Citrus waste includes peels, pulp and membrane residue and seeds, constituting approximately 40–60% of the whole fruit. This amount exceeds ~110–120 million tons annually worldwide. Recent investigations have been focused on developing newer techniques to explore various applications of the chemicals obtained from the citrus wastes. The organic acids obtained from citrus waste can be utilized in developing biodegradable polymers and functional materials for food processing, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The peel microstructures have been investigated to create bio-inspired materials. | Nội dung Text Bio-sorbents industrially important chemicals and novel materials from citrus processing waste as a sustainable and renewable bioresource A review
