Biotransformation of Citrus Waste-I: Production of Biofuel and Valuable Compounds by Fermentation

Citrus is the largest grown fruit crop on globe with an annual production of ~110–124 million tons. Approximately, 45–55% whole post-processing generally discarded as waste by food processing industries. The a huge problem to environment in terms land and water pollution along displeasure from aesthetic viewpoint spread diseases owing its content fermentable sugars. can be utilized raw material feedstock for producing number valuable chemicals products, such bioethanol, biogas, bio-oil, organic acids, enzymes, so on. these biomass gives inexpensive alternative harsh used during industrial synthesis processes well possibility controlling environment. derived further industrially important chemicals, solvents building blocks newer chemicals. Furthermore, pectin, prebiotics, etc., citrus wastes have edge over their synthetic counterparts practical applications pharmaceutical
