“…Palm pressed fiber is a form of recovered fiber from pressed palm fruits which is rich in carotenoids, vitamin E (tocopherol and tocotrienols), and sterols, and has been used for the recovery of palm pressed fiber oil which contains significant quantities of carotenoids (4000-6000 ppm), vitamin E (2400 3500 ppm), sterols (4500-8500 ppm), and coenzyme Q10 quantities greater than those found in crude palm oil [131]. As a result, palm pressed fiber oil has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties [132] which can be applied in the development of functional foods. The presence of phosphorus in palm pressed fiber oil further enhances its antioxidant properties, and this phosphorus can be extracted for use as a food additive [133].…”

Agricultural production, agro-industrial food processing, distribution and consumption generate high Amounts of varied food by-products and waste which place a heavy burden on the environment and cause losses to the food industry. The most common disposal methods of food wastes are the use of landfills and incineration, which lead to several environmental, social, and economic issues. However, many of these by-products and wastes have been reported to be higher than the final product in terms of nutritional or functional properties, making them potential raw materials for application in the agro-food industry. Together with the recent sustainable development goals of food security, environmental protection, and energy efficiency, these are the key reasons why food waste valorization is necessary. Valorization of food waste within the bio-economy approach offers an economical and environmental opportunity that can serve as a solution to the issues faced with the conventional disposal methods. Traditionally, in Africa, especially in Cameroon, food by-products and waste have been valorized into a range of products for application in food and food preparation, including food additives and spices, food emulsifiers and stabilizers, food salts and nutraceuticals. Traditional Waste valorization methods could achieve sustainable development in technologically underdeveloped countries by going beyond improving agro-food waste management to the production of useful biochemicals, food ingredients and food products, which can be referred to as value added products from waste. In addition, the processing and conversion of these agro-food by-products and waste generated in the poor regions of the world for the production and formulation of novel foods and biochemicals will directly benefit the local communities by reducing environmental pollution and increasing income in the food industry. This review aims at providing insight into current trends in food waste valorization using traditional methods in an African country such as Cameroon. This paper presents the variety and type of food waste within the food chain that can be valorized into various products using traditional methods. Furthermore, a series of examples of key food waste valorization schemes and value added products as case studies to demonstrate the advancement in traditional bioconversions are described, bringing out the opportunities and challenges for the Cameroon bioeconomy.

“…Palm‐pressed mesocarp fiber is mainly used as the burning fuel in the boilers [48] and to generate electricity in the palm oil mills. The piling up of PPMF under high humidity conditions may cause environmental issues such as microorganism incubation and release of methane gas and odour.…”

The Refined, Bleached and Deodorized (RBD) Coconut Oil (CO) and RBD Palm Oil (PO) are heavily consumed as cooking oils by Asians. Recently, Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) and Palm‐pressed Mesocarp Oil (PPMO) emerged into the market as functional oils. A number of studies were conducted to extract these edible oils by using different methods and conditions. Thus, this review focuses on the extraction methods of CO, VCO, CPO and PPMO, together with their yields and phytonutrient profiles. Phytonutrients such as carotenoids, tocopherol and tocotrienols, squalene, phytosterol and coenzyme Q10 were found in all the oils with various concentrations depending on their respective extraction methods. Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) showed the highest efficiency in extracting VCO and PPMO among the extraction methods, in terms of yield and phytonutrient contents. VCO extracted by SFE contains higher medium chain fatty acids which promotes good digestibility when compared to other extraction methods. PPMO extracted by SFE is clean with a pleasant aroma without the presence of the gums and contains a lower amount of phospholipids. Furthermore, water soluble‐phenolics were found to be present in the PPMO that contribute to its antioxidant activity. Thus, SFE is highly recommended for the extraction of VCO and PPMO.

“…On the contrary, it has been found to contains various types of phytonutrients, including vitamin E, carotenoids, tocopherol, tocotrienols, squalene, phytosterol and coenzyme Q10 4−6) . However, its applications are limited to non-food industry such as cosmeceutical products, supplementary ingredients for animal feed formulation and alternative carrier oil in personal care products 5,7) . The commercial oils such as perilla (Perilla frutescens) seed oil 8) , fermented virgin pathological indicators, organ weight and histopathological indicators of the animals 8,9) .This study reported the thresholds of PPMO in terms of animal exposure and safety by conducting the acute and sub-chronic toxicity studies of PPMO in Sprague-Dawley rats.…”
