Description
Summary:This thorough analysis investigates the unrealized promise of the environmentally benign and sustainable chemistry of lemon peels. Lemon peel's chemical makeup, which includes limonene, citric acid, flavonoids, cellulose, and lignin, provides a wide range of chemicals with uses in many sectors. Extraction methods are based on the principles of green chemistry. Which ensures environmental and economic safety. There are many separation techniques, such as fractional distillation, that highlight the selectivity needed to isolate desired substances. The study will also address the practical use of lemon peel chemistry through recycling, which includes biological transformation and chemical transformation. In addition to its use in treatment, food, packaging, and other fields. Opportunities for innovation, collective action, recycling economy projects, and legislative assistance help overcome obstacles including waste volume and economic feasibility. Recycling lemon peel components is an excellent sustainable way to obtain environmentally friendly biomaterials. This integration helps promote a more renewable and sustainable way of consuming natural resources. In addition to addressing waste management issues. The chemistry of lemon peel provides evidence that natural resources can be used to create a more sustainable and greener future.
