Orange peels may significantly benefit cardiovascular health, according to new research from the University of Florida. The study revealed that extracts from orange peels, which are typically discarded as waste, can inhibit the production of harmful chemicals linked to heart disease. These findings highlight the potential of repurposing orange peels into health-promoting ingredients and developing functional foods to improve heart health.
“If you imagine your salad dressing, anything in the water or vinegar part is the polar fraction; anything in the oil away from water is the non-polar fraction,” Wang said. “The solvents we used were not exactly like water and oil, but they possess similar polarity.”Results from the study showed that the orange peel non-polar fraction extract effectively inhibited the production of harmful chemicals.
