It is difficult to distinguish melanose and melanoses-like symptoms with the naked eye because they appear similar. To accurately detect melanose symptoms caused by Diaporthe citri from melanose-like symptoms, we developed PCR-based specific primers Dcitri by aligning the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of D. citri with the ITS of Diaporthe cytosporella, Diaporthe foeniculina, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Botrytis cinerea, Alternaria citri, and Fusarium oxysporum found on citrus peel. PCR results showed that the specific product was amplified in D. citri but not in other isolates including, C. gloeosporioides, B. cinerea, A. citri, F. oxysporum. In addition, specific products were observed in melanose symptoms caused by D. citri but not in melanose-like symptoms, such as copper-injury, sunscald, damages by yellow tea thrips, and pink citrus rust mite. Using the Dcitri primers developed in this study, it is expected that melanose caused by D. citri could be accurately distinguished from melanose-like symptoms.

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with citrus pulp, fish by-product, and Bacillus subtilis fermentation biomass on the growth performance, apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of nutrients, and fecal microflora of weanling pigs. A total of 180 weaned piglets (Landrace ${\times}$ Yorkshire ${\times}$ Duroc) were randomly allotted to three treatments on the basis of body weight (BW). There were six replicate pens in each treatment with 10 piglets per pen. Dietary treatments were corn-soybean meal-based basal diet supplemented with 0 (control), 2.5, and 5.0% citrus pulp, fish by-product, and B. subtilis fermentation biomass. The isocaloric and isoproteineous experimental diets were fed in mash form in two phases (d 0 ~ 14, phase I and d 15 ~ 28, phase II). Dietary treatments had significant linear effects on gain to feed ratio (G:F) in all periods, whereas significant linear effects on ATTD of dry matter (DM), gross energy (GE), and ash were only observed in phase I. Piglets fed diet supplemented with 5.0% citrus pulp, fish by-product, and B. subtilis fermentation biomass showed greater (p < 0.05) G:F (phase I, phase II, and overall) as well as ATTD of DM, GE, and ash (phase I) than pigs fed control diet. Dietary treatments also had significant linear effects on total anaerobic bacteria populations by d 14 and 28. In addition, piglets fed diet supplemented with 5.0% citrus pulp, fish by-product and B. subtilis fermentation biomass showed greater (p < 0.05) fecal total anaerobic bacteria populations (d 14 and 28) than pigs fed control diet. Dietary treatments had no significant effects (linear or quadratic) on average daily gain (ADG), average dial feed intake (ADFI; phase I, phase II, and overall), or fecal populations of Bifidobacterium spp., Clostridium spp., and coliforms (d 14 and 28). These results indicate that dietary supplementation with 5.0% citrus pulp, fish by-product, and B. subtilis fermentation biomass has the potential to improve the feed efficiency, nutrient digestibility, and fecal microflora of weanling pigs.

제주자생 재래감귤종이 하나인 진귤(Citrus sunki Hort. ex Tanaka)의 과피는 전통적으로 매우 중요한 한약재 성분으로 사용되어 왔으나 그 약리학적 효과에 대해서는 과학적인 분석이 되어 있지 못하다. 본 연구에서는 진귤과피추출물과 과피발효 추출물의 1차 항산화활성을 검색하여 발효 후 추출물이 더욱 효과적인 활성을 가지고 있는 사실을 발견하였고 이를 바탕으로 대식세포인 Raw264.7세포에서 산화질소의 생성, 염증유발 단백질(NOS2, Cox-2)의 수준을 억제할 뿐 아니라 동 세포의 생존능을 개선시키는 결과를 얻었다. 그러나 상피세포유래 세포주인 CHO-IR 세포 및 사람의 간암세포주인 HepG2 세포의 생존능은 반대로 발효후 추출물에 의해 억제되는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과들은 진피의 발효후 추출물이 대식세포의 항염증활성을 증가시키는 반면, 종양세포의 증식을 억제하고 세포사멸을 유도하는 다양한 약리효과를 가지고 있음을 의미한다.

감귤 과괴 뿐만 아니라 가공부산물 내에는 carotenoid, bioflavonoids, pectin 등의 풍부하게 함유되어 있으며, 특히 flavonoids는 항산화 또는 금속이온과 착염을 형성하여 free radical이나 electrophiles 및 과산화 지질의 생성을 막아 세포, 조직, 기관이 손상을 억제 해주며, 노화방지, 순환계 질환을 예방 해주며 항암 효과가 있는 것으로 밝혀지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 미생물을 첨가하여 발효시킨 감귤 가공부산물의 열수 추출액과 감귤 가공부산물의 열수 추출액을 가지고 어류 질병 세균에 대한 항균활성과 항산화활성을 측정하였는데, 어류 질병 세균에 대한 항균 실험에 있어서는 미생물을 첨가하여 발효시킨 감귤 가공부산물 추출액에서 저해 효과가 뚜렷하게 나타났다(Table 3). 반면 항산화활성 측정에서는 감귤 가공부산물 자체도 항산화 활성이 높다는 것을 알 수가 있다. 그러나 E. faceium, P. pentosaceus, L. plantarum, L. rhamnosus, B. subtilis, S. cerevisiae를 각각 첨가하여 발효시킨 감귤 가공부산물을 기존 합성 항산화제인 BHT와 BHA와 비교하여 보았을 때 전자공여능을 이용한 항산화 활성 측정에서는 전체적으로 높은 항산화 활성 효과를 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났고, 특히 B. subtilis, S. cerevisiae를 이용하여 발효시킨 실험구에서는 합성 항산화제인 BHA보다 높은 89%와 같은 값인 87%에 활성을 나타내고 있다. SOD유사활성 측정에 대한 결과는 Fig. 2에서처럼 L. rhamnosus를 첨가하여 발효시킨 실험구를 제외하고 나머지 5개의 실험구에서는 기존 합성항산화제인 BHT와 BHA보다 높거나 유사한 활성을 나타내었다. 그리고 hydroxyl radical 소거활성 측정에서는 미생물을 첨가하여 발효시킨 산물에 추출액의 활성이 높게 나타났으며, 1%에 농도에서는 합성 항산화제보다도 좋은 활성을 나타내는 것으로 조사 되었는데, 특히 B. subtilis를 첨가하여 발효시킨 실험구에서는 가장 높은 활성을 나타내고 있다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 미생물을 첨가하여 발효과정을 거친 감귤 가공부산물의 어류 질병 세균에 대한 항균활성이나 항산화활성에 있어서 그 효과가 탁월하다는 것을 알 수가 있다. 그리고 발효과정에 있어 첨가되어진 미생물 중에서는 B. subtilis와 S. cerevisiae가 발효 미생물로서 적합하다는 것을 알 수가 있었고, 본 연구에서 Bacillus subtilis 같은 경우는 가장 높은 항균활성과 항산화활성을 나타내고 있어 최적 발효 미생물로 말할 수가 있을 것이다.

Four polymethoxyfavones were isolated from the leaves of Citrus deliciosa, three of which (nobiletin, 5-O-demethylnobiletin, and tangeritin) are bioactive. The fourth (7,4'-dihydroxy-5,6,8,3'-tetramethoxyflavone) is reported for the first time in the genus Citrus and is a potential chemotaxonomic marker. The structures of these flavones were confirmed by analysing their spectral data and comparison with similar compounds. The previously reported $^{13}C$ NMR assignment of 5-O-demethylnobiletin has been revised on the basis of 2D NMR experiments (HETCOR, COSY, and COLOC). The chemotaxonomic value of the present finding is verified.

Aqueous extraction of Citrus unshiu peels (AECUP) is mainly comprised with pro-angiogenichesperidin and narirutin. In this study, we report approaches to increasing the yields of extracted hesperidin and narirutinfrom Citrus unshiu peels using proper solvents. Significantly improved yields of both compounds were obtained using methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) compared to acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, ethanol, and isopropyl alcohol. Especially, effect of DMSO was by far the better of the two solvents in extraction of hesperidin. In addition, the DMSO extracted hesperidin significantly induced the pro-angiogenic effects of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and markedly up-regulated phosphorylation of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway. These results demonstrate that pro-angiogenic inducer; hesperidin and narirutin can be simply, easily, and effectively extracted from Citrus unshiu peels.

Targeted therapy has been a very promising strategy of drug development research. Many molecular mechanims of diseases have been known to be regulated by abundance of proteins, such as receptors and hormones. Chemoprevention for treatment and prevention of diseases are continuously developed. Pre-clinical and clinical studies in chemoprevention field yielded many valuable data in preventing the onset of disease and suppressing the progress of their growth, making chemoprevention a challenging and a very rational strategy in future researches. Natural products being rich of flavonoids are those fruits belong to the genus citrus. Ethanolic extract of Citrus reticulata and Citrus aurantiifolia peels showed anticarcinogenic, antiproliferative, co-chemotherapeutic and estrogenic effects. Several examples of citrus flavonoids that are potential as chemotherapeutic agents are tangeretin, nobiletin, hesperetin, hesperidin, naringenin, and naringin. Those flavonoids have been shown to possess inhibition activity on certain cancer cells' growth through various mechanisms. Moreover, citrus flavonoids also perform promising effect in combination with several chemotherapeutic agents against the growth of cancer cells. Some mechanisms involved in those activities are through cell cycle modulation, antiangiogenic effect, and apoptosis induction.Previous studies showed that tangeretin suppressed the growth of T47D breast cancer cells by inhibiting ERK phosphorylation. While in combination with tamoxifen, doxorubicin, and 5-FU, respectively, it was proven to be synergist on several cancer cells. Hesperidin and naringenin increased cytotoxicitity of doxorubicin on MCF-7 cells and HeLa cells. Besides, citrus flavonoids also performed estrogenic effect in vivo. One example is hesperidin having the ability to decrease the concentration of serum and hepatic lipid and reduce osteoporosis of ovariectomized rats. Those studies showed the great potential of citrus fruits as natural product to be developed as not only the source of co-chemotherapeutic agents, but also phyto-estrogens. Therefore, further study needs to be conducted to explore the potential of citrus fruits in overcoming cancer.
