The majority 65–80% of the durian (Durio zibethinus) fruit is the shell and seed that are inedible and cause major issues in waste management. This paper, therefore, outlines the current plausible methods for treating durian biomass based on the biomass processing technologies of (1) thermochemical treatment for energy production, (2) fiber extraction through physicochemical pretreatment, (3) microbiological conversion techniques and (4) green solvent extraction of polysaccharides and phytochemicals, focusing on notable problems and suggestions toward the recalcitrant structures and high volatile matter contents of durian wastes. Within this scope, the possible value-added products with different functional properties each method are considered with high emphasis on the aspect of scaling up. From this, suitable recommendations have been made to combine the different technology or biomass sources for the most economical processing.
