Abstract EN
The chemical composition and functional activities of cold-pressed and water distilled peel essential oils of Citrus paradisi (C.
paradisi) and Citrus grandis (L.) Osbeck (C.
grandis) were investigated in present study.
Yields of cold-pressed oils were much higher than those of distilled oils.
Limonene was the primary ingredient of essential oils of C.
paradisi (cold 92.83%; distilled 96.06%) and C.
grandis (cold 32.63%; distilled 55.74%).
In addition, C.
grandis oils obtained were rich in oxygenated or nitrogenated compounds which may be involved in reducing cardiovascular diseases or enhancing sleep effectiveness.
The order of free radical scavenging activities of 4 citrus oils was distilled C.
paradisi oil > cold-pressed C.
paradisi oil > distilled C.
grandis oil > cold-pressed C.
grandis oil.
Cold-pressed C.
grandis oil exhibited the lowest activity in all antioxidative assays.
The order of antimicrobial activities of 4 citrus oils was distilled C.
grandis oil, cold-pressed C.
paradisi oil > distilled C.
paradisi oil > cold-pressed C.
paradisi oil.
Surprisingly, distilled C.
grandis oil exhibited better antimicrobial activities than distilled C.
paradisi oil, especially against Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica subsp.
The results also indicated that the antimicrobial activities of essential oils may not relate to their antioxidative activities.
