SUMMARY –Pilot-scale extractions of orange peel color concentrates from whole peel, peel frits and flavedo were reported. Yields of color up to 402, 545 and 669 mg/kg of starting material were obtained from frits, whole peel and flavedo, respectively. Additional color was obtained by acetone treatment of emulsion and this process increased yields by 1% from whole peel, 33% from flavedo and 50% from frits. All three of these waste materials appear to provide good sources of natural orange color. From the standpoint of yield, flavedo was best. Whole peel, although affording the lowest yield of color, offers the advantage of being considerably easier to handle due to lack of emulsion.
