- Citrus Pulp is the
dried residue of peel, pulp and seeds of oranges, grapefruit and other
citrus fruit. As with most feeds, citrus pulp is dried to a moisture
content of approximately 10%.
- The Citrus Pulp
consumed in Brazil is used mainly to make baits for ant killer, with
excellent results to combat the sauba ant. The citrus pulp is
traditionally a great choice for animal nutrition with excellent
tasteful and digestibility, mainly to ruminants, and for this
characteristics is one of the main components (till 30%) to formulate
the animal food rations (mainly cattle - for milk and slaughter) in
Europe and United States.
- Citrus pulp should be
limited to 50% or less of the total daily intake. It is high in calcium
and low in protein and phosphorus. Additional protein and phosphorus
need to be added to the diet when higher levels are fed.
- Citrus pulp pellets are
used as a filler in beef or milk cattle feed . Its use should not exceed
30% of dry matter for each adult cow. As citrus pulp pellets absorb
humidity it is vital that this feedstuff is kept in dry and ventilated
storage facilities for no more than 60 days in order to avoid
fermentation or mold.
- Citrus by-product
technology was driven by the concurrent need for disposing of processing
waste as well as obtaining all possible value from the
fruit.
- The majority of the
solid waste product from processing plants is the citrus fruit peel and
the membranes from inside the fruit. This material amounts to about 40
to 50% of the entire mass of the incoming fruit, and is the material
from which cattle feed is produced. The use of citrus residue for dried
citrus pulp pellets (CPP) for cattle feed has been utilized since the
1920s, when nutritional studies with livestock were performed with
grapefruit residue at
the University of Florida.
- Citrus (mainly oranges)
is the most produced fruit in the world, with 22,5% of all fruits
produced in Brazil. It is the major orange producer. the production was
about 22,744 million tons, representing 34,4% of the world production,
followed by the United States, with 11,896 million tons (18,0%). Almost
72% of its oranges are crushed on to juice. It is also the world’s
largest producer (47% of total production) and exporter of FCOJ (Frozen
Concentrated Orange Juice), with 83% of total exports.
- Dried citrus
pulp is available from the citrus industry and approximately 600,000 ton
are produced annually in Florida. About 90 percent is pelleted and
approximately 70 percent of total production is marketed outside the
United States. Other countries also produce high levels of citrus pulp
as well.
