“…Citrus fruits are more popular owing to their thirstquenching quality, anti-viral, anti-diabetic, antiinflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-fungal, and anti-ulcer medicinal properties (Rafique et al, 2020). Due to the presence of alkaloid constituent in lemon flowers, stem, leaves and roots act against anti-bacterial, anticancer (Oikeh et al, 2016).…”

“…It is an evergreen tree in the family of Rutaceae grown for its edible fruit 13 which among other things, are used in variety of foods, drinks, cosmetics, home-made remedies, and traditional medicine. 14 Citrus limon has found a wide range of uses especially among the locals of Southern, Eastern and Western Nigeria. Citrus limon is commonly known as Oroma nkirisi (Igbo), Orombo-wewe (Yoruba), lemun tsami (Hausa).…”

The genus Citrus species have been widely used in the relief of arthritic pain in traditional medicine. Citrus limon pith was one of the constituents of herbal decoctions taking daily for prevention against Coronavirus disease during covid -19 era. This study investigated the immunomodulatory activity of the aqueous extract of the pith of C. limon using cyclophosphamide-induced myelosuppression and delayed type hypersensitivity reaction in Wistar rats. Thirty-six rats were divided into six groups of six animals each. Three groups served as the control while the remaining three groups were given 150, 300, 600 mg/kg of extract respectively via oral route for 13 days. Groups II to VI were administered cyclophosphamide 30 mg/kg i.p on day 11, 12, and 13. On the 14th day, blood samples were collected for haematological parameters analysis. Delayed type hypersensitivity reaction was carried out using 24 animals divided into four groups of six animals each. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of triterpenoids, flavonoids, and carbohydrates. LD50 was found to be greater than 3000 mg/kg. C. limon extract on cyclophosphamide-induced myelosuppression showed a statistically significant (P<0.05) increase in the white blood cells (WBC), platelets and lymphocytes counts at all extract doses. In the delayed type of hypersensitivity reaction, percentage increase in inflammation was 24.3%, 31.5% and 43% at extract doses of 150, 300 and 600 mg/kg. The findings of this study have shown that the aqueous extract of the pith of C. limon possessed immunostimulatory activity.

The development of new sustainable material solutions in the processing of thermoplastic polymers concerns both the application of biopolymers and the use of valorized plant derivatives as fillers and modifiers of petrochemical polymers. Herein, the possibility of using unprocessed raw parts of two commonly used in the food industry leaves, i.e., lemon (LL) and stevia (ST), as active and functional fillers for high-density polyethylene (HDPE) has been verified. The series of composites containing 1, 2, and 5 wt% of ground leaves produced in the melt-mixing process were analyzed for thermal properties (DSC and TGA), and the antioxidant potential of the fillers was evaluated. Verifying the active effect of the ground leaves on the resistance to oxidation in the molten state was carried out by oxygen induction time (OIT by DSC) analysis and oscillatory rheology under steady-state shear conditions combined with spectroscopic (FTIR) carbonyl index (CI) analysis. Studies have shown that the introduction of 5 wt% of both types of leaves allows for a significant increase in the melt oxidation resistance (above 2 times longer OIT concerning HDPE, ~ 35 min) of composites without substantial changes in their crystalline structure and thermal stability. Determined after the long-term rheological measurements in an oxidative atmosphere CI showed 70 and 82% lower values for 5 wt% LL and ST composites compared to unmodified polyethylene.
