health applications, pineapple, productivity, by-product valorization, exporting valueAbstract
The data, focusing on the supply of pineapple for industrial processing in Thailand during the period from 2011-2020, was acquired. The data indicated that productivity had tended to decrease during the period between 2011-2015 due to phenomena of drought and a reduction in prices, while increasing trends were observed during the years between 2016 - 2019. In the year 2020, Thailand was the biggest exporter of canned pineapple in the world, and the export value was approximately 345 million U.S. dollars. During the process, the generated by-products were peels, cores, stems, and crowns at approximately 35.5, 14.7, 4.6, and 4.3%, respectively. Based on the annual production of 1,689,884 tons, the total by-products from pineapple processing would generate 993,402.4 tons, which could be divided into peels, cores, stems, and crowns at 596,713.8, 247,089.9, 773,20.7, and 722,78.0 tons, respectively. Valorization of by-product for health applications such as pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and health food has been reviewed.
