Citrus IntegroPectin denotes a family of flavonoid-pectin bioconjugates with large therapeutic potential sourced via the green extraction CytroCav process consisting of cavitation of industrial citrus processing waste conducted in water only, followed by dialysis and lyophilization or spray-drying. We investigate the structure of lemon, orange, and red (blood) orange IntegroPectin using X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and nanoparticle tracking analysis. The analysis unveils several structural nuances unique to this new class of bioconjugates of relevance to forthcoming studies on the use of citrus IntegroPectin for therapy and prevention of numerous diseases.
