The zero temperature non-plateau magnetization is a peculiar property of quantum spin chain and sometimes appear due to different giro-magnetic factor. Here we illustrate the non-plateau magnetization property driven by XY-anisotropy in Ising-XYZ diamond chain. Two particles with spin-1/2 are bonded through the XYZ coupling, which is responsible for the emergence of non-plateau magnetization. These two quantum operator spins are bonded to two nodal Ising spins, and this process is repeated infinitely resulting in a diamond chain structure. This model exhibits a quite unusual non-plateau magnetization at zero temperature, we also discuss the phase diagram at zero temperature. Furthermore, owing to the non-plateau magnetization property, we focus our discussion on magnetocaloric effect of this model, illustrating isentropic curves as well as the Gr\uneisen parameters, showing the regions where the model exhibits an efficient magnetocaloric effect. Due to the existence of two phases very close to each other the strong XY-anisotropy, we obtain a peculiar behavior of magnetocaloric effect, observing a wider interval in the magnetic field, where the magnetocaloric effect is efficient.
