Abstract

Orange peel is a major agro-industrial by-product generated in large quantities by the juice and food processing industries. Rich in cellulose, pectin, hemicellulose, and bioactive compounds, this biomass has attracted growing research interest as a sustainable raw material for biodegradable fibers and functional materials. This review critically examines existing literature on the composition of orange peel, fiber extraction techniques, material properties, and reported applications in textiles, nonwovens, wipes, packaging, and bio composites. The challenges, environmental benefits, and future research directions for orange peel valorization within a circular economy framework are also discussed.
