چکیده
Fruit peels have been a valuable source for maintaining human health. The use of fruit peel extracts for antimicrobial properties can be of great significance in therapeutic treatments. Fruits by-products such as seeds, peels, stems, barks and leaves usually been discarded and currently the cause of a serious disposal problem in food and agricultural industries (Ghasemi et al., 2009). Therefore, extensive researches on utilizing these wastes are being carried out worldwide.
