Abstract

The modern industrial application of lemon is significantly associated with their juicy materials obtained from the pulpy region, leaving behind a remarkable mass of by-products that are often discarded as waste. Several studies have shown that materials obtained from all handling and processing operations have substantial biological benefits based on their concomitant phytochemistry. In addition, these materials have been found suitable as raw substrates for the syntheses and manufacturing of various food-based additives. This research briefly delineates these concepts and offers a comprehensive framework of its etymology, rich history, and overall pomology. More importantly, recently studied underlying biochemical mechanisms for the actions of lemon and its by-products for metabolic disorders such as diabetes, cancer and hypertension are technically delineated. These materials have been appraised as natural sources for nutraceuticals studied to be potential alternatives to typical synthetic pharmaceutics.

Keywords: Lemon, D-limonene, Antidiabetic, Anticancer, Antihypertension, Nutraceuticals
