Citrus peels are considered as an agricultural waste with negative environmental impacts. In the present study, yellow (ripe) and green (unripe)  Citrus reticulata  peels were dried in a hot air impingement dryer and the effect of drying temperatures (40, 50, 60, and 70 °C) on the drying characteristics, volatile compounds, and antioxidant capacity were explored. The results showed that the drying time of samples was reduced by more than 50% when the drying temperature was increased from 40 to 70 °C. A total of 56 peaks and 29 volatile components were identified by headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry. Drying caused an obvious reduction in the concentration of linalool oxide, benzaldehyde, (E)-2-heptenal, and 1-pentanol, and an increment in the concentration of pentanal, decanal, linalool, and (E)-2-hexenol. Principal component analysis showed that samples under different treatments were clearly distinguished. Drying resulted in a significant reduction of 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl and ferric reducing antioxidant power. These findings will contribute to a better understanding of citrus peel drying as well as their volatile profiles and antioxidant capacity changes during drying.
