.

Methods

A comprehensive review of existing literature on the utilization of vegetable and fruit waste in pharmaceutical formulations was conducted. The review included studies on the chemical composition and bioactive compounds present in various types of vegetable and fruit waste, their extraction methods, and their potential applications in pharmaceutical formulations. Additionally, current waste management practices and challenges associated with waste disposal were also analyzed.

Conclusion

The review highlights the significant potential of vegetable and fruit waste in the development of pharmaceutical formulations. Fruit and vegetable waste offer a wide range of bioactive compounds, such as antioxidants, antimicrobials, and antiinflammatory agents, which could be utilized in drug formulation. Moreover, this approach can promote environmental sustainability by reducing waste generation and enhancing waste utilization. Further research and development efforts should focus on optimizing extraction methods, evaluating the efficacy and safety of waste-derived compounds, and addressing regulatory requirements for integrating vegetable and fruit waste into pharmaceutical products. Harnessing the potential of vegetable and fruit waste in pharmaceutical formulations can lead to sustainable advancements in the pharmaceutical industry while addressing environmental concerns.
