Physiochemical properties, dietary fibers, and functional characterization of three yuzu cultivars at five harvesting times

Ameliorative Effect of Citrus junos Tanaka Waste (By-Product) Water Extract on Particulate Matter 10-Induced Lung Damage

“…Like the TPC results, the CJBs had a TFC of 21.11 ± 0.49 mg of RE/g of the sample ( Table 1 ). Furthermore, the most abundant bioactive compounds in citrus fruits were analyzed (i.e., naringin and hesperidin) [ 7 ] in our study ( Figure 1 ). The quantification data of the naringin and hesperidin content in the CJBs ranged from 4.00 ± 0.09 mg and 9.00 ± 0.03 mg/g of the sample, respectively ( Table 1 ).…”

“…CJ has been suggested as a good source of dietary antioxidants, and its role in the prevention and treatment of various diseases has been widely studied [ 2 , 3 , 4 ]. The major phenolic compounds found in CJ are flavonoids (including naringin, hesperidin, narirutin, and neohesperidin), which are considered one of the most important sources of bioactive compounds [ 5 , 6 , 7 ]. CJ has been widely used as a beverage, ice cream, dessert, and cooking material because of its tart flavor.…”

Modulating flavanone compound for reducing the bitterness and improving dietary fiber, physicochemical properties, and anti-adipogenesis of green yuzu powder by enzymatic hydrolysis

“…It is distinguished from other citrus fruits by having a potent, distinctive aroma and is well-recognized for the delightful fragrance of its outer peel. Yuzu contains high levels of bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, phenolic compounds, organic acids, and minerals that contribute to its biological activities, including antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, anticarcinogenic, and antihypertensive activities ( Kim et al, 2013 ; Lee et al, 2022 , Nam et al, 2021 ). Moreover, yuzu peel is rich in dietary fiber, primarily composed of cellulose, polysaccharides, lignin, and proteins that give their superior physicochemical properties, enhance their biodegradable properties, and contribute to human health benefits as dietetic ingredients ( Lv, Liu, Zhang, & Wang, 2017 ; Karra et al, 2020 , Nam et al, 2021 ).…”

Therefore, yuzu has been used to produce various food products, such as fruits, sugar-pickled yuzu tea, aroma and flavor additives, and natural ingredients in biodegradable polymers and packaging materials ( Nam, et al, 2021 ).…”

Green yuzu, the immature fruit of yuzu, has gained attention recently due to its higher flavonoid content than mature yuzu.…”
