Abstract

 Citrus fruits are flowering trees belonging to genus shrubs and Rutaceae family. These are beautiful and fragrant plants, spreaded to all continents of the India. Citrus fruits are rich source of vitamins C (ascorbic acid), dietary fiber and bioactive compounds, which plays important role in protection of human health. Livestock foods are nutritional foods, but it lacks in dietary fiber and bioactive compounds. Due to the existence of functional ingredients in the citrus fruits and its byproducts, these fruits can be used for designing livestock food. Hence, enrichment of milk and meat products with citrus fiber is a best alternative to increase functional quality of the product and cater to the consumer demand.

Keywords: Citrus Fruit; Milk Products; Meat Products; Functional Food.
