Abstrakt: Scientists have been working on developing a green bio-TENG for portable remote devices, including wearables in the biomedical sector. The process involves obtaining pectin, a green material with anti-microbial properties, as a Triboelectric material. This study focuses on the extraction of essential oil (EO) and pectin from Assam lemon peel simultaneously. A single-step strategy was optimized using a central composite design-based response surface approach. The extracted pectin yielded 4.19 ± 0.31 % and 11.53 ± 0.11 %, respectively. GC-MS analysis revealed 52 volatile components in the Assam lemon EOs, with limonin being 94.47 % and β-Bisabolene being 1.26 %. Only khusilal was found in the EOs, a rare discovery in the scientific domain. The extracted pectin showed good purity and antimicrobial properties. The in vitro activities of the citrus EO against microbial cultures revealed its activity in controlling and eradicating bacterial and fungal growth. Hydro distillation followed by enzyme treatment is a promising approach that combines two separate extraction procedures. The produced biopolymer showed the generation of electrical signals under minimal pressure and stretching and prevented microbial degeneration when applied to a nanogenerator.
