Pectin derived from the fruit of Clausena lansium (Lour.) Skeels, commonly known as Wampee, possesses diverse bioactivities and holds significant potential for applications in food products. To broaden Wampee's application range, deep eutectic solvent (DES) was optimized for pectin extraction using response surface methodology. The fundamental and functional properties of DES-extracted pectin (D-CP) were compared to water-extracted pectin (W-CP). Extracted under the optimal extraction conditions (oxalic acid:choline chloride ratio was 1:1, reagent content was 10.2% (w/v), extraction time was 154 min, temperature was 82.5°C, and liquid: solid was 10.0 mL/g), D-CP was identified as Rhamnogalacturonan-dominated pectin. D-CP's molecular weight (129 kDa) and degree of esterification (61.05%) were lower than those of W-CP. However, D-CP exhibited a superior yield (18.09%) and enhanced functional properties, including higher purity, improved emulsifying stability and activity, better foaming capacity, and stronger foam stability. Additionally, D-CP demonstrated excellent solubility alongside notable antioxidant activities. Overall, these advanced properties highlight D-CP's promising potential for applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries, with DES proving to be an effective solvent for efficient extraction of bioactive pectin from Wampee.

Background: Fruit acidity, a crucial determinant of flavor and quality, is primarily governed by the content and composition of organic acids, with citric acid playing a dominant role. To unravel the molecular basis of citric acid accumulation, we analyzed four wampee (Clausena lansium) cultivars-sweet-type 'Huami' and 'Baitang' and sweet-sour-type 'Huami 2' and 'Wuhe'-by integrating transcriptomic data with organic acid profiling. Candidate genes were systematically screened based on their expression patterns and correlations with acid content.

Acute lung injury is a severe disease with a high mortality rate, which can result in increased oxidative stress and further mitochondrial damage and cell apoptosis. -Clausenamide is an amide from the fruit wampee. This study combined network pharmacology, molecular docking, and in vitro study to elucidate the effect of combating acute lung injury and the underlying mechanism of -Clausenamide.

Background: Natural products have been and continue to be a significant resource for developing environmentally friendly pesticides with distinctive structures and mechanisms. Lansiumamide B (LB), a cinnamamide compound extracted from Clausena lansium seeds, has served as the lead compound for the design and synthesis of a series of cinnamamide derivatives. The fungicidal activity of these derivatives has been evaluated.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The peels of wampee (Clausena lansium (Lour.) Skeels) fruits have been ethnomedicinally used to cure malarial fever, coughs, bronchitis, viral hepatitis, and gastrointestinal disorders, suggesting potential immunoprotective and anti-inflammatory properties.
Aim Of The Study: This study aimed to compare the phenolic profiles in the peels of three wampee fruit cultivars and initially reveal the comprehensive immune-modulatory mechanisms of the phenolic fraction.
