Evaluation of Physiochemical Properties, Thermal Behavior and Phytopharmaceutical Potential of Citrus aurantium’s Essential Oil. European Journal of Medicinal Plants. 2022 Jul; 33(7): 28-402231-0894http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/219497The study investigates the therapeutic potential of the Citrus aurantium var. amara essential oil extracted from the blossoms of the bitter orange plant by examining its chemical composition, thermal stability, and potency against infectious disease-causing pathogens. Initially, the volatile components of the essential oil were evaluated by obtaining a chromatographic fingerprint using HPTLC and FTIR spectrum identification. Furthermore, a thermal profile of the essential oil was obtained using the thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis and differential scanning calorimetric analysis. A predetermined set of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms were used to examine the antibacterial activity of the essential oil. Lastly, its anti-inflammatory activity was assessed using the albumin denaturation assay. The research concluded that the Citrus aurantium var. Amara essential oil exhibits potential therapeutic characteristics which can be further explored through in vivo studies.Antibacterialanti-inflammatoryantibiotic-resistancecitrus aurantium var. amaradifferential scanning calorimetryessential oilfourier-transform infrared spectrometryhigh-performance thin layer chromatographythermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis.Journal ArticleIndiaNational Facility for Biopharmaceuticals, Guru Nanak Khalsa College, Mumbai-400019, IndiaDepartment of Five Years Integrated Course in Bioanalytical Sciences, GNIRD, Guru Nanak Khalsa College, Matunga, Mumbai-19, IndiaDepartment of Biotechnology, St. Xavier's College Autonomous, Mumbai-400001, IndiaDepartment of Biotechnology, Guru Nanak Khalsa College, Mumbai-400019, India
