Pomelo peels, often overlooked in food processing, generate significant byproducts, especially in minimal processing setups. Rich in bioactive compounds, particularly in the green peel or flavedo, these peels offer versatile applications. This study focuses on two main aspects. Firstly, the characterisation of the Citrus maxima (Burm.) Merr. pomelo flavedo extract was carried out, with its phenolic composition and activities such as antioxidant, and antifungal properties assessed. Secondly, the impact of applying a pectin film enriched with this extract on pomelo storage at 8 °C was evaluated. The extract has a diverse phenolic composition, including catechin, chlorogenic acid, rutin, ellagic acid, quercitrin, quercetin, apigenin, and gallic acid, with gallic acid being the most concentrated at 54 mg·g–1. While the extract showed free radical-scavenging activity, it was less effective than vitamin C; the extract also demonstrated antifungal effects on 7 mold and 1 yeast strains. The extract-infused pectin coating significantly reduced colour changes, respiration intensity, and weight loss in Citrus maxima (Burm.) Merr. pomelo. Additionally, it preserved ascorbic acid, total soluble solids, and titratable acidity content. Sensory evaluations favoured pomelo preserved with the supplemented coating over both pre-preserved and untreated samples.

Keywords: antifungal ability; biological activity; chemical composition; half maximal effective concentration (EC50); preservation
