Ethnopharmacological research identified antioxidants such as vitamin C, carotenoids and phenolic compounds, also a source of sugars, organic acids, amino acids, pectins, minerals and volatile organic compounds as components of C. reticulata.
The crude extracts of C. reticulata fruits have depicted anti-inflammatory, anticholesterolemic, analgesic, antiasthmatic, antiscorbutic, antiseptic, antitussive, carminative, expectorant, stomachic.
Phytochemical investigations of C. reticulata have revealed a rich array of volatile and semi-volatile metabolites, including monoterpenes (eg, limonene, γ-terpinene, α-pinene), sesquiterpenes (eg, β-caryophyllene), aldehydes (eg, decanal, octanal), alcohols (eg, linalool, nerol), and esters (eg, ethyl acetate, methyl anthranilate), many of which contribute to the species' distinct citrus aroma and bioactivities. Limonene, the dominant monoterpene in citrus peel oils, has been widely studied for its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-carcinogenic properties.
