Citrus aurantium ‘Crispifolia’ Essential Oil: A Promise for Nutraceutical Applications

Food waste is one of the main topics various scientific studies last decade. In this regard, work analyzed an essential oil (EO) extracted from flavedo Citrus aurantium ‘Crispifolia’ fruit. The analysis, performed by GC-MS, showed a chemically variegated chromatogram characterized presence limonene (33.35%), but also oxygenated monoterpenes such as β-linalool (7.69%), α-terpineol (7.06%), and geranyl acetate (10.12%). EO external part C. peel had several properties, including excellent antimicrobial good antibiofilm activities. It antioxidant activity in vitro decreased amount cellular ROS, thus stimulating catalytic crucial enzymes involved mitigating oxidative stress.
