Produk jeruk nipis yang kaya akan berbagai senyawa fenolik dan serat makanan, membuat produk jeruk diminati oleh semua kalangan. Dampaknya adalah terdapat sejumlah besar kulit jeruk nipis yang umumnya dibuang sebagai limbah di lingkungan. Limbah lingkungan tersebut ternyata berpotensi sebagai sumber nutraceutical. Metode penelitian true-eksperimen design, Sampel kulit jeruk nipis ekstrak maserasi dengan metanol 3000 terendam selama 3 x 24 jam kemudian dievaporasi sampai terbentuk ekstrak kental. Sampel ekstrak rendaman dari simplisia kulit jeruk nipis dirajang kecil-kecil dilarutkan dalam Ethanol 96% sebanyak 2000 ml terendam sempurna selama 3 x 24 jam dipisahkan antara filtrat dan residu selanjutnya di uapkan. Sampel ekstrak perasan dari jeruk nipis dibelah menjadi dua kemudian diperas dan diambil air perasan selanjutnya diuapkan. Hasil pemeriksaan profil fitokimia dari kulit jeruk nipis, bentuk ekstrak maserasi mengandung 6 senyawa metabolik yaitu alkaloid, flavonoid, saponin, steroid, tanin dan fenol, untuk ekstrak rendaman mengandung 4 senyawa metabolik yaitu alkaloid, flavonoid, steroid, fenol dan bentuk ekstrak perasan mengandung 3 senyawa metabolik yaitu alkaloid, steroid, dan fenol. Hasil Kromatografi lapis tipis menggunakan eluen n-heksan : etil asetat dengan perbandingan 3:2 pada lampu UV 366 nm, didapatkan bahwa ekstrak perasan memiliki empat bercak noda, ekstrak rendaman memiliki empat bercak noda, dan ekstrak maserasi memiliki lima bercak noda. Kesimpulannya ekstrak maserasi kulit jeruk nipis lebih banyak kandungan senyawa metabolik dan menghasilkan lebih banyak senyawa terlarut karena pelarut organik masuk ke jaringan kulit. Pemanfaatan limbah lingkungan kulit jeruk nipis diharapkan dapat sebagai terapi adjuvant yang murah, efesien dan ramah lingkungan.
