“…The results obtained for the chemical composition of the EOs are in agreement with those reported in the literature [18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25]. Mohagheghniapour et al (2018) identified the following composition of orange essential oil: Linalool acetate (12.2 ± 0.08%–28.9 ± 0.2%), linalool (22.9 ± 0.07%–54.0± 0.2%), farnesol (0.2 ± 0.04%–10.4 ± 0.07%), E-nerolidol (0.4 ± 0.1%–21.4 ± 0.04%), and geranyl acetate (0.97 ± 0.05%–9.3 ± 0.08%) [18]. Noteworthy, significant differences in the content of D-limonene (1%–14%) and β-pinene (0%–9.6%) were observed depending on the extraction method applied [19].…”

The present paper addresses a thematic of interest in preventive dental medicine, namely the possibility of using essential oils (EOs) for the inhibition of the development of Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) in the oral cavity, as a viable alternative to chemical products with protective role in oral health. For this purpose, four EOs (cinnamon, clove, bergamote, and orange) were chemically characterized by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and in vitro tested against S. mutans (ATCC 25175). The results obtained revealed the antibacterial effect on S. mutans exercised by the essential oils of clove (CLEO), bergamote (BEO), and orange (OEO), which were included in the production of natural emulsion-type preparations with application in dental medicine. In order to highlight the synersistic/antagonistic effects generated by the chemical constituent of essential oils, binary and tertiary emulsions were prepared and used in saliva-enhanced medium against S. mutans. The saliva tests proved the synergistic effect exercised by the active components of EOs tested from tertiary emulsions, which cause an inhibition of the development of S. mutans in oral cavities.

“…In addition, ethanolic extraction by the MAE method produced a greater amount of flavonoid from C. aurantium peels (102 mg/g DW) as compared to aqueous extraction by the maceration method (52 mg/g DW) [ 94 ]. The impact of several microwave assisted extractions—microwave-assisted hydro-distillation (MAHD), solvent microwave extraction (SLME), and solvent-free microwave extraction (SFME)—on the fluctuations of essential oils composition from C. aurantium blossoms was studied [ 95 ]. The major compounds identified using the three methods were linalool, linalool acetate, geranyl acetate, farnesol, and nerolidol.…”

Citrus aurantium L. Active Constituents, Biological Effects and Extraction Methods. An Updated Review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Citrus genus is a prominent staple crop globally. Long-term breeding and much hybridization engendered a myriad of species, each characterized by a specific metabolism generating different secondary metabolites. Citrus aurantium L., commonly recognized as sour or bitter orange, can exceptionally be distinguished from other Citrus species by unique characteristics. It is a fruit with distinctive flavor, rich in nutrients and phytochemicals which possess different health benefits. This paper presents an overview of the most recent studies done on the matter. It intends to provide an in-depth understanding of the biological activities and medicinal uses of active constituents existing in C. aurantium. Every plant part is first discussed separately with regards to its content in active constituents. All extraction methods, their concepts and yields, used to recover these valuable molecules from their original plant matrix are thoroughly reported.

“…The variations in the chemical composition of the EOs could be explained by various extraction processes and plant parts used. Furthermore, they are affected by various soils and climatic characteristics of the regions where the C. aurantium trees grow [36,45,[68][69][70][71]. For example, the ranges of linalool acetate, linalool, farnesol, nerolidol, and geranyl acetate at 12.2-28.9%, 22.9-54%, 0.2-10.4%, 0.4-21.4%, and 0.97-9.3%, respectively, in C. aurantium blossom EO were observed by seven different methods of oil extraction [71].…”

Yield, Phytochemical Constituents, and Antibacterial Activity of Essential Oils from the Leaves/Twigs, Branches, Branch Wood, and Branch Bark of Sour Orange (Citrus aurantium L.)

et al. 2019

In the present work, essential oils (EOs) extracted from different parts of sour orange Citrus aurantium (green leaves/twigs, small branches, wooden branches, and branch bark) were studied through gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Furthermore, the EOs in the amounts of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 µL were studied for their antibacterial activity against three pathogenic bacteria, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Dickeya solani, and Erwinia amylovora. The main EO compounds in the leaves/twigs were 4-terpineol (22.59%), D-limonene (16.67%), 4-carvomenthenol (12.84%), and linalool (7.82%). In small green branches, they were D-limonene (71.57%), dodecane (4.80%), oleic acid (2.72%), and trans-palmitoleic acid (2.62%), while in branch bark were D-limonene (54.61%), γ-terpinene (6.68%), dodecane (5.73%), and dimethyl anthranilate (3.13%), and in branch wood were D-limonene (38.13%), dimethyl anthranilate (8.13%), (-)-β-fenchol (6.83%), and dodecane (5.31%). At 25 µL, the EO from branches showed the highest activity against A. tumefaciens (IZ value of 17.66 mm), and leaves/twigs EO against D. solani and E. amylovora had an IZ value of 17.33 mm. It could be concluded for the first time that the wood and branch bark of C. aurantium are a source of phytochemicals, with D-limonene being the predominant compound in the EO, with potential antibacterial activities. The compounds identified in all the studied parts might be appropriate for many applications, such as antimicrobial agents, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
