Dietary fibre obtained from exotic fruit co-products represents a potential material for use as an ingredient in the food industry due to the high total dietary fibre content and a balanced ratio between insoluble dietary fibre and soluble dietary fibre, itself important for the nutritional effects of fibre. These co-products show considerable levels of polyphenolic compounds having high levels of antioxidant capacity. Due to the low cost of fruit co-products, which otherwise would be discharged as waste into the environment, they should be regarded as potential nutraceutical resources, capable of offering significant low-cost, nutritional dietary supplements for low-income communities. In addition, they could also be used in the pharmaceutical sector as a nutritional supplement due to the health-related properties of dietary fibre and associated bioactive compounds.
