Abstract:

Citrus is a general term used for fruits belonging to the Rutaceae family, and is the largest genus of fruit plants in this family. Citrus fruits are the most widely traded horticultural product in the world. The main economically important species of this genus are lemon, lime, sweet orange, sour orange, mandarin, grapefruit, citron and shaddock (pomelo). Among all species, sweet orange is the leading fruit crop of this genus, accounting for about 70% of the total world citrus fruit production. Citrus fruits are one of the most preferred flavors in the world and are valued for their high nutritional value. It is known that citrus fruits and products made from them are a rich source of vitamins, minerals, fiber and pectins, which are necessary for the normal functioning of the human body. In addition, they have been found to contain a number of biologically active, non-nutritional substances that help regulate various metabolic processes.
