From the results on annual waste production, local processing facilities are generating substantial amounts of up to 2000 tons of fruit processing residues per annum from mango, litchi and longan while no significant waste utilization strategies currently exist. A large portion of processing waste, especially from large-scale facilities, is currently unutilized ending up in municipal dumps usually at a cost to the industry. Thus the abundance of available waste stock is considerable when taking into account that Northern Thailand has a large number of fruit processing facilities. Fuel property results indicated a high potential of analyzed residues. The findings of this study are a foundation for recommending technologies to utilize these local biomass resources in small-scale processing facilities and contribute to the knowledge base of fruit processing residues, mainly for litchi and longan, which currently have very limited documentation. Meanwhile, questions remain such as the need for modification of the residues to make them suitable as a combustion or biogas feedstock.
