“…Similar susceptibility was found for P. aeruginosa. Previously, it was demonstrated that Citrus sinensis seed oil obtained by Soxhlet apparatus using n-hexane as solvent possessed antibacterial activity against S. aureus and Candida albicans (Olabanji et al, 2016). Buket et al (2018) also reported that the lemon, orange, and grapefruit cold-pressed seed oil had inhibition zones ranging from 6.62 to 11.00 mm against pathogenic bacteria such as S. aureus, E. coli, S. typhimurium, Salmonella enteritidis, P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae, Candida utilis, and Bacillus cereus Holl.…”

Citrus is the most cultivated fruit crop in the world and occupies a place of considerable importance in the country’s economy. Almost 33% of the citrus fruits are processed for juice production; however, a great amount of wastes, including peels, segment membranes, and seeds are also produced. Indeed, citrus fruits consist of 45% juice, 26% pulp, 27% peels, and 2% seeds. Pruning, a cultural practice involving the removal of tree branches and limbs, was applied to improve fruit’s quality. A large amount of leaves are produced through pruning. These agri-food matrices contain a wide range of bioactive phytochemicals compared to fruits. The present review covers the past 5 years of research carried out in chemistry, health properties, and applications in food and nutraceutical industries of all portions of citrus fruit and its major bioactive compounds. Additionally, patents are also included.

“…Bacterial diseases are very common in humans and are considered critical at times. Antibacterial activity was evaluated in C. sinensis (sweet orange) which proved that the cultivars Sisila , BAN and MT possessed anti-bacterial activities against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus ; the cultivar Biblia sweet and the sour orange C. aurantium prompted strongest effect against E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus , and MRSA [ 44 ], but seed oil was shown to have better effect than fruit peel against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans [ 45 ]. Moreover, citrus chemical compounds like limonin, nomilin, obacunone, inchanging and isoobacunoic acid are pointed out acting against several microbial species, like virus, bacterial, fungal [ 3 – 5 ] and larvicidal [ 5 ].…”

Bioactive natural products have always played a significant role as novel therapeutical agents irrespective of their source of origin. They have a profound effect on human health by both direct and indirect means and also possess immense medicinal properties. Fruit species are largely appreciated and highly consumed throughout the world. Epidemiologic information supports the association between high intake of fruits and low risk of chronic diseases. There are several biological reasons why the consumption of fruits might reduce or prevent chronic diseases. Fruits are rich sources of nutrients and energy, have vitamins, minerals, fiber and numerous other classes of biologically active compounds. Moreover, parts of the fruit crops like fruit peels, leaves and barks also possess medicinal properties and have been included in this review. The most important activities discussed in this review include antidiabetic, anticancer, antihypertensive, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiviral, stimulation of the immune system, cell detoxification, cholesterol synthesis, anticonvulsant and their ability to lower blood pressure. Several phytochemicals involved in this context are described with special emphasis on their structural properties and their relativity with human diseases.

“…Besides, the fruits belonging to the Citrus sinensis family produce large amounts of wastes, mostly seeds and peels, endowing suitable biological value. Seed oil demonstrated better activities than peel oil, with remarkable inhibitions obtained against S. aureus and Candida albicans at a concentration as low as 2.5 mg/mL [ 59 ]. Furthermore, the orange peel of 12 cultivars of Citrus sinensis from central-eastern was extracted through steam distillation and using hexane.…”

Site-Specific release of active molecules with antimicrobial activity spurred the interest in the development of innovative polymeric nanocarriers. In the preparation of polymeric devices, nanotechnologies usually overcome the inconvenience frequently related to other synthetic strategies. High performing nanocarriers were synthesized using a wide range of starting polymer structures, with tailored features and great chemical versatility. Over the last decade, many antimicrobial substances originating from plants, herbs, and agro-food waste by-products were deeply investigated, significantly catching the interest of the scientific community. In this review, the most innovative strategies to synthesize nanodevices able to release antimicrobial natural extracts were discussed. In this regard, the properties and structure of the starting polymers, either synthetic or natural, as well as the antimicrobial activity of the biomolecules were deeply investigated, outlining the right combination able to inhibit pathogens in specific biological compartments.
