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. L., commonly recognized as sour or bitter orange, can exceptionally be distinguished from other 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 . 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.
属是全球重要的主要作物。长期的选育和大量的杂交产生了无数的物种，每个物种都有其独特的代谢途径，生成不同的次生代谢物。芸香科柑橘属，通常被认为是酸橙或苦橙，由于其独特的特性可以与其他物种明显区分开来。它是一种具有独特风味的水果，富含营养成分和植物化学物质，具有不同的健康益处。本文综述了该领域最近的研究进展。旨在深入了解存在于芸香科柑橘属中的活性成分的生物活性和药用用途。首先分别讨论每个植物部位的活性成分含量。全面报道了从原始植物基质中回收这些有价值分子的所有提取方法、概念和产率。
