  • 摘要:Abstract Phenolic compounds, vitamin C, and the antioxidant activity of wasted parts of citrus (orange, lemon, and grapefruit) fruits were investigated. Ethanolic extracts from whole fruit, peel, and pulp containing seeds of each type of citruses were prepared. Within each type of citrus, results revealed that peels contained a higher amount of phenolic compound, flavonoids, vitamin C, and antioxidant activity than those of their inner wasted parts (pulp and seeds). Peels of grapefruit had the highest total phenolic content followed by lemon and orange, which was found to be 77.3, 49.8, and 35.6 mg of gallic acid equivalent/g of peels, respectively. In contrast, orange peels contain the highest amount of flavonoids (83.3 mg of catechin equivalent/g) and vitamin C (110.4 mg/100 g) compared to the peels of the other citrus fruit used in this study. In general, the high content of antioxidant capacity and activity of citrus waste, particularly the peels, indicated that they may impart health and nutritional benefit when involving in the food industry as a natural antioxidant.
