Kinnow is a citrus fruit that is extensively cultivated in India, Pakistan and other countries. The production of Kinnow generates a significant amount of waste, including peel, seeds, and pulp. The disposal of this waste is a major environmental issue, as it can lead to pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, there is a growing interest in finding ways to valorize Kinnow waste. There are studies which focused on using Kinnow waste for the production of biofuels, biopolymers, and other value-added products. The utilization of Kinnow waste for these purposes can help to reduce the environmental impact of Kinnow production and generate economic benefits for farmers and other stakeholders. The research on Kinnow waste valorization is still in its early stages, but it has the potential to contribute to sustainable development in the citrus industry.
