Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) is a part of the Moraceae family, normally found in abundance in tropic and sub-tropic regions of Asia and it has been found to have various beneficial compounds which treat diseases. An environmental concern that surrounds the disposal of the unutilized parts as for e.g.: peel, perianth, rind, outer core etc. of fruits is the increase in bio-waste accumulation. The presence of bioactive components in the peels of fruit termed as wastes have plenty of benefits for humans and can act as good antimicrobial components in agriculture. This literature review was carried out to have a detailed understanding on the pharmacological and phytochemical characteristics of jackfruit peels. This review paper is designed by considering some latest findings of several researchers in this area and mainly focused on the availability and exploitation of functional constituents as for e.g.: flavonoids, polyphenolics, steroids, tannins, saponins and terpenoids and triterpenoids.
