The Citrus maxima (Burm.) Merr. pomelo, characterised by its spherical shape and varying green to yellowish-green hues, typically weighs between 1.2 to 2.5 kg. Commonly consumed directly or as juice, the pomelo often results in the discard of its peel, which accounts for approximately 30% of the fruit's weight (Zarina and Tan 2013). Despite constituting a significant proportion of the fruit, the nutritional benefits of the pomelo peel are often underutilised. Pomelo peels, as by-prod-ucts of fruit processing, represent a valuable reservoir of flavonoids known for their anti-inflammatory, and antitumor properties, and their role in preventing cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and other ailments (Van Hung et al. 2020). Rich in water, cellulose, hemicellulose, soluble sugars, essential oils (predominantly D-limonene), and polyphenols (primarily flavonoids), the pomelo peel also contains notable quantities of pectin, vitamin A, and vitamin C [130-170 mg•(100 g
