The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of extraction methods on the antioxidant activity of Citrus unshiu pomace. For this purpose, two kinds of citrus pomace (CP)s, whole fruit CP and pulp CP, were used for preparing the extracts with hot water or 70% ethanol. It is well-known fact that whole fruit CP has more calories and carbohydrates, although moisture content is higher in pulp CP. Further, whole fruit CP extracts have higher levels of total phenolic contents compared to CP extracts. In addition, DPPH and alkyl radical scavenging activities were also higher in whole fruit CP, especially in ethanolic extracts. Our results based on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer showed that 70% ethanolic extract of whole fruit CP has the maximum levels of nobiletin and tangeretin contents. The levels of naringin, which is known as an antioxidant flavonoid, was determined only in the 70% ethanolic extract of whole fruit CP. This result, however, is consistent with the observed DPPH and alkyl radical scavenging activities. We had also performed a gas chromatography analysis that showed all the four extracts contained the compound hydroxymethyl furfural. Significantly, this compound has been reported to have antioxidant activity. Taken together, findings of this study indicate that ethanolic extraction of whole fruit CP is a good source of antioxidant compounds and hence the same could be utilized as an important method to obtain such beneficial compounds on an industrial scale.

Bioactive flavonoids have been shown to improve the biological activity of stem cells derived from different sources in tissue regeneration. The goal of this study was to see how naringin, a natural flavonoid discovered in citrus fruits, affected the biological properties of human dental pulp stem cells (HDPSCs). In this study, we found that naringin increases the migratory ability of HDPSCs. Naringin increased matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) mRNA and protein expression in HDPSCs. ARP100, a selective MMP-2 inhibitor, and AMD3100, a CXCR4 antagonist, both inhibited the naringin-induced migration of HDPSCs. Furthermore, naringin increased osteogenic differentiation of HDPSCs and the expression of the osteogenic-related marker, alkaline phosphatase in HDPSCs. Taken together, our findings suggest that naringin may be beneficial on dental tissue or bone regeneration by increasing the biological activities of HDPSCs.

A fungus with the highest protopectinase productivity was selected among 205 strains isolated from the soil and identified as a Verticillium sp. The Verticillium sp. was cultivated on wheat bran and the crude extruct of its culture medium showed the highest protopectinase activity on the following conditions: 3 days of cultivation time, 27$^{\circ}C$ of cultivation temperature, 1.2 $m\ell$/g wheat bran of water content, and reinforcement of ammonium nitrate and calcium chloride at the concentration of 0.5 and 0.02%, respectively. The optimum conditions for pectin production from Citrus peel pulp by the protopectinase were consequently obtained as follows: 20$m\ell$/g of liquid volume-to-pulp weight ratio, 4$0^{\circ}C$ of reaction temperature, and 4 of reaction pH. The higher the enzyme concentration, the better the yield of pectin and the shorter the reaction time. Total 45.6mg of pectin/g peel was produced by 1 hour reaction at the enzyme concentration of 10.5 units/$m\ell$. Molecular weight of the pectin produced by the enzyme was estimated to be about 62,000 by Smit and Bryant's method.

The botanical antimicrobial agent prepared from citrus fruits (BAAC) was prepared to provide inhibitory ability to packaging paper The BAAC diluted in 0.5% and 1% starch solution respectively was applied to packaging paper by the thin coating technique. The antimicrobial packaging paper displayed great inhibitory effect against the putrefying microbes including fungi, yeast and bacteria. Tn addition to antimicrobial activity of the packaging papers, their physical properties such as tensile strength, burst strength, tear strength and bending stiffness could be improved by simultaneous treatment with starch. Both the item packaging by tissue paper and the outer packaging by corrugated boxes, which were treated by the thin coating of BAAC and starch, exhibited great ability in preserving freshness of stored mandann oranges. The more treatment of BAAC was made in the packaging paper, the greater freshness-preserving ability was generated.

Yuza (Citrus junos) had 3 varieties and they had variable physiochemical properties. This study analyzed free sugar, hesperidine, naringin, flavonoid contents and antihypertensive activities according to variety and harvest time of Yuza. Three Yuza varieties, native (C. junos I), improved I (C. junos I + Poncirus trifoliata), improved II (C. junos I + C. junos II) were used. Harvest time could influence biochemical properties of Yuza such as acidity and $^{\circ}brix$. When the Yuza harvested at behind of season, the sugar/acid ratio went up because the acidity was decreased but sugar content was increased. Fructose content was dramatically high at November, Yuza of the season. Total flavonoids was high in pulp parts of improved II and in juice of native one harvested at October. The content of hesperidin and naringin in peels and juices were high in immature fruits fresh-picked at July since then they were decreased steadily and there were no difference according to varieties. The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition was powerful at pulp of Yuza in particular native one picked at November.

Pectinesterase(PE) has been definitively established as the causative agent for clarification of citrus juice and gelation of frozen concentrates. This enzyme is present in multiple forms in citrus fruit. Although representing a minor fraction of the total PE activity, thermostable pectinesterase(TSPE) accounts for the severe time/temperature processing treatment required to inactivate PE. This study was undertaken to separate and purify thermolabile pectinesterase(TLPE) and TSPE from the crude PE extracts of Valencia orange rag-pulp powder. The approach taken was to carry out the three kind of chromatographies of CM-Sephadex C-50, Phenyl Sepharose CL-4B and CM-Biogel A to the unheated crude PE or the heated crude PE. All of them used could increase the purity of PEs and, specially, Phenyl Sepharose CL-4B chromatography could separate crude PE as the mixture of PEs into two forms of TLPE and TSPE. The purified TLPE had specific activity of 1,005 units/mg, yield of 13.6% and purification of 35 fold, while the TSPE separated from the unheated crude PE showed specific activity of 3,115 units/mg, yield of 1.5% and purification of 100.5 fold, and another TSPE from the heated crude PE was found to be specific activity of 1,803 units/mg, yield of 15.4% and purification of 140 fold.

This study was conducted to investigate total flavonoid content, flavonoid composition, and free radical scavenging effects of by-products from five orange cultivars during the period September 2015 to February 2016. Total flavonoid content was highest in peel extracts from immature fruit harvested in September. Total flavonoid contents of all cultivars mostly decreased while ripening. Among the five cultivars, total flavonoid content was highest in Hamlin sweet orange (21.66 mg/g), followed by Sanguinello blood orange (20.39 mg/g), Shamouti orange (18.49 mg/g), Tarocco blood orange (18.46 mg/g), and Olinda Valencia orange (17.07 mg/g). With regard to flavonoid composition, all cultivar materials had high levels of narirutin and hesperidin, but naringin and neohesperidin were not detected in any of the materials. Nobiletin, as polymethoxyflavone, was detected within a$23{\sim}40{\mu}g/mL$ range in the immature fruit of all cultivars. Among all cultivars, antioxidant activities were higher in peel extracts than in pulp extracts. DPPH radical scavenging activities of peel extracts ranged from 40% to 58% while the ABTS radical scavenging activity range was 90~94%. The results indicate that orange, by-products, especially peel of immature orange fruit, could have application as natural materials with antioxidative effects.
