Plant Source—Grapefruit Seeds

Grapefruit (Latin name: Citrus paradisi Macf.) is a member of the Rutaceae family and Citrus genus. Wild grapefruits originate from Central America and are cultivated in Taiwan, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Chongqing, Guangxi, Hainan, and Yunnan. Grapefruit, also known as pomelo or shaddock, is related to oranges, mandarins, and lemons, and has close ties to the pomelo. It is one of the four major citrus groups (sweet oranges, pummelos, lemons, and grapefruits). The leaves of grapefruit have a fragrance similar to pomelo leaves, and the fruit is smaller than pomelo but larger than sour oranges. The fruit's skin is similar to pomelo but usually thinner, and the flesh is acidic like sour oranges, but its seeds are polyembryonic. Grapefruit is rich in nutrients and contains a variety of essential nutrients. It has a high edible rate of over 70%. The rich nutritional content surpasses other citrus fruits. It can be eaten fresh or processed into canned goods and juice, with juice being the primary consumption method; about half of the world's grapefruits are processed into juice. Grapefruit peel can be used to extract essential oils and bioflavonoids, and the pulp can be used to extract pectin and make candied fruit, while seeds can be used for oil extraction. Grapefruit is also used as a flavoring agent in frozen desserts, baked goods, carbonated beverages, and alcoholic drinks. It is also used as a fragrance in cosmetics, cleaners, soaps, and detergents. Grapefruit is favored for its rich nutritional content and trace elements, offering a wide range of health benefits.
