[General] Tangerine peels can be used as fridge deodorants....

[Silverobama]

During the winter season, people use tangerine peels to smoke meat here. (Don't ask me the reasons. I think it's because it makes the meat smell better.) but we also put tangerine peels or pomelo peels in the fridge as deodorants to get rid of the bad smell. I wrote a sentence "Tangerine peels can be used as fridge deodorants to get rid of the bad odors in it."

Is my italic sentence natural?

It wasn't bad at all. The changes I made there (and elsewhere) make it a bit more natural.

"Tangerine peels can be used as fridge deodorants to get rid of the bad odors in it."

What does "it" refer to?

 

[Rover_KE]

In my experience, in British English, the uncountable 'peel' is used instead of 'peels' for fruit.

We also talk about vegetable peelings.

We can use "peel" countably or non-countably in American English. We don't use "peelings".

What does "it" refer to?

The fridge.

I can see why you used it but the noun it refers back to is, unfortunately, "fridge deodorant". Using "it" makes it sound as if the bad odours were in the deodorant. There's really no need for the end of the sentence at all.

Tangerine peel can be used as a fridge deodoriser.

I've used "deodoriser" because most people associate "deodorant" with the product people use on their armpits.

Also note that, in your original, "Don't ask me why" is more natural than "Don't ask me the reason(s)".
