The increasing production of Pomelo oranges and the need to diversify their use to enhance economic value have prompted research into developing processed products from Pomelo's outer peel. This study aims to rank potential processed products derived from the outer peel of Pomelo using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to five experts, who conducted pairwise comparisons of the selected products. The AHP method was applied to rank these products based on their priority weights. The results show that candy ranked first with a priority weight of 0.35, followed by snack (0.25), aromatherapy (0.20), scrubs (0.10), and sauce (0.09). The consistency of expert evaluations was validated through the Consistency Ratio (CR), calculated at 0.059, indicating a high level of consistency. The findings highlight candy as having the highest potential for further development, with consistent results supporting its prioritisation for product development from Pomelo Peel. © 2025 Institute of Physics Publishing.
