Abstract: Citrus fruits contain significant quantities of hesperidin, a bioflavonoid. Numerous health advantages, including antioxidant, antibacterial, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticarcinogenic characteristics have been linked to its use. Citrus fruit is extensively used in the culinary sector, particularly for the creation of juice. Huge quantities of byproducts, including peels, seeds, cell, and membrane remnants, which are also a good source of hesperidin, end up being accumulated as a result. In order to utilise them as natural antioxidants, its extraction from these byproducts has received significant scientific interest. The extraction techniques for quantifying hesperidin in fruits and by-products are provided in this review, along with a discussion of its biological functions. In this review article structure of hesperidein, extraction methodology and biological activities was discussed.
