“…Nonetheless, the Solid-Liquid Extraction with acetone would require further separation of the polar and non-polar compounds due to the polarity of the solvent. For steam distillation, yields of 0.7% [11] and 0.84% [9] were obtained, which are slightly lower than those obtained by Hilali et al with hydrodistillation and solar hydrodistillation ~1% [12]. Differences observed in yields for steam distillation could be attributed to the Pectins distribution of the sample in the system and how steam interacts with the residue.…”

“…The material's drying process is usually carried out at temperatures around 40-60°C and drying times up to 2 days. However, the highest drying temperature reported is 95°C [9], which reduces the drying time but could cause the degradation of bioactive compounds. Also, it is desired to achieve low humidity (approximately 10%) as a way to extend the storage time of the raw material and to achieve a small particle size (< 1 mm) that generates a higher contact surface and a better performance during extraction [9].…”

This chapter describes the pectin production process from citrus residues. It discusses the importance of essential oils removal before processing through steam distillation, hydrodistillation, or solvent extraction. Also, it presents different extraction methods (acid hydrolysis, microwave-assisted acid hydrolysis, and hydrodistillation) that have been employed and different solvents that can be used for its purification. Since all these processing parameters can affect the final pectin yield and quality, a discussion is made on which processing options and conditions could be used based on recently reported data. The best operational conditions based on the percentages of pectin recovery and their relationship with quality parameters, such as the galacturonic acid content and degree of esterification are presented. Finally, a discussion is made regarding the opportunities for its integration under the biorefinery concept that could help to enhance several economic and environmental aspects of the process.

“…A nobler destination for the citrus waste, generated in large amounts during the industrial processing, would be to produce hesperidin, narirutin, and sugars by a green technology like the one addressed in this work. The low generation of residues after extraction by applying the concept of process intensification is an advantage of this industrial process 4,7,45 …”

“…Currently, compost and landfilling are the main methods of disposing of those by‐products. The price for the destination ranges, respectively, from US$ 25 to 35/m 3 and US$ 40.92 to 73.03/tonUS$ 4 . Orange by‐products can be up to 50–60% of the processed fruit, of which 60–65% is composed of orange peels (OP) (30–35% of internal tissue and the rest are seeds) 5,6 .…”

An economic evaluation was conducted of flavanone and sugar production from orange peel (OP) using a sequential hydrothermal process. The process was conducted at laboratory (2 × 5 L), pilot (3 × 10 L), and industrial (3 × 500 L) scales. The results demonstrate that the scale‐up process decreased the cost of manufacturing (COM) with a significant increase in flavanone and sugar production. The lowest COM was of US$ 25.72/kg flavanones and US$ 1.43/kg sugars, both on an industrial scale. The predominant costs at the industrial scale (>90%) were the cost of utilities and the cost of raw materials. A low capital payback time was obtained, which decreased as return on investment and gross margin increased. A strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats matrix demonstrates the relevant business topics related to the scale‐up of OP processing. Thus, the current scale‐up project can be considered as a promising approach to the production of flavanones and sugar from OP on an industrial scale. © 2020 Society of Industrial Chemistry and John Wiley & Sons Ltd

“…Orange peel residues have been widely investigated due to their potential application to obtain value-added products (D-limonene, pectin) [ 19 ], biogas, [ 20 ] biofuel, [ 21 ] bio-absorbents [ 22 ], and active carbon [ 23 ]. Furthermore, orange peel wastes have been employed to obtain metal oxides nanoparticles, through sacrificial template approaches [ 24 ], and for the preparation of porous bio-sorbents [ 22 ].…”

Mechanochemical Preparation of Magnetically Separable Fe and Cu-Based Bimetallic Nanocatalysts for Vanillin Production

A highly sustainable method for the preparation of supported iron oxide and copper nanoparticles (NPs) on a biomass-derived carbon by solvent-free mechanochemical process is reported. In-situ mechanochemically obtained extracts from orange peel could behave as a green reducing agent, allowing the formation of Cu metal nanoparticles as well as generating a magnetic phase (magnetite) in the systems via partial Fe3+ reduction. At the same time, orange peel residues also served as template and carbon source, adding oxygen functionalities, which were found to benefit the catalytic performance of mechanochemically synthesized nanomaterials. The series of magnetic Cu-Fe@OP were tested in the oxidation of trans-ferulic acid towards vanillin, remarkably revealing a maximum vanillin yield of 82% for the sample treated at 200 °C.
