Citrus fruits, renowned for their abundant of phytochemicals and bioactive compounds, hold a prominent position as commercially grown fruits with health-promoting properties. In this context, tangerine peel (, CRP) is garnering attention as a byproduct of citrus fruits. Within the framework of the circular economy, CRP has emerged as a focal point due to its potential health benefits. CRP, extracted from cv. and aged for over three years, has attracted increasing attention for its diverse health-promoting effects, including its anticancer, cardiovascular-protecting, gastrointestinal-modulating, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties. Moreover, CRP positively impacts skeletal health and various physiological functions. This review delves into the therapeutic effects and molecular mechanisms of CRP. The substantial therapeutic potential of CRP highlights the need for further research into its applications in both food and medicine. As a value-added functional ingredient, CRP and its constituents are extensively utilized in the development of food and health supplements, such as teas, porridges, and traditional medicinal formulations.
柑橘类水果以其丰富的植物化学物质和生物活性化合物而闻名，作为具有促进健康特性的商业种植水果占据着重要地位。在此背景下，陈皮（CRP）作为柑橘类水果的副产品正受到关注。在循环经济框架内，由于其潜在的健康益处，CRP已成为一个焦点。从cv.中提取并陈化三年以上的CRP，因其多样的促进健康作用，包括抗癌、心血管保护、胃肠调节、抗氧化、抗炎和神经保护特性，而受到越来越多的关注。此外，CRP对骨骼健康和各种生理功能有积极影响。本综述深入探讨了CRP的治疗作用和分子机制。CRP巨大的治疗潜力凸显了对其在食品和医学应用中进一步研究的必要性。作为一种增值功能成分，CRP及其成分被广泛用于食品和健康补充剂的开发，如茶、粥和传统药用配方。
