The doctoral dissertation concerns the development and use of modern analytical techniques to determine selected chemical compounds in samples of Kaffir lime juice, pulp and by-products. Particular emphasis was placed on the determination of compounds from the terpene group, which are the main chemical fraction of citrus fruits. In addition, there was also a focus on determining compounds that have numerous health-promoting and bioactive properties. These were primarily: polyphenols, anthocyanins, flavonoids, flavanols, tannins, carotenoids and xanthophylls, chlorophyll A and B, vitamin C, and micro- and macroelements. The following tests were used to assess the antioxidant properties: CUPRAC, DPPH, ABTS and FRAP. The work also examined by-products that can be obtained from citrus fruits, such as pectins and essential oils. The obtained results were compared with those obtained for other fruits to verify the assumptions that Kaffir lime is a good source of compounds with good health-promoting and functional properties. The last goal was to assess the possibility of using Kaffir lime waste as raw materials in various industries. The doctoral dissertation is based on ten of the author’s own scientific articles published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and one book chapter.
