In terms of fruit anatomy, the zest is obtained from the flavedo which is also called zest. [2] The flavedo and white pith ( albedo ) of a citrus fruit together makes up its peel . [ 3 ] The amounts of both flavedo and pith are variable among citrus fruits, and may be adjusted by the manner in which they are prepared.
A fruit with a thick peel, such as a citrus fruit, is called a hesperidium. In hesperidia, the inner layer (also called albedo or, among non-botanists, pith) [1] is peeled off together with the outer layer (called flavedo), and together they are called the peel. [2] The flavedo and albedo, respectively, are the exocarp and the mesocarp.
Documented Nahuatl words in the Spanish language (mostly as spoken in Mexico and Mesoamerica), also called Nahuatlismos include an extensive list of words that represent (i) animals, (ii) plants, fruit and vegetables, (iii) foods and beverages, and (iv) domestic appliances. Many of these words end with the absolutive suffix "-tl" in Nahuatl.
The citron fruit is usually ovate or oblong, narrowing towards the stylar end. However, the citron's fruit shape is highly variable, due to the large quantity of albedo, which forms independently according to the fruits' position on the tree, twig orientation, and many other factors. The rind is leathery, furrowed, and adherent.
Albedo (/ æ l ˈ b iː d oʊ / al-BEE-doh; from Latin albedo ' whiteness ') is the fraction of sunlight that is diffusely reflected by a body. It is measured on a scale from 0 (corresponding to a black body that absorbs all incident radiation) to 1 (corresponding to a body that reflects all incident radiation).
Unlike most other berries, the rind of cultivated hesperidia is generally not eaten with the fruit because it is tough and bitter. A common exception is the kumquat , which is consumed entirely. The outermost, pigmented layer of rind contains essential oils and is known as the flavedo .

"Mesocarp" may also refer to any fruit that is fleshy throughout. In a hesperidium, the mesocarp is the inner part of the peel and is commonly removed before eating, as is found in citrus fruit. [8] It is also referred to as albedo or pith. In citron fruit, where the mesocarp is the most prominent part, it is used to produce succade.
