Research on Citrus

 

Citrus fruits belong to the Rutaceae family and come in different forms, typically known as oranges, lemons, grapefruits, citrons, mandarins and limes. They have been extensively studied, and have been recognized as high-consumption fruits, in terms of nutrients, energy and health supplements.

 

Citrus fruits have been used as traditional medicinal herbs to cure diseases in a number of Asian countries. In addition, many studies have concentrated on identifying secondary metabolites in citrus fruits (such as flavonoids, limonoids, alkaloids and essential oils) and the effects of citrus on living tissue. Many of these studies were also performed to develop new chemotherapeutic or complementary medicines.
