On consumption or processing, approximately 50% of the fruit remains as inedible waste, which includes peels, seeds, pulp, and segment residues. This waste still consists of substantial quantities of bioactive compounds that cause environmental pollution and are harmful to the ecosystem because of their high biological oxygen demand. In recent years, citrus cultivation and the production of processed foods have become a major agricultural industry. In addition to being a substantial source of economy, it is an ideal and sustainable and renewable resource for obtaining bioactive compounds and co-products for food and pharmaceutical industries. In the present article, the various methods of extraction, conventional and modern, as well as separation and isolation of individual bioactive compounds from the extraction mixture and their determination have been reviewed. This article presents both aspects of extraction methods, i.e., on a small laboratory scale and on an industrial mass scale. These methods and techniques have been extensively and critically reviewed with anticipated future perspectives towards the maximum utilization of the citrus waste.

Introduction Citrus is cultivated as one of the largest fruit crops across the globe and has been known to humans for thousands of years due to its health benefits. The center of origin of citrus species has been discovered to be the southeast foothills of the Himalayas, Meghalaya, eastern areas of Assam, India, Northern Myanmar, and the Western Yunnan province, China, on the basis of genomic, phylogenetic, and biogeographic research on citrus fruits [1,2]. Citrus belongs to the Rutaceae family and comprises 140 genera and 1300 species. The origin, geographical spread, and popular varieties of citrus fruits cultivated across the globe are shown in Figures S1 and S2a–d (Supplementary Information), and the main citrus growing regions in the world map along with their annual productions are shown in Figure1[ 3,4]. The cross between the native varieties and the evolution of popular hybrid variants in citrus fruits and the list of main citrus varieties cultivated widely across the globe has been Foods 2019, 8, 523; doi:10.3390/foods8110523 www.mdpi.com/journal/foods Foods 2019, 8, 523 2 of 81 Foods 2019, 8, 523 2 of 79 presented in Figure S3a–b (Supplementary Information) [5].
