ABSTRACT
Citrus fruits are one of the important fruit trees grown worldwide and appreciated for their refreshing juice and health benefits. The research paper has in depth literature review on the importance of Citrus fruits and investigate the numerous therapeutic properties of Citrus fruits. The research paper summarizes the findings of the phenolic content, Antioxidant activity of extracts of Citrus fruits on 10 samples. The research made to estimate the mineral composition (g 100-1), proximate composition (%) and food energy (g Cal-1), phytonutrients content of Citrus species on dry weight basis expressed as mg/100g , Vitamin composition of Citrus juice expressed as mg/100g for 5 species and tabulated the data with graphical representation. Finally, paper concluded the importance of Citrus fruits on the basis of results of antioxidant activity, total phenolic and total flavonoid contents of Citrus leaves. The research also find out the different parameter by vitro antimicrobial activity the oil samples of seeds and peels of orange and analysis the findings.
