Abstract

The jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus), a particular member of the Moraceae family, is abundantly found in Asia's tropical and subtropical regions, and it has been reported to have a range of useful properties that treat ailments. Jackfruit contains both edible fractions e.g. seed and inedible fractions e.g. peel, rags, latex, perianth, core which are generally disposed of into the environment directly as waste and thereby causing an environmental concern as it leads to bio-waste accumulation. The existence of multiple beneficial compounds in the discarded parts of fruit contributes to its usage as a raw material in various food products such as bread, cake, cookies, extruded products, etc and also in various other sectors such as the fuel, cosmetics, pharmaceutical industries etc. This literature analysis was conducted to gain a good comprehension of changing trends in the Jackfruit waste utilization scenario, shaping up into the formation of value added food products. This review paper is designed by considering some latest findings of several researchers in this area.

Contribution/ Originality

About 60% and above of the jackfruit is normally discarded as waste, however researchers from all over the world has found out various ways through which the waste can be treated and utilized in order to reduce waste disposal and increase sustainability. This review paper has been designed to compile those findings in order to get a clear picture of the jackfruit waste valorization scenario.

1. INTRODUCTION

In regions where jackfruit is grown and processed, it is underutilized because of its short shelf life and lack of processing facilities. Only 35% of the jackfruit's whole fruit is edible, with 60% consisting of inedible prickly rind, rags, latex, and seeds (Ranasinghe, Maduwanthi, & Marapana, 2019). A highly perishable fruit, jackfruit flesh is often subject to flavour loss, tissue softening, and browning on the cut surface (Mondal et al., 2013). Bruising and mechanical injury are more likely to occur when the fruit is softened (Ramli, 2009). The postharvest handling and inadequate storage facilities in the areas where jackfruit is processed and marketed result in the rapid degradation of large quantities of ripe jackfruit after harvesting (Saxena, Bawa, & Raju, 2011).

The high perishability of jackfruit reduces its cost-effectiveness because it has to be exported as whole fruits than other fruits. Due to the uncertain shape and size of the fruit, the packaging design gets very cumbersome, and the sturdy body and sticky latex make the preparation very difficult (Ramli, 2009). Peeling is very difficult in the case of Jackfruit since it’s a large fruit. Inconsistencies in size and shape make packaging very difficult and the rough and thick skin and the latex make preparation difficult. Furthermore, segregating jackfruit edible bulbs from the rind is a manual labor exertion process and requires loads of time, which makes it an impractical option for the metropolitan inhabitants. A great deal of inedible parts is generated in jackfruit processing industries, and they are usually used as animal feed (Akter & Haque, 2019). There have been a few studies devoted to investigating how these wastes could be converted into augmented products. The result is a sizeable load of jackfruit waste being disposed of, which has serious suggestions for waste disposal and the surroundings. For this reason, it is crucial that commercial jackfruit handling employs modern processing automation and a sustainable waste control approach.

It has only been possible to conduct limited studies on Jackfruit waste counterparts. Adan, Ojwang, Muge, Mwanza, and Nyaboga (2020) found out that the peel and fibres of jackfruit have many bioactive compounds. The latex of jackfruit which has a sticky nature and is often looked down upon has also been discovered to have antioxidants and anti-cancer properties (Samrot & Sea, 2022). The Jackfruit seeds though edible are often thrown as waste because of the lack of significant flavor. The Jackfruit rags which surround the bulb of the fruit are rich in various compounds like cellulose, protein, reduced sugar and pectin however they are discarded as waste because of the chewy texture (Dam & Nguyen, 2012).

2. UNUTILIZED PARTS OF THE JACKFRUIT

2.1. Jackfruit Seed

In general, jackfruit seeds are discarded as waste, but they are beneficial in terms of nutrition. Jackfruit seeds represent about 10-15% of the fruit mass (Hossain et al., 2014). Numerous difficulties arise during processing and storage because of its perishable nature and thus large numbers of seeds are disposed per annum. In order to acquire a shelf-stable jackfruit seed product, they are normally roasted and ground into powdered form. In bakery and confectionary industries, jackfruit seed powder is used as a substitute for wheat flour and other types of flour (Hossain et al., 2014). Alternatively, the seeds are boiled or roasted and are also used as a supplement for potatoes. The seeds of jackfruit could serve as an economically feasible protein source for malnourished people (Chowdhury, Bhattacharyya, & Chattopadhyay, 2012). Due to its capability to come up with supplementary physiological advantages alongside basic nutrition, it is a crucial functional ingredient.

2.1.1. Nutritional Profile

Detailed research is yet to be done on the nutritional assets of Jackfruit seeds. Gohain Barua and Boruah (2004) recorded the presence of Iron (Fe), Manganese(Mn) and Magnesium(Mg) through emission and Fourier transform infrared spectra.

2.1.2. Pre-Processing Methods of Jackfruit Seed

Various methods are involved in the pre-processing of Jackfruit seeds in order to make it suitable for further incorporation into various food products.  The seeds after undergoing the processing treatments undergo various changes in their physico-chemical properties. The processed seeds are then milled to flour and are used for further applications. The seeds are mainly pre-processed by techniques such as baking, pan roasting, pressure cooking and microwave roasting. After being subjected to various pre-treatments they exhibit various changes in their physico-chemical properties which are shown in a schematic diagram down below.

Figure 1 illustrates the pre-processing methods of jackfruit seeds and their effects

2.1.3. Value-Added Food Products

Value addition of a food product refers to the inclusion of a certain component that is not originally present in the product, thereby improving its overall value/utility. Modern food processing technologies can be used to incorporate a new beneficial ingredient or packaging visuals can be improved to target a certain demographic. Examples of value-added products involve juices, bread, extruded products, jam, jellies, breakfast cereals, etc.

Jackfruit seeds have a very good nutritional profile but they are underutilized and mostly go to waste. However, in recent times they are being used as a substitute for wheat flour and other types of flour in the bakery and confectionary industry (Hossain et al., 2014). Chowdhury et al. (2012)found out that the jackfruit seed flour and its blends have exceptional water and oil absorption capabilities, and up to 15% (w/w) blending may be recommended for use in bread development moreover, it can also be used as a protein alternative and functional component for the purpose of improved human nutrition.

2.3. Jackfruit Latex

Jackfruit produces latex from the fruits, stem, bark, leaves. The latex is white in colour and has a sticky nature i.e. it has gum-like properties. It tends to coagulate when in contact with air and has a characteristic fruity smell. The chemical composition of jackfruit is that it is rich in lipid-derived waxy substances, proteins, secondary plant metabolites like flavonoids, alkaloids and tannins (Krishnan Sundarrajan & Pottail, 2021). It grabs very less interest in terms of commerce or market but it has high potential because it has antioxidant properties which is highly beneficial to human health (Samrot & Sea, 2022). According to Swami, Thakor, Haldankar, and Kalse (2012), pharyngitis, snakebites and glandular swellings can also be cured by the jackfruit latex. Not much scientific activities have been found regarding the jackfruit latex and its usage in the food industry but it definitely has an impact in the medicinal or pharmaceutical industry.

2.3.1. Profile of Jackfruit Latex

According to Samrot and Sean (2021) latex extract exhibited the presence of 1,2-benzoldicarbonsaeure, nonpolar compounds and antioxidant activities.

2.4. Jackfruit Peel

Jackfruit peels consists of various beneficial compounds such phenols and flavonols (Zhang et al., 2017). They also contain various other compounds such as ascorbic acid, polyphenols (catechins and chlorogenic acid) and β-carotene (Sharma, Gupta, & Verma, 2015).

They are also a rich source of pectin; consists about 8-15% of pectin in dry matter (Xu et al., 2018).  Cellulose is also predominantly present in a range of 20-30% in the peel. Adan et al. (2020) found out that jackfruit peel had abundant minerals, such as potassium, magnesium, zinc, manganese, sodium, copper, calcium through Atomic Absorption spectrometry (AAS).

3. CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE PERSPECTIVES

This literature study revealed that there are various potential applications of jackfruit waste and there are numerous benefits of each waste part of this seasonal fruit. Thus, using it as a raw material can serve as a major step toward environmental waste remediation. The various waste parts of jackfruit have nutrients that can serve as a good source for industrial applications. Jackfruit seeds mostly have been the most researched upon, out of all the waste parts, being rich in carbohydrates and phenolic compounds it can serve as an excellent food source. Jackfruit peel has also been found to be rich in carbohydrates, fibres and pectin. The pectin derived from the jackfruit peel has been found to have properties which can compete with the commercial grade pectin found in the market (Begum, Aziz, Yusof, Saifullah, & Uddin, 2021). Jackfruit rags possess cellulose, protein and reduced sugar (Dam & Nguyen, 2012). Lastly, jackfruit latex has antioxidant properties (Samrot & Sea, 2022). Investigations also led to finding that the rags can serve as a binder for formulating tablets (Gohain & Sahu, 2017). Putting all the above points together we can come to a conclusion that although Jackfruit comprises of 60% inedible parts, all those waste parts have their own benefits and are rich in physico-chemical composition.

However, Jackfruit being a perishable product attracts less interest from the industrial eye and because most of the fruit parts are considered inedible they are almost neglected despite having various nutritional properties and benefits. Thus, more attention and studies are required to develop appropriate post-harvest and processing methods, reduce post-harvest and production losses, and turn jackfruit waste into value-added products so that jackfruit cultivation, consumption, and waste management in jackfruit processing industries can become more widespread.
