The use of persimmon (Diospyros kaki L.f.) as a possible functional food material has not garnered widespread popularity. We conducted the present study and found that a fat-soluble extract obtained from the peel contained a large amount of carotenoids; beta-cryptoxanthin accounted for more than 50% of the total carotenoids identified. The extract also contained 6 polyphenolic aglycons.

Walnut husk extract (WHE) and pomegranate peel extract (PPE) were produced through ultrasound-assisted extraction. Total phenol, flavonoid and tannin contents (TPC, TFC and TTC), antioxidant and antimicrobial activities were determined. The best extracts were used for production of alginate (Alg) and chitosan (CS)-coated nanoemulsions containing WHE (NWHE) or PPE (NPPE).

Article Synopsis
- Citrus peels, often considered waste, contain valuable coumarins with potential anti-fatness benefits that could be harnessed for new uses.
- The study analyzed different Citrus limon varieties to extract these coumarins using ethanol and eco-friendly solvents, discovering high concentrations primarily in the outer peel layer.
- Results showed that certain natural deep eutectic solvents outperformed ethanol in extracting specific coumarins, highlighting the Citrus peel's potential for further valorization through innovative extraction methods.
