Abstract

Citrus fruits are widely recognized not only for their refreshing taste but also for their rich content of bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, carotenoids, and essential oils. The molecular mechanisms through which citrus-derived compounds exert their effects highlight their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and cardioprotective properties. Flavonoids, such as hesperidin and naringin, exhibit potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation-related diseases. Carotenoids like beta-cryptoxanthin and lutein offer protective effects against various cancers and support eye health. The essential oils, dominated by limonene, show promising anticancer, antimicrobial, and cardioprotective effects. The role of citrus bioactive in modulating metabolic pathways, improving immune function, and promoting gut health. Nanoformulation of citrus-based compounds involves the development of nanometer-scale formulations of active ingredients derived from citrus plants. These formulations show the promising effect of preventing and managing chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and certain types of cancer. The bioavailability and metabolism of citrus bioactive, emphasizing the importance of food matrix interactions and individual variability. By exploring current research, it is easy to understand the health benefits of citrus fruits and their therapeutic potential in nutritional science and preventive medicine.
