HPLC coupled with normal phase electron ionisation (EI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation (APCI)/ mass spectrometry methods has been applied to identify 17 known neutral limonoid aglycones from Citrus sources. The HPLC-MS data from the known limonoids provided chromatographic characteristics, APCI-derived molecular weight data and EI fragmentation data for each limonoid. EI fragmentation patterns for the limonoids were correlated with structural characteristics. The EI fragmentation patterns coupled with APCI-derived molecular weights were utilised as a potential method by which to discern the structural character of unknown citrus limonoids.

Limonoids are important constituents of citrus that have a significant impact on promoting human health. Therefore, the primary focus of this research was to assess the overall limonoid content and isolate limonoids from Adalia lemon (Citrus limon L.) peels for their potential use as antioxidants and anti-diabetic agents.

Citrus fruit industrial processing generates tons of waste composed of peels, seeds and pulp. Incorrect disposal of these residues may harm the environment. The extraction of oil and bioactive compounds from citrus fruit seeds may be considered a sustainable alternative to the disposal of waste by the citrus agroindustry.

Yuzu (Citrus junos) is a citrus plant native to Asian countries, including Korea, Japan, and China. Yuzu peel and seed contain abundant vitamin C, citric acid, and polyphenols. Although the antioxidative and antimelanogenic activities of other citrus fruits and yuzu extract have been reported, the tyrosinase inhibitory activity of the limonoid aglycone contained in yuzu seed extract is unknown.

In this study, we investigated the impact of harvest maturity stages and contrasting growing climates on secondary metabolites in Kinnow mandarin. Fruit samples were harvested at six harvest maturity stages (M1−M6) from two distinct growing locations falling under subtropical−arid (STA) and subtropical−humid (STH) climates. A high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) technique was employed to identify and quantify secondary metabolites in the fruit juice.

In this study, neutral loss scan and high-resolution MS/MS were used in combination to detect and tentatively identify various flavonoid and limonoid glycosides in navel orange albedo, juice, peel and pulp. These compound classes are of research interest due to their flavour and bioactive properties, and although flavonoid glycosides have been previously studied in other food matrices, to the best of our knowledge, neutral loss scans have not been used for the elucidation of limonoid glycosides. Neutral loss masses of 120, 162 and 308 Da were selected for the detection of hexose, rutinose and neohesperidose-substituted flavonoids, whereas 197 Da was explored for limonoid glycosides due to their tendency to form ammonium adducts.
