Abstract: Tooth decay is a major public health problem which affects a large number of people in several countries. Even though more than 700 bacterial species have been detected in the oral cavity, Streptococcus and Lactobacillus stand out as the genera that cause tooth decay and other periodontal diseases. In this study, essential oils from Citrus aurantifolia leaves (CL-EO) and fruit peel (CP-EO) were obtained by hydrodistillation by a Clevenger-type apparatus whereas their chemical composition was analyzed by gas ch… Show more

“…Leaves EO of C. aurantium grown in Shiraz (south of Iran) showed the presence of limonene, linalool, and trans-β-ocimene as major components and exhibited strong antioxidant activity [65]. EO obtained by cold pressing of C. aurantium fruits with high percentage of limonene (77.90%) and minor percentages of β-pinene (3.40%) and myrcene (1.81%) was inactive against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas, while moderately active against Stapylococcus aureus [66].…”

“…The potential biological activity of C. aurantifolia essential oils reported by previous researchers may be ascribed to the activity of the major chemical constituents of these essential oils in a individualistic or synergistic mechanism and its lipophilicity to penetrate targeted cells [26][27][28]. Furthermore, the predominance of constituent such as limonene, neral and citral in C. aurantifolia leaf oil indicate its prospects to serve as a source of these bioactive compounds for industrial applications.…”

“…Both are associated with the hydrophobicity of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, which are often their main chemicals. Hydrophobicity of terpenoids may enable them to permeate cell membranes easily, thus, causing parasite or microorganism death by affecting their metabolic pathways or organelles (Lemes et al 2018). EOs could interact with the parasite membrane, cause drastic physiological changes, lead to reduced membrane permeability and result in cell death.…”
