ABSTRACT:
This review focuses on the significant fruit crop of citrus and its potential as a valuable source of bioactive compounds and waste management. Citrus fruits are widely grown in tropical and subtropical regions, generating almost 100 million tons annually and are highly valued for their nutritional and health-promoting properties. Despite their popularity, the citrus processing sector generates a substantial amount of fruit waste, including peels, seeds, and pomace. This study aims to explore the potential of citrus waste, such as peels, seeds, and pomace, as sources of bioactive compounds and their utilization in various applications, such as food additives, bioethanol production, and animal feed. The research design involves the extraction and analysis of bioactive compounds from different citrus waste materials, such as peels, seeds, and pomace, using various solvents and techniques. The study findings demonstrate the potential of citrus waste as a valuable source of bioactive compounds, including essential oils, polyphenols, and carotenoids, with antioxidant and health-promoting properties. The implications of this research are significant for waste management in the citrus processing sector and the development of sustainable bio refinery solutions.
