Background: Citrus fruits are an important source of dietary fiber. However, on the one hand, traditional preparation methods of citrus fiber rely on chemical hydrolysis, resulting in unavoidable environmental contamination and nutrients loss. On the other hand, citrus fiber usually requires modification due to its low soluble dietary fiber content. Therefore, we explored green preparation methods of citrus fiber, and evaluated the impact of high-speed homogenization alone or combined with cellulase hydrolysis, Trichoderma viride or Lactobacillus plantarum fermentation on the physicochemical, structural and functional properties of dietary fiber derived from navel orange peel.
Results: Cellulase-hydrolyzed navel orange peel dietary fiber (NOPDF) had better water solubility and oil holding capacity but lower thermal stability. In contrast, T. viride-fermented NOPDF demonstrated the best thermal stability and glucose adsorption (4.62 ± 0.06 mmol g-1 dried weight), along with the highest soluble dietary fiber yield (2.27 g kg-1 dried weight), the best soluble dietary fiber/total dietary fiber ratio (29.64 ± 0.17%), water holding capacity (12.48 ± 0.44 g g-1 dried weight), swelling capacity (12.10 ± 0.24 g g-1 dried weight) and the darkest color. Lactobacillus plantarum-fermented NOPDF exhibited the best fillibility (tap density, 0.68 ± 0.01 g mL-1 dried weight) and strongest in vitro prebiotic activity and antioxidant properties (total phenolic content, 5.81 ± 0.26 mg gallic acid equivalents 100 g-1 dried weight; DPPH• scavenging capacity, 2.21 ± 0.01 mg Trolox equivalents g-1 dried weight).

SCI (Society of Chemical Industry) is a unique international forum where science meets business on independent, impartial ground. Anyone can join and current Members include consumers, business people, environmentalists, industrialists, farmers, and researchers. The Society offers a chance to share information between sectors as diverse as food and agriculture, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, materials, chemicals, environmental science and safety. As well as organising educational events, SCI awards a number of prestigious honours and scholarships each year, publishes peer-reviewed journals, and provides Members with news from their sectors in the respected magazine, Chemistry & Industry .
Originally established in London in 1881 and in New York in 1894, SCI is a registered charity with Members in over 70 countries.
