description Peppers are grown all around the world, usually for fresh consumption, as well as for the industrial production of different products. Pepper (<i>Capsicum annuum</i> L.) seeds are mostly considered a by-product. Recent investigations have shown that pepper seeds have the potential to be a valuable source of edible oil and fiber-rich flour and protein after processing. Pepper seed oil is a high-quality edible oil according to quality analysis (nutritional, chemical, sensory and antioxidant characteristics) and is suitable as an ingredient for use in the food and nonfood industries (pharmaceutical, chemical, cosmetic industries). The literature review presented in this paper revealed the high quality of two pepper seed by-products (pepper seed oil and pepper seed flour (<i>Capsicum annuum</i> L.)), which could guide the food industry toward new product development based on the circular bioeconomy.
