Citrus fruits, like lime, belong to the most consumed group of
fruits worldwide, generating a large amount of industrial
waste, such as peels, pomace and seeds. Most of this waste is
deposited in landfills leading to a negative environmental
impact.
Several scientific works demonstrate that this biowaste is rich
in valuable molecules, such as organic acids (e.g. citric acid)
with scientifically proven bioactive properties
