Synopsis: 
The beverage industry produces a considerable quantity of by-products which is rich in soluble sugars, cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin and essential oils. These are generally discarded but may be of commercial value. This research was undertaken to evaluate the potential application of by-products obtained from a local sorrel and citrus juice processing plant facility.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Sorrel (Hibiscus sabdariffa) and citrus (Citrus sinensis) is widely utilized in the local beverage industry. By-products from this industry are mainly utilized as fodder and fertilizer but may be of commercial value. Phytochemical analyses were therefore performed on extracts from by-products of this industry. Extracts were evaluated for their antioxidant activity, total phenolics, fatty acid, crude fiber, pectin, ash and zinc content.
