The extract is citrusaurantium. or C. sinensiso. It contains flavonoids, volatile oil, alkaloids, organic acids and other components. Flavonoids mainly include hesperidin, neohesperidin, naringin, citrinin, picrotin, picrotin, lime and so on. Hesperidin can maintain the normal osmotic pressure of blood vessels, enhance capillary toughness, reduce cholesterol, improve immunity, antibacterial, antiviral and other effects. Hesperidin has wide application prospects in medical care, functional food, food additives, cosmetics and other fields. Hesperidin can be Chemicalbook used to synthesize and produce Diossmin (DOSM), an anticancer drug. In food, it can be used in combination with citric acid, ascorbic acid or phosphoric acid as a food additive to prevent the oxidation and deterioration of food lipids and play a fresh-keeping role; Hydrogenated hesperidin is the natural sweetener dihydrochalazone, which is 1000 times sweeter than sucrose; In addition, hesperidin has many health functions and is a good health food raw material. In the field of cosmetics, hesperidin can effectively prevent erythema and skin cancer caused by lipid peroxidation of skin cells caused by ultraviolet light, and can be used as an active ingredient in sunscreen cosmetics and skin care products.

Aurantii fructus immaturus (AFI), also known as Zhishi in Chinese, is the dried unripe fruit of the Citrus aurantium L. or Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck tree that is harvested between May and June. It is a traditional Chinese medicine with a long history of clinical use and is considered to have both medicinal and edible value.
AFI has been used to treat gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhea, gasteremphraxis, and uterine prolapse. Flavonoids extracted from AFI have also been shown to inhibit liver inflammation, reduce oxidative stress damage, and protect the liver from fibrosis and lipotoxicity. Other studies have found that AFI can increase the cytolytic activity of primary natural killer cells and promote the gastric empting process in rats.
Aurantii Fructus Immaturus (AFI) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herb that's been used to treat many diseases, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and gastrointestinal issues. AFI is derived from the bitter orange, Citrus aurantium, and contains bioactive ingredients like flavonoids, alkaloids, volatile oils, and coumarins. These ingredients have many potential health benefits, including:
Anticancer
Anti-inflammatory
Antioxidant
Antifungal
Anti-anxiety
Gastric mucosa protective
Intestinal motility regulatory
Nerve protective
One study found that AFI can also enhance the activity of natural killer (NK) cells, which are important for the immune system. AFI treatment increased the expression of NK cell-activating receptors, such as NKp30 and NKp46, and cytolytic granules. This allowed AFI-treated NK cells to kill target cells more effectively than untreated NK cells.
