In terms of fruit anatomy, the zest is obtained from the flavedo which is also called zest. [1] The flavedo and white pith ( albedo ) of a citrus fruit together makes up its peel . [ 2 ] The amounts of both flavedo and pith are variable among citrus fruits, and may be adjusted by the manner in which they are prepared.
According to a Japanese study of 1996, the albedo extract of the Lumia, was shown to possess the highest inhibitory activity against cyclooxygenase (IC50 = 24 μg/mL), among other citrus studied. Flavedo extract of ripe Lumia inhibited cyclooxygenase to the same degree as the albedo, more than the pulp extract. [7]
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).
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.

The term pith is also used to refer to the pale, spongy inner layer of the rind, more properly called mesocarp or albedo, of citrus fruits (such as oranges) and other hesperidia. The word comes from the Old English word piþa, meaning substance, akin to Middle Dutch pitte (modern Dutch pit), meaning the pit of a fruit. [2]
A pure citron of any kind has a large portion of albedo, which is important for the production of succade Location of mesocarp or albedo in a sweet orange. While the word Succade was widely used in German, [11] today it is usually called Zitronat. The French call it fruit glacé or fruit confit, and is also known as candied fruit or ...
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.
