Cover Story: According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, about 75 million tons of oranges were produced globally in 2020, making orange one of the most cultivated fruits. Industrial orange processing generates a high amount of waste (up to 60% weight of the fruit); these residues are rich in pectins and other high-value compounds. This study evaluates the integral valorization of orange byproduct flour (peel and pulp (OBF)) in the stabilization of oil-in-water emulsions and proposes artificial neural networks (ANNs) to optimize the emulsions stability. The OBF was compared with pure citrus pectins and combined with soy protein. The optimum emulsion was found to contain 3.14% of OBF and 0.14% of proteins, and its experimental characteristics closely matched those predicted by ANNs. View this paper
