“…These results agree with other studies which have shown that lemon was found to contain the highest total phenolic and flavonoids contents [35][36][37][38][39]. Some authors have even reported that the total polyphenol content in the peeled lemons and their peels are significantly higher than those in oranges and grapefruits, peeled and peels, respectively [38]. In addition, total phenolics and total flavonoid content were still significantly higher in the skin than those in the pulp for all citrus fruits, in accordance with previous studies [40,41].…”

Citrus genus is the most important fruit tree crop in the world and lemon is the third most important Citrus species. The evaluation of the potential inhibitory activity on α-amylase and pancreatic lipase by Citrus lemon fruits of Algerian origin aiming for new applications of the fruits in nutrition and health was carried out. Lemon fruit EtOAc (ethyl acetate) extract showed higher contents of phytochemicals such as total phenolics and flavonoids. Furthermore, lemon fruit showed higher potential for inhibitory effects on α-amylase and pancreatic lipase. It could be concluded that lemon fruits are of great value for nutrition and treatment of diet-related diseases such as obesity and diabetes.

“…Gorinstein, et al found that the total phenolic compounds in the peels of lemons, oranges, and grapefruits were 15% higher than that of the pulp of these fruits [17]. Peels from apples, peaches, pears as well as yellow and white flesh nectarines were found to contain twice the amount of total phenolic compounds as that contained in fruit pulp.…”

Citrus production in Ethiopia is threatened by a number of biotic and abiotic factors. Among these citrus gummosis is one of the most important biotic constraints in the country. This study was conducted with the objective to measure and estimate the incidence and distribution of citrus gummosis (Phytophthora spp.) in major citrus growing areas of Ethiopia. Surveys were conducted in ten major citrus growing areas of Ethiopia. In each orchard, 30 trees were selected and totally 300 trees were assessed for gummosis incidence. These trees were sampled by making two diagonal transects across the field in the form of an "X". A tree decline was scored on a 0-4 scale where 0=free of any decline symptom, 4=complete drying of the plant. A tree was defined and recorded as cankered when it had any of the following symptoms: discoloration of the bark surface, discoloration of the underlying tissues, dieback, dried the whole part of the plant and exudation of gum from infected tissues. Results showed that growth and fruit production are greatly reduced on trees infected by this disease. Cracked lesions that exude sap are found on infected scions, which become gradually girdled and killed. This symptom was prevailed in 90% of the surveyed citrus orchards. Gummosis was more frequent on scions (trunk and branch) which had 66.96% infection than rootstocks (33.02%). generally the issue needs more attention in the field management including harvesting method (avoid climbing on the tree rather through ladder), don't touch the tree with the equipments and hands with mud probabily have an inoculums; when irrigating and weeding and finally use of fungicides when pruning of the diseased branch.
