Health Benefits of Orange Juice and Citrus Flavonoids

Assessment ofin vitrobioaccessibility of carotenoids and phenolic compounds in a model milk–mandarine beverage

“…4 From a nutritional point of view, orange juice is a good source of provitamin A carotenoids and vitamin C, in addition to folate and other bioactive compounds such as flavonoids. 5 A wide variety of carotenoids (more than 100) have been reported in citrus fruits, but violaxanthin and β-cryptoxanthin (β-CRX) both in peel and pulp are the main discriminating factors between the different citrus genotypes. 6,7 In this sense, mandarins are one of the richest sources of β-CRX, one of the six carotenoids found in human blood and tissues.…”

Development of an Enriched Polyphenol (Natural Antioxidant) Extract from Orange Juice (Citrus sinensis) by Adsorption on Macroporous Resins

“…e nutritional benefits of citrus consumption on human health are well demonstrated [17][18][19][20][21][22], and over the past decades, a large number of studies have been carried out with the aim of identifying the bioactive components present in different parts of citrus fruits [23,24] in an attempt to gain a deeper understanding of the correlation between diet, health benefits, and reduced risk of diseases [17,25]. In this context, several studies have associated the consumption of foods rich in phenolic compounds with lower risks of different types of cancer [26] and a decrease in the incidence of many diseases, as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) [27].…”

QUALITY AND NOVEL INDICATORS OF COMMERCIAL LIFE IN Valencia ORANGES (Citrus sinensis Osbeck)

“…Pectins and dietary fiber are also present, as are many volatiles responsible for the characteristic aroma of these fruits. As a result, orange consumption is thought to exert many beneficial effects on the overall health of humans (Rapisarda et al, 2008;Hernandez-Carrillo et al, 2015;Romero-Cano et al, 2015;Goncalves, 2017).…”
