Nutritional, techno‐functional, and sensorial properties of soup sticks enriched with freeze‐dried kinnow peel powder (FDKPP) were investigated. The increase in substitution level of FDKPP in wheat flour from 0 to 9% led to a significant increase in ash content, visco‐elasticity, breaking strength, yellowness, and baking and storage stability and decline in the moisture, crude protein, crude fat, pasting parameters, physical parameters, L* (lightness), and a* (redness) values. Furthermore, FDKPP enriched soup sticks showed digestion time higher than control soup sticks and analysis of appearance and structure showed a decrease in pore size. Analysis of baking and storage stability revealed the enrichment of FDKPP with polyphenols. The sensory evaluation revealed that increasing the replacement level had a positive effect on the intensity of aroma and color, but had a negative effect on taste. Novelty impact statement: The kinnow peels, which are typically discarded as waste, could be used to enrich wheat‐based soup sticks. The study revealed that incorporating freeze‐dried kinnow peels could develop improved soup sticks with promising effects on nutritional, technological, and sensory aspects. The efficient use of this citrus waste as a novel bioactive food ingredient can have a promising effect in addressing the concerns such as industrial waste management and food security.

The physicochemical, antioxidant, and polyphenolic attributes of microencapsulated freeze‐dried kinnow peel extract powder using maltodextrin as wall material were investigated. The total phenolic, flavonoid, and antioxidant content of fresh peel extract were 24.51 mg GAE/g, 9.12 mg Quercetin/g, and 81.53% scavenging activity, respectively. The maltodextrin prepared from broken rice starch competes well with those commercial types. The microencapsulated kinnow peel powders across feed solutions 10%, 15%, and 20% total soluble solids (TSS) significantly differed (p <.05)by yield, water absorption, water solubility, swelling capacity, bulk density, antioxidant activity, moisture, water activity, hygroscopicity, water solubility index, swelling capacity, and color. The low cohesiveness and good flowability were respectively demonstrated by Carr index (1.18) and Hausner ratio (15.21) values. The intestinal fluid released more polyphenolic components over the gastric medium. Overall, the maltodextrin as a wall material would effectuate a beneficial microencapsulation process. Practical application: Maltodextrin is among the polysaccharides used as wall materials with desirable characteristics. Despite the previous studies that have evidenced the role of maltodextrin, relevant information about those specifically obtained from broken rice starch for use in the microencapsulation of citrus peel extract is scant. In this work, we demonstrated the maltodextrin specifically obtained from broken rice starch to be a promising wall material for the microencapsulated citrus peel extract powder.
