Abstract
The primary objective of this study is to identify and evaluate effective strategies for deriving bioactive compounds from citrus fruit peels, thereby leveraging fruit waste. The scope encompasses the recognition, analysis, refinement, by distillation, separation and finally Extraction of powder. While citrus fruits are celebrated for their vibrant flavours and exceptional nutritional benefits, it is often the largely overlooked peels that contain a wealth of bioactive compounds with considerable promise for enhancing human health. This study aims to thoroughly investigate and characterize the diverse bioactive constituents in citrus peels, providing a comprehensive understanding of their functional properties and potential therapeutic benefits.
