- Active Principles
- The most important group of bioactive compounds are flavonoids such as flavonones—eriodictyol, hesperidin, hesperetin, naringin; flavones—apigenin, diosmin; flavonols—quercetin; and their derivatives. Some flavonoids, such as neohesperidin, naringin and hesperidin, are characteristic for C. limon fruit. It has the highest content of eriocitrin. The main compounds of essential oil are monoterpenoids, especially D-limonene. There are mainly two such compounds in the juice—ferulic acid and synapic acid, and their derivatives. In contrast, the presence of p-hydroxybenzoic acid has been confirmed in the fruit. In the fruit, there are also coumarin compounds, carboxylic acids, carbohydrates, as well as amino acids, a complex of B vitamins, and, importantly, vitamin C (ascorbic acid).
