The chemical composition of the Hydrolate of Citrus aurantium L. (Rutaceae) flowers (neroli) grown in Iran, and two commercial hydrolates were analyzed by GC/MS. Thirty compounds (90.3%) were identified in the Hydrolate by the use of laboratory apparatus, thirty-eight compounds (83.4%) in the Hydrolate from the traditional method and fifteen compounds (98.3%) in the industrially produced sample...

Citrus plants are known to possess beneficial biological activities for human health. In addition, ethnopharmacological application of plants is a good tool to explore their bioactivities and active compounds. This research was carried out to evaluate the phenolic and flavonoid analysis, antioxidant properties, anti inflammatory and anti cancer activity of Citrus aurantium bloom. The total phen...

The commercial essential oils of Citrus aurantium L., Cupressus sempervirens L., Eucalyptus globulus Labill., Foeniculum vulgare Mill. and Thymus vulgaris L., isolated by steam distillation by a company of Morocco were evaluated in terms of in vitro antioxidant activity through several methods. In vitro acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity was also determined. Citrus limon (L.) Burm. f. oil...

introduction: test anxiety is a common phenomenon and the problematic concern of the educational system. scented essentials like lavender (angustifolia) oil and citrus aurantium (orange flower) oil have positive impact on people's physical and mental condition and anxiety. this study was designed to compare and evaluate the effects of lavender essential oil aroma and citrus aurantium essen...

Freeze dried powdered leaves of Cymbopogum citratus (DC) Stapf, Cinnamomum camphor a (L.) Nee & Eberm Ipomoea mauritiana Jacq. famarandus indicus L., Lantana camara L., Myroxylon balsumum (L.) Harm, Citrus aurantium L. and vitex altisima L. were tested against Callosobruchus maculatus under nochoice and choice situations. Under no-choice situation, V. altisima at the rate of 5.0% w/w was highly...

This study was conducted to examine the synthesis of ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles, using the hydroethanolic extract of Citrus aurantium flowers, through the application of FeCl2.4H2O, FeCl3.6H2O, and Zinc Acetate. The present piece of work is regarded important especially when ascertaining the potential of a widely distributed underused mangrove associated plant, C. aurantium, as used in the folk medi...

The clinical efficacy of standardized essential oils (such as Lavender officinalis), in treating anxiety disorders strongly suggests that these natural products are an important candidate source for new anxiolytic drugs. A systematic review of essential oils, their bioactive constituents, and anxiolytic-like activity is conducted. The essential oil with the best profile is Lavendula angustifoli...

Citrus aurantium L. is commonly used as an alternative treatment for insomnia, anxiety and epilepsy. Essential oil from peel (EOP) and hydroethanolic (70% w/v) extract (HE) from leaves were obtained. Hexanic (HF), dichloromethanic (DF) and final aqueous (AF) fractions were obtained from HE by successive partitions. Swiss male mice (35-45 g) were treated orally with 0.5 or 1.0 g/kg of these prep...
