Study shows essential-oil vaporization reduces dental anxiety, especially in females and those with high trait anxiety. Promising potential for alleviating dental fear and improving patient comfort. Further research needed.
Pompia, a unique Sardinian citrus, has rich flavonoids & terpenoids with potential health benefits. Its extracts show antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial properties, promising for nutraceuticals, natural health products, and more research in food, cosmetics, and medicine.
Silver nanoparticles derived from the peel and juice of Citrus limon show promise in inhibiting Coronaviridae and Herpesviridae viruses with low toxicity, potentially offering a safe and effective antiviral strategy.
Plant-derived extracellular nanovesicles (CLENs) inhibit TNBC cell growth and migration by targeting PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK pathways. Promising natural anti-cancer agents for TNBC treatment.
Study evaluated essential oil chemical profile, found high levels of limonene, -pinene, and -terpinene. Showed CLEO has strong antibacterial and antibiofilm properties, potential as natural food preservative.
Researchers synthesized copper oxide nanoparticles using plant extracts from Camellia Sinesis and citrus limon. The nanoparticles showed potential in various applications, including healthcare and dentistry. They were tested for cytotoxicity, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.
Two herbal-alcohol-based hand sanitizers, containing Zingiber officinale and Ocimum sanctum, were found to be more effective than alcohol-based sanitizers in reducing microbial load, inhibiting influenza A virus, and causing less irritation to the skin. HS2 was particularly effective against viruses and the sanitizers have a longer shelf life.
This study investigated the chemical composition and activities of essential oils from Citrus aurantium and Citrus reticulata. Both oils showed antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-coagulant properties, making them potential sources of bioactive compounds.
This study looked at postharvest fungal pathogens in lemons and tested the effects of combining essential oil vapours to fight them. This could help reduce the need for synthetic fungicides, which are harmful to the environment and human health.
Researchers analyzed polyphenols obtained from agro-food industry waste and found that they inhibit key enzymes and reduce oxidative stress in neurogenerative disorders. This study suggests that these compounds could be used in combination with drugs for the prevention and management of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
Researchers developed a disposable and efficient electrochemical sensor for detecting BPA (a harmful environmental pollutant) using a complex synthesized from lemon extract. The sensor showed good sensitivity, wide linear range, low detection limit, and selectivity for BPA detection in environmental samples.
Ginger and lemon juices were analyzed for inflammation-fighting properties. Both juices showed significant anti-inflammatory activity, with the formulation of the two juices being the most effective. This research supports the development of nutraceutical preparations and further investigations into the compounds found in ginger and lemon.
This study explored the chemical composition, cytotoxicity, and antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of lemon leaf essential oil (LLEO) from plants in Sardinia, Italy. The main components of the LLEO were limonene, geranial, and neral. LLEO exhibited antimicrobial activity against various bacterial strains and yeasts. It also showed strong radical scavenging ability. In cell viability experiments, LLEO significantly reduced viability in cancer cells, while higher concentrations affected normal fibroblasts and keratinocytes. LLEO also displayed a pro-oxidant effect in cancer cells. This research highlights the potential benefits of lemon leaf essential oil for various applications in health and wellness.
Study compares efficacy of essential oils (EOs) for treating anxiety, aiming to clarify discrepancies in previous research. Researchers analyze results of multiple RCTs to provide insights into potential benefits of EOs.
Lemon fermented products (LFP) reduced liver triglyceride and cholesterol levels, regulated genes related to lipid metabolism, and improved gut microbiota, potentially preventing obesity.
