At a glance

Mechanism of action

Fermentation of orange peel by microorganisms generates metabolites including polyphenols, flavonoids, and organic acids that may exert anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. The exact molecular mechanisms remain incompletely characterized, but fermented orange peel extracts have demonstrated bioactivity in preclinical models. Clinical applications appear focused on functional food or nutraceutical use rather than a defined pharmaceutical mechanism.
