“…The Ponkan essential oil also showed the presence of decanal, less than 1%, i.e., 0.57% and 0.21% in PW and PP, respectively. Value in agreement with that obtained by Simas et al [5] who obtained 0.28%. According to Baudoux [7] esters and aldehydes are responsible for the sedative and calming properties of essential oils, thus the presence of decanal in the chemical composition of the obtained Ponkan essential oil is an indication that it has these therapeutic properties that may be beneficial for aromatherapy purposes.…”

“…This is characterized, as green oil, yellow oil, and red oil, according to the degree of maturity of the fruit and the extraction method used [4]. Furthermore, these oils are applied in several areas, such as the perfumery, food and beverage, cleaning materials and pharmaceutical industries [5]. Kwangjai et al [6] reported that Ponkan peel essential oil contains anxiolytic compounds that modify brain waves (95.7% d-limonene), contributing to the sleep phase of increased physical energy recovery occurring more often and for longer periods.…”

Article InformationThe tangerine juice corresponds to 47 wt.% of the fruits and it is normally extracted by pressing generating agro-industrial waste rich in compounds with market value. Thus, the objective of this study was to obtain the essential oil from Citrus reticulata Blanco peels and compare it with those obtained from the waste of the ponkan tangerine juice industry, rich in d-limonene. The waste and peels were cut into pieces of approximately 1 cm², dried in an oven with air circulation at 50 °C for 15 h, ground, and classified by sieving with particle size between 20 to 28 mesh. The moisture content in dried waste and peels were 8.5 wt.% and 6.0 wt.%, respectively. A particle size was defined for the extractions. The essential oil extractions were performed by hydrodistillation, in Clevenger method, with 50 g of sample, 500 mL of distilled water for 2 h. The essential oil yield was 0.22 wt.% (88.5 % of d-limonene) for ponkan waste and 1.65 wt.% of for ponkan peel (89.7 % of dlimonene). The results showed that separation of the Ponkan peel before processing the fruit enables more efficient extraction of the compounds of interest.

“…There are several methods for obtaining essential oils. According to Koch et al (2015) and Azambuja (2017), the most used method to extract EO from citrus fruits is cold pressing, and the steamdrag distillation process is also widely used (Simas et al, 2015). This is a colorless, oily liquid with citrus odor, characteristic of citrus fruits.…”

“…Limonene is one of the most studied types of essential oils lately, found in more than 300 species of different plants (Jongedijk et al, 2016), and is the main component of citrus essential oils (Zahi et al, 2015;Simas et al, 2015), where it represents from 30% to 97% of its composition (Simas et al, 2015). Limonene is represented by the chemical formula C10H16, belongs to the terpene family, and is an unsaturated cyclic monoterpene that can occur in two optical forms (d-limonene and l-limonene) (Jongedijk et al, 2016), while d-limonene is one of the most important cyclic monoterpenes (Zahi et al, 2015).…”

Limonene is the main component of citrus essential oils, and can reach a concentration of up to 96%. Popularly known for its potential therapeutic effects on the body, among these we point out its broad antimicrobial activity against various types of pathogens. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to address the antimicrobial and antifungal properties of limonene compared to microorganisms of interest in dentistry, based on a bibliometric study and literature review. The following databases were analyzed: PubMed, Google Scholar, SciELO and Science Direct, from which ten articles published between 2011-2021 were selected. Most of results indicate a satisfactory antimicrobial potential, besides providing important data and perspectives regarding the indication and clinical use, in addition to innovative therapeutic modalities for diseases that affect the oral cavity, such as tooth decay, periodontal disease and candidosis.
