Nowadays, fruits are gaining high demand due to their promising advantages on human health.
Astonishingly, their by-products, that is, seeds and peels, account for 10–35% of fruit weight and
are usually thrown as waste after consumption or processing. But it is neglected that fruit seeds
also have functional properties and nutritional value, and thus could be utilized for dietary and
therapeutic purposes, ultimately reducing the waste burden on the environment. Owing to these
benefits, researchers have started to assess the nutritional value of different fruits seeds, in addition
to the chemical composition in various bioactive constituents, like carotenoids (lycopene), flavonoids,
proteins (bioactive peptides), vitamins, etc., that have substantial health benefits and can be used
in formulating different types of food products with noteworthy functional and nutraceutical
potential. The current review aims to comprehend the known information of nutritional and
phytochemical profiling of non-edible fruits seeds, viz. apple, apricot, avocado, cherry, date, jamun,
litchi, longan, mango, and papaya. Additionally, clinical studies conducted on these selected
non-edible fruit seed extracts, their safety issues and their enrichment in food products as well as
animal feed has also been discussed. This review aims to highlight the potential applications of the
non-edible fruit seeds in developing new food products and also provide a viable alternative to
reduce the waste disposal issue faced by agro-based industries
