Abstract Tropical fruits are popular worldwide due to their appealing flavors and diverse health benefits. However, a significant amount of waste is caused by inferior that partly eliminated from the fresh fruit market by‐products produced during transportation, storage, processing. With increasing focus on environmental sustainability resource conservation, recycling resources tropical has emerged as hot topic interest. Fruit‐derived starch an emerging approach adding value for some fruits. This review article briefly overviews extraction methods, chemical composition, structural characteristics, physical properties, physiological benefits, modification techniques, potential applications new fruit‐derived starch. Compared with traditional starch, exhibits unique processing attributes, making it suitable supplement or replacement industrial in food industry. Moreover, retains rich nutrients functional components present extent, thereby offering benefits greater consumer acceptance. Although current research derived primarily at laboratory stage, there limited exploration its application, evolving lifestyle trends heightened awareness expected foster further development utilization, paving way large‐scale commercialization driving future growth.
