Brazil is a global leader in the orange industry, producing approximately one-fourth of the world's oranges and generating over 50% of the associated waste. These by-products are rich in bioactive compounds; however, their improper disposal poses environmental risks. This study employs an eco-friendly approach-microwave-assisted extraction-to recover valuable compounds from orange juice production waste.

Nevertheless, concepts such as phenotype expression are also pivotal to understand how chemical diversity varies in a living organism. Sesquiterpene pyridine alkaloids (SPAs) and quinonemethide triterpenes (QMTs) accumulate in root bark of Celastraceae plants.
