Abstract Spent coffee ground (SCG) is a primary by-product obtained during soluble processing and could be used for high-value products due to its protein content. The SCG rich source of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, lipids proteins. bioactive peptide after hydrolysis has great potential as an antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-mutagenic agent better understanding prerequisite proper utilization the natural renewable attain sustainable approach. Moreover, by utilizing SCG-derived peptides we can reduce contamination these residues at agronomical scale. In this review, discussed spent protein-based also high-lightened properties valuable in addition other industrially important metabolites. Conclusively, interesting substitute plant with functional food industries, same time would bio-waste burden. Graphical abstract
