“…Such kind of natural immunostimulants are medicinal plants, among these C. limon , and citrus plants in general, have long been used to treat many diseases in traditional medicine such as obesity, diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia, high blood pressure, inflammation (Padilla‐Camberos et al, ; Park et al, ; Parra et al, ; Tort, ), brain disorders, cancer (Lim et al, ; Parra et al, ; Shetty et al, ; Tort, ), microbial infections (Ou et al, ; Park et al, ; Shetty et al, ), digestive disorders (Padilla‐Camberos et al, ; Park et al, ; Shetty et al, ), vitamin deficiencies (Shetty et al, ) and bronchial, asthmatic and degenerative diseases (Lim et al, ) among others. In general, the different parts of citrus plants have beneficial properties, for example immune‐enhancing (Padilla‐Camberos et al, ; Shetty et al, ) and anti‐toxic (Chowdhury et al, ), and present antioxidant (Cho et al, ; Gómez et al, ; Nouri & Shafaghatlonbar, ; Ou et al, ; Padilla‐Camberos et al, ; Wu et al, ), antibacterial (Ou et al, ; Ramadan et al, ; Shetty et al, ), anti‐diabetic (Menichini et al, ; Padilla‐Camberos et al, ; Wu et al, ), anti‐inflammatory (Ramadan et al, ), hepato‐protective (Chowdhury et al, ), neuro‐protective (Ramadan et al, ) and kidney‐protective (Sridharan et al, ) activities due to the phenolic compounds they contain, such as terpenes (Nakajima et al, ; Ou et al, ; Park, Lee, & Park, ; Park et al, ; Shetty et al, ) phenolic acids (Ou et al, ; Park et al, ; Shetty et al, ) and flavonoids (Gómez et al, ; Lee et al, ; Lim et al, ; Nakajima et al, ; Okuyama & Zasshi, ; Park et al, ; Shetty et al, ; Wu et al, ). For these important reasons it was decided to test the effects of this important fruit on gilthead seabream, as on...…”

“…In both studies, substantial improvements in the fish immune status were observed. Taking advantage of the fact that lemon is widely cultivated in our region we selected this fruit for the present study bearing in mind the many properties and beneficial activities it is known for, mainly those related with antioxidant power (Cho, Jung, Lee, Cho, & Choi, ; Gómez et al, ; Nouri & Shafaghatlonbar, ; Okuyama & Zasshi, ; Ou, Liu, Sun, & Chan, ; Padilla‐Camberos et al, ; Wu, Luo, & Xu, ). Furthermore, taking into account previous reports that improved diet formulations may help fish in the face of stressful events, and the importance of gilthead seabream ( Sparus aurata L.) in marine aquaculture, the effect of administering dehydrated lemon peel (DLP) as an additive in a commercial diet of S. aurata was studied.…”

“…The main nutritional components present in this industrial byproduct were considered in order to compare the data among the tested experimental diets. The main aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of DLP on some metabolic parameters in serum that are widely used to refer to a wide range of health, welfare and stress‐related factors in fish (Baba et al, ; Cao, Booth, Sadowski, & Prior, ; Cao, Russell, Lischner, & Prior, ; Cho et al, ; Conceiçao et al, ; Gómez et al, ; Nakajima, Madeira, Macedo, & Macedo, ; Ngugi et al, ; Nouri & Shafaghatlonbar, ; Ou et al, ; Padilla‐Camberos et al, ; Soengas & Aldegunde, ; Tort, ; Wang, Chien, & Pan, ; Wu et al, ), such as glucose, lactate, urea, transaminases and the total antioxidant status (TAS). In addition, our research group recently demonstrated that skin mucus is a suitable matrix for evaluating stress conditions in fish (Guardiola et al, ), and that some of its responses are related to some serum responses.…”

Effects of dietary dehydrated lemon peel on some biochemical markers related to general metabolism, welfare and stress in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurataL.)

Dehydrated lemon peel (DLP) at two levels (1.5% and 3%) was included for 30 days in the diet of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata L.) and after 15 and 30 days the serum and skin mucus of fish were analysed. In serum, both experimental diets led to an initial decrease in glucose and lactate after which the levels became comparable to the control. Dietary DLP modulated the activity of transaminases, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase. The total antioxidant status showed a progressive increase in relation to levels of inclusion of DLP and time of administration (p < .05). In skin mucus, some biomolecular markers related to general stress, oxidative stress and apoptosis exhibited variations that suggest an adaptive response of fish to the new metabolic situation, resulting from the experimental diet. The inclusion of DLP in the diet seems to positively modulate the central metabolism and welfare of gilthead seabream.

“…Lemon pectin is also a source of valued pectin oligosaccharides showing potent prebiotic activity, for example, by increasing the population of healthy bacterial species like the lactobacilli. [ 30 ] The latter fermentative lactic acid bacteria today are widely used as probiotics, namely as microbes which transiting the gastrointestine benefit the health of the user. [ 31 ] Non‐digestible prebiotic lemon pectin oligosaccharides pass the small intestine and access the lower gut where they become accessible to probiotic bacteria.…”

Today's green chemistry technologies open the route to a broader and richer economy for lemons, well beyond the fresh fruit and fruit juice markets. This has important social, environmental, and economic consequences for all lemon‐growing countries and for many industries. Which are the new bioproducts obtainable from lemon and its by‐products? And what are the unforeseen new applications of old bioproducts such as pectin? Following an updated outlook on the global lemon economy, it is shown through selected examples how the lemon bioeconomy might unfold in the course of the next few years (2021–2025).

It has been shown that whole grains and dietary fiber are important for their fermentation characteristics in the large intestine, drawing more and more attention to quinoa and quinoa polysaccharides. In this study, we evaluated the prebiotic effect of quinoa seeds and quinoa polysaccharides after human simulated digestion. The modulatory effect of the quinoa and quinoa polysaccharides (QPs) on the gut microbiota was evaluated by the in vitro fermentation using human fecal microbiota. The yield of polysaccharides extraction was 15.45%. The digestibility of the cooked and uncooked quinoa after simulation of human digestion was 69.04% and 64.09%, respectively. The effect on the microbiota composition and their metabolic products was determined by the assessment of pH, short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and changes in the bacterial population. After 24 hr anaerobic incubation, the total SCFAs of cooked, uncooked quinoa, and quinoa polysaccharides were 82.99, 77.11, and 82.73 mM, respectively with a pH decrease. At the phylum, genus, and class level, it has been found that the quinoa substrates enhance the growth of certain beneficial bacteria such as Prevotella and Bacteroides . Quinoa polysaccharides can be considered prebiotic due to their ability to increase Bifidobacterium and Collinsella . Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that there was a distinct modulating effect on the fecal microbiota which represents different distribution. Our research suggests that quinoa and quinoa polysaccharides have a prebiotic potential due to their association with the positive shifts in microbiota composition and short‐chain fatty acids production, which highlights the importance of further studies around this topic.
