Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Citrus, the most extensively cultivated and consumed fruit globally, yields significant byproducts in the processing industry approximately 50% juice and 50% waste.Fruit juice concentrate enhances shelf life and enables reconstitution.Processing generates substantial citrus peel, juice sacs, and seeds.Citrus peel is rich in bioactive compounds, phytochemicals, nutrients, and minerals.Peel waste is utilized for essential oil, pectin, and modified citrus pectin production.Modified citrus pectin offers medicinal benefits, potentially inhibiting cancer and heart disease by inactivating galectin-3.
