Banana is one of the most important food crops which is generally planted in tropical countries and has beneficial applications in the food industry. A large amount of by-products such as leaves, inflorescence, pseudostem, and rhizomes serves as a source for different industries. Most of these by-products may serve as an undervalued commodity with a limited commercial value, application and in some cases, it is considered as an agricultural waste. This also paves the way to utilize a huge amount of untapped biomass and resolve some of the environmental issues. Most of the edible bananas are cultivated mainly for their fruits, thus, banana farms could generate several tons of underused by-products and wastes. The present review mainly discusses the utilization of banana by-products such as peels, leaves, pseudostem, pseudostem juice, stalk, and inflorescence in various industries as a thickening agent, alternative source for renewable energy, nutraceuticals, livestock feed, natural fibers, coloring agents, bioactive compounds, and bio-fertilizers. Banana waste serves as a potential source for the production of valuable products and preserves renewable resources and provides additional income to the farming industries.

香蕉是最重要的粮食作物之一，通常种植在热带国家，在食品工业中具有有益的应用。大量的副产品，如叶子、花序、假茎和根茎作为不同行业的来源。这些副产品中的大多数可能作为商业价值、应用有限的被低估的商品，在某些情况下，它被视为农业废物。这也为利用大量未开发的生物质和解决一些环境问题铺平了道路。大多数可食用香蕉主要是为了水果而种植的，因此，香蕉农场可能会产生数吨未充分利用的副产品和废物。本综述主要讨论香蕉皮、叶、假茎、假茎汁、茎、和花序在各个行业中作为增稠剂、可再生能源、营养保健品、牲畜饲料、天然纤维、着色剂、生物活性化合物和生物肥料的替代来源。香蕉废料是生产有价值产品和保存可再生资源的潜在来源，并为农业提供额外收入。
