Article Abstract
Aim of the Study. Citrus species is used in traditional medicine as medicinal herb in several Asian countries including Korea. Flavonioids became known as various properties, such as anti-oxidants, anti-inflammation and anti-cancer, and so forth. The present study, the anti-cancer effect of flavonioids isolated from Citrus aurantium L. in human gastric cancer AGS cells has been investigated. Materials and Methods. The anti-proliferative activity was assayed using MTT assay. Cell cycle analysis was done using flow cytometry and apoptosis detection was done using by hoechst fluorescent staining and Annexin V-propidium iodide double staining. Western blot was used to detect the expression of protein related with cell cycle and apoptosis. Results. Flavonoids isolated from Citrus aurantium L. have the effect of anti proliferation on AGS cells with IC50 value of 99 μg/mL. Flavonoids inhibited cell cycle progression in the G2/M phase and decrease expression level of cyclin B1, cdc 2, cdc 25c. Flavonoids induced apoptosis through activate caspase and inactivate PARP. Conclusions. Flavonoids isolated from Citrus aurantium L. induced G2/M phase arrest through the modulation of cell cycle related proteins and apoptosis through activation caspase. These finding suggest flavonoids isolated from Citrus aurantium L. were useful agent for the chemoprevention of gastric cancer.

Coextraction of Citrullus lanatus seeds and Citrus aurantium peels (1:1, w/w), two food processing wastes, was performed using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO) (345 bar|57 °C|178 min) and pet ether solvents. The major objective of the study was to valorize two fruit processing wastes to obtain a bioactive coextract using a green scCO extraction process and further incorporate it into wax-based composite oleofoams. The scCO coextraction resulted in better extraction of bioactive compounds such as d-limonene and polyunsaturated fatty acids due to the absence of light and lower temperature of extraction, compared to pet ether.

Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB), caused by "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" (CLas), is a destructive disease threatening global citrus industry. Although citrus cultivars differ in HLB sensitivity, how infection alters endophytic bacterial communities in cultivars with contrasting susceptibility remains unclear. Here, we compared endophytic microbiome shifts in leaf and root tissue of HLB-susceptible Shatangju mandarin (C.

Lemon (Citrus limon), an important citrus fruit, suffers from slow postharvest ripening and rapid quality deterioration, including moisture loss and membrane lipid peroxidation. This study investigated the effects of ethylene (ETH) and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) co-treatment on ripening and quality maintenance of green-mature lemons. ETH + MeJA accelerated peel degreening, improved marketability, and simultaneously suppressed the ETH-induced high respiration rate and weight loss, preserving soluble solids, titratable acidity, and ascorbic acid.
