Abstract Eco-enzyme is a natural substance that is typically extracted from waste materials and citrus fruit peels, among other sources. It is a sophisticated mixture made from fermenting fresh kitchen trash, including fruit and vegetable peels. This kind of vinegar is created by fermenting food scraps and sugar to produce alcohol. Eco-enzyme is a fermented solution mostly composed of water, fruit peels, and sugar in a 1:3:10 ratio. Because of the phenolic profile and antioxidant qualities of citrus fruit extracts and flavonoids, this review focuses specifically on the citrus eco-enzyme. These compounds may have intriguing biological activities. A thorough discussion of the various inventive methods employed to create eco-enzymes from various raw materials has been held. These methods have several uses, are inexpensive, and are environmentally benign. The synthesis of eco-enzyme reduces the accumulation of organic waste and offers an alternative to synthetic chemicals that are detrimental to the environment and human health. Nonetheless, the main uses have been covered in this review, including cleaning floors, dishes, gardening, and other creative ways to recycle and reuse natural waste that can help cut down on fruit waste.
