Dragon fruit is a nutritious and wonderful exotic fruit cultivated
throughout the arid regions of the globe, particularly Asian countries.
The fruit with an attractive shape and magnificent color are refreshing
with mouthwatering taste. It is abundant in vital nutritional
ingredients viz. carotene, calcium, fiber, vitamin B, vitamin C, and
phosphorous. The fruit is processed into numerous value-added
products; however, that has been limited to small-scale processing
industries. In addition to pulp processing, the utilization of byproducts
(peel, seed) will contribute to reducing waste disposal
problems, imparts value to the product for food and other industrial
applications. Further, extraction and application of bioactive compounds
from fruit waste having the application for food fortification
can enhance the overall efficacy of the process. This review highlights
the technologies and processes adopted for the overall utilization of
dragon fruit. Further to make rational usage of this valuable resource,
systematic compilation and presentation of reported literature are
required. Therefore, the present work was aimed towards the comprehensive
utilization of this fruit through value addition approaches
and by-product utilization.
