The zest from any other citrus fruit would work fine. However, the recipe will taste like that citrus instead of lime. I suppose a bit of lime juice could work, but I wouldn't suggest it for a particularly delicate recipe, especially if you're baking. Something sturdy like a soup or stir fry should be fine, though, if you substitute juice for zest.
What can you substitute for lime zest ? Thanks for your help/
This really depends on what you're cooking. I wouldn't suggest substituting juice for zest if you are baking, as baking tends to have very delicate chemistry. However, if you're cooking something like a soup, stir-fry, making a marinade, etc., then substituting juice should be just fine. You may not be able to substitute in the juice at a 1:1 ratio, though; you may need more or less juice than the measurement the recipe gives for zest. Just add it slowly and guesstimate.

Orange zest refers to the grated peel of an orange, whereas the juice of the orange is taken from the liquid in the orange's inner flesh. Replacing zest with juice in a recipe may water the recipe down and cause undesirable changes in flavor and consistency. A better substitution may be the zest of another citrus, or a small amount of orange extract.

What is lime jest?
I think you may mean lime zest. In cooking, the "zest" of a citrus fruit is the outer, colourful portion of the fruit's skin. Some citrus fruits which can be "zested" include oranges, lemons, and yes - limes. The zest contains flavours, scents and oils which can be used in cooking & to flavour recipes, such as desserts. Zest can be obtained and used in cooking by gently grating the outer peel of the fruit with a very fine grater and collecting the scrapings into a small bowl - make sure you wash the fruit well first before zesting it.More information can be found here:http://www.ochef.com/176.htmHope this helps.
