Abstract

Globally, among all processed fruits citrus is one of them which produces different by-products. These by-products are good sources of pectin, essential oil, hemicellulose, cellulose, and soluble sugar. Processing of these products shows good sources of bioactive compounds and dietary fiber. Bioactive compounds of citrus waste can be used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. However, the final disposal of waste may cause environmental issues. The emerging need to reduce the environmental impact of citrus and its management has been increased. Non-thermal extraction techniques were use for the extraction of valuable compounds from the citrus waste such as essential oils, polyphenols, carotenoids etc then utilize in the functional food products. In this review, discuss the citrus waste, composition, bioactive active compounds, extraction techniques and application in different food sectors.
