      abstract     = {This study aimed to enhance solar disinfection (SODIS) by
                      the photo-Fenton process, operated at natural pH, through
                      the re-utilization of fruit wastes. For this purpose, pure
                      organic acids present in fruits and alimentary wastes were
                      tested and compared with synthetic complexing agents. Owing
                      to solar light, complexes between iron and artificial or
                      natural chelators can be regenerated through ligand-to-metal
                      charge transfer (LMCT) during disinfection. The target
                      complexes were photoactive under solar light, and the
                      Fe:Ligand ratios for ex situ prepared iron complexes were
                      assessed, achieving a balance between iron solubilization
                      and competition with bacteria as a target for oxidizing
                      species. In addition, waste extracts containing natural
                      acidic ligands were an excellent raw material for our
                      disinfection enhancement purposes. Indeed, lemon and orange
                      juice or their peel infusions turned out to be more
                      efficient than commercially available organic acids, leading
                      to complete inactivation in less than 1 h by this novel
                      "fruto-Fenton" process, i.e. in the presence of a
                      fruit-derived ligand, Fe(II) and H$_2$O$_2$. Finally, its
                      application in Lake Leman water and in situ complex
                      generation led to effective bacterial inactivation, even in
                      mildly alkaline surface waters. This work proposes
                      interesting SODIS and fruit-mediated photo-Fenton
                      enhancements for bacterial inactivation in resource-poor
                      contexts and/or under the prism of circular economy.},
