A Comparative LC/MS Analysis of Jordanian Lemon (Citrus limon): Peels, Pulp, Leaves, Branches, and Juice

Abstract

Citrus limon (lemon) is important in pharmaceutical, restorative, and culinary (solid nourishment). It has uncommon properties and distinctive chemical compositions. The advantageous organic action of C. limon is decided by its tall substance of phenolic compounds, basically flavonoids (e.g., diosmin, hesperidin, limonin) and phenolic acids (e.g., ferulic, synaptic, p-hydroxybenzoic acids). The fundamental oil contains bioactive monoterpenoids such as D-limonene, β-pinene, and γ-terpinene. As of late, deductively demonstrated restorative exercises of C. limon incorporate anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer, and antiphrastic exercises. This considers the point of utilizing liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) to examine the distinctive chemical components in different parts of Jordanian lemon. Lemon peels have the most extreme substance of hesperidin.
