Acidic citrus juices obtained from C. natsudaidai and C. grandis were electrodialyzed with bipolar and organic acid selective membrane (ion exchange membrane) cartridges. The pH levels of the acidic citrus juices gradually increased to 14.5% (C. grandis) and 25.2% (C. natsudaidai) by electrodialysis with the bipolar membranes, while levels remained consistent when organic acid selective membranes were applied. The total acidity levels decreased more with the organic selective membrane than with the bipolar membrane. Conductivity rose with the bipolar membranes while the value continued to fall rapidly with the organic selective membranes. Sugar and flavonoid contents remained relatively unchanged, without any significant differences before and after electrodialysis with each membrane. Also, ion contents were almost unchanged with the bipolar membranes and the electrolyte, $K_2SO_4$, as compared to rapid changes in sodium and potassium levels with the organic selective membranes and the electrolyte, $K_2SO_4$. In summary, the use of bipolar membranes provided juice with better sensory quality than that of the organic acid selective membranes.

Volatile components of the essential oils of Satsuma mandarin (C. unshiu), Dangyuza (C. grandis), Yuza (C. junos), Byungkyul (C. playtymamma), Jinkyul (C. sunki), and Hakyul (C. natsudaidai) grown in Jeju Island were isolated from the fruit peels by hydro distillation and determined by GC-MS. GC-MS analysis identified 58 compounds, with main components being d-limonene $(64.01{\sim}79.34%),\;{\beta}-myrcene\;(3.01{\sim}26.53%),\;{\gamma}-terpinene\;(0.11{\sim}12.88%),\;{\beta}-pinene\;(0.78{\sim}4.74%),\;and\;{\alpha}-pinene\;(1.01{\sim}2.55%)$. Differences in compositions and contents of the essential oils were observed among citrus varieties. Effects of citrus oils on growth inhibitions of Escherchia coli, Staphyllococcus epidermidis, and Candida albicans were investigated using disc diffusion assay and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay. The essential oils inhibited growths of the test organisms, exhibiting higher levels of activity against Gram-positive S. epidermidis (MIC values $0.04{\sim}0.17mg/mL$), whereas Gram-negative E. coli was moderately resistant (MIC values $1.66{\sim}20.30mg/mL$). MIC of citrus essential oils ranged from $0.82{\sim}23.69mg/mL$ against C. albicans. The essential oils obtained from C. sunki, C. grandis, and C. playtymamma showed the highest antimicrobial activities against S. epidermidis and C. albicans, indicating their potential as natural antimicrobial agents.

The nutritive values of leaves of Citrus grandis, Citrus aurantium, Citrus oranges, Citrus limon, and Citrus deliciosa were evaluated by chemical composition and in vitro gas production techniques. There were significant (p<0.001) differences among citrus species in terms of chemical composition. Crude protein (CP) contents ranged from 123.0 to 148.3 g/kg DM. Neutral detergent fibre (NDF) and acid detergent fibre (ADF) contents were varied with species in the range 219.4-355.4 and 215.0-278.8 g/kg DM respectively. Condensed tannin (CT) contents were ranged from 5.9 to 10.2 g/kg DM. The PEG addition significantly (p<0.001) increased the gas production and some estimated parameters of citrus tree leaves. However, species showed variable responses to polyethylene glycol (PEG) treatment. There were also significant (p<0.001) differences among species in terms of gas production and estimated parameters. The OMD and ME contents of citrus leaves without PEG supplementation were ranged from 66.5 to 73.3% and 9.8 to 10.9 MJ/kg DM respectively. The improvement in gas production, organic matter digestibility (OMD) and metabolizable energy (ME) with PEG emphasized the negative effect of tannins on digestibility. The increase (%) in the estimated OMD and ME contents ranged from 5.5 to 9.8% and 5.7 to 10.2% respectively. All citrus tree leaves studied in this experiment have potential nutritive values indicated by high crude protein content, OMD, ME and low fiber values.

Objectives: This study was carried out to evaluate the quality of the peels of various Citrus species. Method: The contents of hesperidin from fruit peels used as Citri Pericarpium such as C. natsudaidai, C. grandis, C. unshiu, and C. sunki, were analyzed by HP-TLC, HPLC, and essential oils of those were analyzed by GC/MS. Results: HPLC analysis showed that the hesperidin from the peel of C. unshiu and C. reticulata was satisfied the standard of Korean Pharmacopoeia. The essential oil was analyzed by GC/MS. As a result, limonene, furfural, 5-methyl-2-furfural, linalool oxide(cis), linalool oxide(trans), terpinen-4-ol, $(-)-{\alpha}$-terpineol, germacrene D, 4-methyl-2,6-di-tert-butylphenol was detected in all 4 kinds of Citrus species. Conclusions: As a result of chemotaxonomical similarity analysis with essential oils, the peels of C. natsudaidai and C. grandis are closely related, while C. unshiu is distantly related to the others.

In the present study, we investigated the anti-proliferation activity of Citrus grandis Osbeck peel (CGP) in HL60 (human promyelocytic leukemia) cells. It was found that 80% ethanol extract of CGP could inhibit the cell growth in a dose-dependent manner ($250{\sim}1,000{\mu}g/mL$), which was associated with morphological changes and apoptotic cell death such as depolarized mitochondrial membrane, formation of apoptotic bodies and increased populations of apoptotic sub-G1 phase. The results indicate that CGP extract inhibits the growth of HL60 cancer cells by the induction of apoptosis, which may be mediated by its ability to change the Bcl family proteins and increase the activation of caspase-3 and PARP. Therefore, it is suggested that CGP has the potential to provide a remarkable natural defense against the proliferation of HL60 cells.

The effect of inhibition on N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) formation by methanol extracts from 6 kinds of citrus seed (Citrus sunki, Citrus natsudaidai, Citrus sulcata, Citrus tangerina, Citrus grandis and Citrus obovoidea) were investigated. The contents of moisture, crude protein, crude fat, carbohydrate, ash, flavonoid and total phenol in citrus seeds were 4∼6, 11∼15, 32∼46, 22∼45, 2∼4%, 12∼24mg% and 53∼133mg%, respectively. The solid contents and yield of citrus seed extracts were 0.8∼1.0 and 0.7 ∼ 1.1%, respectively. Nitrite-scavenging activity by methanol extracts from citrus seeds increased with increasing extract dosage. Furthermore, the nitrite scavenging activity was pH dependent being the highest at pH 1.2 (42.7∼96.9%) and the lowest at pH 6.0 (19.9-62.6%). Scavenging effects of nitrite by reaction time showed high effects under 3hr reaction time. The inhibition effect of NDMA formation by the citrus seed was strengthened as the amount of extract increased. The inhibition rate of methanol extracts from citrus seeds on NDMA formation showed 1.2∼39.8%, 21.3∼60.1% and 47.4∼94.0%, according to add 1, 3 and 5$m\ell$, respectively. Therefore, the inhibition effect of NDMA formation by the citrus seed was strengthened as the concentration of extract increased.

제주도에서 재배되어 온 재래귤 5종(당유자, 유자, 청견, 하귤, 팔삭) 부위별 에탄올 추출물의 총 폴리페놀 함량 측정, 총 플라보노이드 함량 측정, DPPH radical 소거 활성 실험을 실시하였다. 총 폴리페놀 함량의 경우, 5종 재래귤(당유자, 유자, 청견, 하귤, 팔삭) 부위별 에탄올 추출물 가운데 당유자의 외피(244.84mg/g)와 중피(200.70mg/g) 처리구에서 폴리페놀 함량이 가장 높았다. 총 플라보노이드 함량의 경우, 총 폴리페놀의 함량 측정에서와 마찬가지로 5종 재래귤(당유자, 유자, 청견, 하귤, 팔삭) 부위별 에탄올 추출물 가운데 당유자의 외피에서 102.12mg/g으로 가장 높았으며, 청견과 하귤, 팔삭의 플라보노이드 함량은 폴리페놀 처리구와 같이 당유자 처리구보다 적게 나타났다. DPPH radical 소거 활성의 경우, 총 폴리페놀 함량과 총 플라보노이드 함량 측정의 결과에 같은 경향으로 5종 재래귤(당유자, 유자, 청견, 하귤, 팔삭) 부위별 에탄올 추출물 가운데 당유자의 외피(79.39%)와 중피(70.73%)에서 가장 양호한 항산화 활성을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과들로부터 당유자의 두꺼운 과피 구조인 외피와 중피에 에센셜 성분인 limonene, myrcene, β-ocimenes 등과 같은 향기성분들의 영향으로 생각되어 앞으로 이에 대한 연구가 더 필요하리라 생각된다.
