nootkatone/citrus reticulata

The production of the sesquiterpenes nootkatone and valencene by callus cultures of Citrus species is described. The levels of these compounds were examined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and their yields were compared with the amounts found in mature fruits. A simultaneous increase and

The objective of this research was to study the usefulness of nootkatone as a senescence indicator for Rouge La Toma cv. grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.), simulating different treatments that included the normal postharvest handling of citrus fruits: temperature conditioning, cold storage,

Nowadays, the discovery and development of α-glucosidase inhibitors from natural products or their derivatives represents an attractive approach. Here we reported studies on a series of novel N-acyl-2-aminothiazoles fused (+)-nootkatone and evaluation for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activities.

Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity by essential oils of Citrus paradisi (grapefruit pink in USA) was studied. Inhibition of AChE was measured by the colorimetric method. Nootkatone and auraptene were isolated from C. paradisi oil and showed 17-24% inhibition of AChE activity at the

Limonene is a primary component of citrus essential oils (EOs) and has been reported to induce apoptosis on tumor cells. Little is known about induction of apoptosis by citrus EOs. In this study, we examined induction of apoptosis by Citrus aurantium var. dulcis (sweet orange) EO, Citrus paradisi

The volatile constituents of cold-pressed peel essential oils of redblush grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macfadyen forma Redblush) and pummelo (Citrus grandis Osbeck) from the same locality in Kenya were determined by GC and GC-MS. A total of 67 and 52 compounds, amounting to 97.9 and 98.8% of the two

A systematically chemical investigation of Citrus changshan-huyou Y.B. Chang resulted in the isolation and structure determination of twelve known natural products, including limonoid ( 1 ), nootkatone ( 2 ), scoparone ( 3 ), β-sitosterol ( 4 ), 3,5,6,7,8,3',4'-heptamethoxyflavone ( 5 ), nobiletin (

BACKGROUND Orange flavour is the results of a natural combination of volatile compounds in a well-balanced system including sugars, acids and phenolic compounds. This paper reports the results of the first determination of aroma, organic acids, sugars, and phenolic components in Dortyol yerli orange
