The fried foods are getting popularity despite the trend of low fat intake. The deep frying process is commonly used in fast food industries and at household level. The growth of fried food has demanded continous improvement in the quality of ingredients, frying oil, frying equipment and frying practices for the better quality. Oils extracted from different edible sources and produced under the industrial conditions vary with their cooking quality, functionality and frying life.Summarizing, the results from present study are supportive for the conclusion that the rice bran should be recognized as food grade ingredient and should be used for the purpose of oil extraction. Moreover, bran oil is useful to make quality blends with good shelf and nutrient stability to meet the ever increasing edible oil needs. So it is suggested that rice bran oil blend in 30:70 corn oil can produce good quality fried products and can be a useful addition to the frying oil products.

Globally, the food production and processing industries produce an enormous amount of agro-based food waste, which often contains a wide array of nutrients. Specifically, food waste derived from fruits and vegetables is often used as animal feed in its raw form, since such waste contains nutritious residues, such leaves, stems, roots, tubers, seeds, and at times even whole fruits and vegetables. More recently, however, attention has turned to the potential value of agro-based waste to the chemical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. This is because agro-based food waste has been found to have various beneficial uses: orange peels are a good source of antioxidants; the oil extracted from certain seeds and pits has culinary and cosmetic applications; and the pomace produced from grapes can be used for the production of ethanol, and various textile dyes. This Brief will discuss the various possibilities for utilizing the waste produced from fruit and vegetable processing. It will also cover the different techniques used to extract the beneficial components found in agro-based food waste. ai
