With the growing demand for sustainable and health-conscious alternatives, Citrus Peel Edible Candy Wrap has emerged as a promising solution in the food packaging industry.This innovative wrap combines nutritional benefits with practical packaging functions, offering a biodegradable, nutritionally enriched solution for confectionery products.Made from bio-based polymers and citrus peel powder, the wrap utilizes natural preservatives that extend shelf life while providing essential nutrients.Citrus peels are rich in bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, glycosides, coumarins, volatile oils, dietary fiber, and vitamin C, which impart antioxidant and antimicrobial properties to the wrap.By repurposing citrus peel, a byproduct of the fruit processing industry, this edible wrap also contributes to food waste management.Additionally, its complete biodegradability makes it an eco-friendly alternative to conventional plastic materials like polyethylene and polypropylene, which contribute significantly to environmental pollution.The Citrus Peel Edible Candy Wrap demonstrates superior mechanical properties compared to traditional wrappers, offering flexibility, tensile strength, and tear resistance, while remaining fully edible.This solution addresses global challenges such as solid waste and food waste by reducing reliance on single-use plastics and creating a circular economy model.Ultimately, this innovation is a significant step toward sustainable, multifunctional packaging in the food industry.(Wedamulla et al.
