Among all the phytochemicals, phenolics were common in all selected peel powders. The mineral analysis was conducted for both trace elements (Copper, Zinc, Iron, Manganese and Potassium) and toxic elements (Cadmium and Lead). Results: The results of the study indicated that all the selected peel powders showed notable trace elements and negligible amount of toxic elements. Conclusion: Based on the results it was concluded that the fruit peels are no more waste but excellent source of phytoconstituents  and minerals.
