Citrus flavonoids are mainly present in the outer skin of citrus plant fruits (including the outer skin, capsule, and fascia). Citrus, as a traditional Chinese medicine, has a history of thousands of years in China. As a nutrient that greatly helps human health, the main functions of citrus flavonoids include the following three points:

1. Application of antioxidants in food and beverages

The common reactive oxygen species in living organisms mainly include superoxide anion radicals, hydroxyl radicals, alkoxy radicals in the form of oxygen radicals, as well as hydrogen peroxide and singlet oxygen in the form of non oxygen radicals. These substances have significant cytotoxic effects in the body and can directly oxidize with biological macromolecules in the human body, including nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins, Therefore, changing the structure and function of these substances. Flavonoids, as a clearing agent for reactive oxygen species and a preventive measure for elderly diseases, are currently one of the hot topics of attention. The flavonoids and isoflavones contained in citrus flavonoids have significant antioxidant properties. Among them, naringin has been applied as an antioxidant to prolong the stability of vegetable oils, and its flavor is better than BHT; Combined with its good water solubility and thermal stability, the advantages of citrus flavonoids in the development of functional foods and beverages are becoming increasingly apparent.Food Additive

2. Anti cancer and anti cancer functions and prevention of circulatory system diseases

Research has shown that citrus flavonoids obtained from citrus fruits contain flavonoids containing oxygen-containing heterocyclic compounds with anti-cancer activity.Plant extract  The flavonoids in citrus flavonoids mainly include 13 main types of compounds, including flavonoids and isoflavones, which have significant physiological activities. Chinese herb extract The flavonoids in citrus have been shown to reduce erythrocyte Health food materials sedimentation rate, Inhibiting the growth of HL-60 leukemia cells and having the ability to dissolve cancer cells, Kupchan et al. from the University of Wisconsin have found that citrus flavonoids have anti-tumor effects and have conducted in-depth research in the field of new drug development.

At the same time, flavonoids have vitamin P-like effects, which can affect the function of blood vessel wall cells and platelets, white blood cell function, coagulation process, blood rheology, and thrombus formation. The multi-methoxy compounds in citrus flavonoids such as melatonin, orange flavonoids, and citrus flavonoids have important pharmacological effects, which can reduce red blood cell aggregation and blood cell sedimentation rate in the human body. In addition, multi-methoxy flavonoids are a cardiac stimulant, It can directly produce a contractile effect on heart tissue, and utilizing the biological activity of citrus flavonoids, it can be used as a natural food additive in the production of functional foods and beverages.

 It is widely used as Health food ingredient，Nutritional Supplements, Dietary Supplements and cosmetics.
