This paper aimed to present in a summarized form, using the descriptive approach, some recent opportunities for the valorization of two specific representatives of the numerous and heterogeneous in type and composition of fruit and vegetable wastes, namely quince waste and cabbage waste. Research on quince waste is mainly related to determining its composition, searching for valuable components in it, applying different extraction methods, characterizing waste from quince processing, identification and analysis of various compounds. Options for the valorization of cabbage waste are related, for example, to the development of adsorbents, polymer absorption gels, obtaining biochar, biogas production, exploring the possibilities of co-pyrolysis, detection and characterization of biologically active compounds, as well as use in animal nutrition. The development and application of new methods in order to achieve optimally effective valorization of fruit and vegetable waste, part of which are quince waste and cabbage waste, is among the main priority directions for future research.
