Burnett, Scientific Writer/Analyst Monice M. Fiume , Senior Scientific Writer/Analyst Bart Heldreth, Ph.D., Chemist Date: February 21, 2014 Subject: Draft Safety Assessment on Citrus-Derived Ingredients In December 2013, CIR issued the Scientific Literature Review (SLR) for citrus-derived ingredients. These ingredients function primarily as skin conditioning agents-miscellaneous and fragrances. There are a total of 198 ingredients in this safety assessment. Unpublished data and concentration of use data that were provided by the Personal Care Products Council (Council) have been received and incorporated into the report. Comments received from the Council and the CIR Science and Support Committee have been considered. Many of the key issues from these comments need to be addressed by the Panel. Additionally, a letter with comments and suggestions from Dr. Ann Marie Api of the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials, Inc. (RIFM) has been received by CIR. The data and all comments can be found in this report’s package. All of the ingredients derived from citrus have been grouped into this report in accordance with the Panel’s preference for reviewing ingredient groups that are reasonably inclusive rather than limited without cause. We acknowledge that differences among species and plant parts can result in differences in cosmetic safety profiles. However, differences among species and/or plant parts may also be reasonably expected to result in no safety-relevant differences in the botanical cosmetic ingredients without evidence to the contrary. Sufficient data necessary to support changes to the grouping of these ingredients has not been submitted. To provide the Panel with a comprehensive report, CIR suggests that a complete component and property profile, in addition to all relevant toxicity data, be provided by the cosmetics industry to CIR for each of these ingredients, in accordance with the guidelines presented by the cosmetics industry for assessing botanical ingredients.1 According to the FDA’s VCRP database, citrus limon (lemon) peel oil has the most reported uses in cosmetic and personal care products, with a total of 510; more than half of the uses are in leave-on skin care preparations. Citrus limon (lemon) fruit extract has the second greatest number of overall uses reported, with a total of 448; more than half of those uses are in leave-on skin care preparations. In the Council’s survey of use concentrations, citrus limon (lemon) peel oil had a highest maximum use concentration range of 0.0001% to 0.5% with 0.5% reported in “other” skin care preparations. Citrus limon (lemon) fruit extract had a highest maximum use concentration range of 0.0001% to 1.2%, with 1.2% reported in night skin care products. Most of the other use concentrations that were reported had similar ranges. __________________________________________________________________________________________ 1620 L Street NW, Suite 1200, Washington, DC 20036 (Main) 202-331-0651 (Fax) 202-331-0088 (Email) [email protected] (Website) www.cir-safety.org However, maximum use concentrations as high as 29% were reported for citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) peel oil in hair conditioners and as high as 19% for citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) fruit water in paste masks and mud packs. Usually, CIR does not review ingredients that only function as fragrance ingredients because, as fragrances, the safety of these ingredients is evaluated by the RIFM. Twenty-two of the citrus-derived ingredients may function only as fragrances. CIR staff is in the process of confirming with RIFM that these ingredients are fragrance ingredients; if confirmed, these ingredients will be deleted from this safety assessment. If no further data are needed, the Panel should issue a Tentative Report. __________________________________________________________________________________________ 1620 L Street NW, Suite 1200, Washington, DC 20036 (Main) 202-331-0651 (Fax) 202-331-0088 (Email) [email protected] (Website) www.cir-safety.org Distributed for Comment Only -- Do Not Cite or Quote Distributed for Comment Only -- Do Not Cite or Quote Citrus History December 2013 – Scientific Literature Review announced.

Slaga, Ph.D.; and Paul W. Snyder, D.V.M., Ph.D. The CIR Director is Lillian J. Gill, D.P.A. This report was prepared by Christina Burnett, Senior Scientific Analyst/Writer and Monice Fiume, Assistant Director/Senior Scientific Analyst. Cosmetic Ingredient Review 1620 L Street NW, Suite 1200 ♢ Washington, DC 20036-4702 ♢ ph 202.331.0651 ♢ fax 202.331.0088 ♢ [email protected] ABSTRACT The CIR Expert Panel assessed the safety of 14 Citrus-derived peel oil ingredients and concluded that these ingredients are safe for use in cosmetic products when finished products, excluding rinse-off products, do not contain more than 0.0015% (15 ppm) 5-methoxypsoralen (5-MOP), and when formulated to be non-sensitizing and non-irritating. The citrus-derived peel oil ingredients are most frequently reported to function in cosmetics as fragrances and/or skin conditioning agents. The Panel reviewed the available animal and clinical data to determine the safety of these ingredients. Because final product formulations may contain multiple botanicals, each containing similar constituents of concern, formulators are advised to be aware of these constituents and to avoid reaching levels that may be hazardous to consumers.

  • High Biological Value Compounds Extraction from Citrus Waste with Non-Conventional Methods
    foods Review High Biological Value Compounds Extraction from Citrus Waste with Non-Conventional Methods Mayra Anticona, Jesus Blesa , Ana Frigola and Maria Jose Esteve * Nutrition and Food Chemistry, University of Valencia, Avda., Vicent Andrés Estellés, s/n., 46100 Burjassot, Spain; [email protected] (M.A.); [email protected] (J.B.); [email protected] (A.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-963544913 Received: 27 April 2020; Accepted: 15 June 2020; Published: 20 June 2020 Abstract: Citrus fruits are extensively grown and much consumed around the world. Eighteen percent of total citrus cultivars are destined for industrial processes, and as a consequence, large amounts of waste are generated. Citrus waste is a potential source of high biological value compounds, which can be used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries but whose final disposal may pose a problem due to economic and environmental factors. At the same time, the emerging need to reduce the environmental impact of citrus waste and its responsible management has increased. For these reasons, the study of the use of non-conventional methods to extract high biological value compounds such as carotenoids, polyphenols, essential oils, and pectins from this type of waste has become more urgent in recent years. In this review, the effectiveness of technologies such as ultrasound assisted extraction, microwave assisted extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, pressurized water extraction, pulsed electric field, high-voltage electric discharges, and high hydrostatic pressures is described and assessed. A wide range of information concerning the principal non-conventional methods employed to obtain high-biological-value compounds from citrus waste as well as the most influencing factors about each technology are considered.

Saonere Suryawanshi Department of Pharmacy, Government Polytechnic, Amravati (M.S. India), India. E-mail: [email protected] Accepted 22 February, 2011 Citrus aurantium (bitter orange) is a plant belonging to the family Rutaceae, The most important biologically active constituents of the C. aurantium fruits are phenethylamine alkaloids octopamine, synephrine, tyramine, N-methyltyramine and hordenine. It is rich in vitamin C, flavonoids and volatile oil. Synephrine is a primary synthesis compound with pharmacological activities such as vasoconstriction, elevation of blood pressure and relaxation of bronchial muscle. whose fruit extracts have been used for the treatment of various diseases such as gastrointestinal disorders, insomnia, head aches, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, antiseptic, anti-oxidant, antispasmodic, aromatic, astringent, carminative, digestive, sedative, stimulant, stomachic and tonic and by research novel use is found in obesity and related risks even life threatening are continuously increasing through out world in all age groups. Many marketed formulations claim to possess antiobesity actions, but still many herbs which have claims to this need to be investigated and their claims to be authenticated. In recent era there is a great thrust on screening of herbal extracts and formulations for antiobesity action. In this article efforts have been taken to discuss the photochemistry, constituents, ethnobotany, pharmacology safety and toxicity of citrus plant. The motto is to discuss C. aurantium here more research attention should be given on this that would increase its use in various chronic and acute diseases Key words: Bitter orange, synephrine, obesity, thermogenesis, ethnobotany.
