Household fruit peels i.e. papaya peels and cultivated banana peels were pyrolysed to convert into valued products and to lower environmental impact from these materials. The pyrolyses were conducted using 1 L metal reactor at 400, 500 and 600°C. It was found that the papaya peels gave higher amounts of bio-oil than the cultivated banana peels at every temperature. Nevertheless, the obtained bio-oils from the banana peels had a better physical appearance, suitable for practical used. The cultivated banana bio-oil had a pH value of 4 and a heating value of 31.46 MJ/kg and, which is lower than that of the standard petroleum oil but higher than those of the other biomass previously studied. Therefore, for practical use the obtained bio-oil needs to be improved through some processes e.g. deoxygenation.
