 Part of Plant Used:Grapefruit.
 Grapefruit got its name from the way it grew in "grape-like" clusters on the tree. Originally it wasn't very desirable with its thick skin, lots of seeds, little juice, and a very sour taste. Growers dramatically improved the flavor and texture so that now you have a fruit that is seedless, with a taste that is both tangy and sweet.

 Definition:(organic chemistry) C27H32O14 A crystalline bioflavonoid with a melting point of 171 Deg C; soluble in acetone and alcohol; used as a food supplement. Also known as aurantiin.

 Naringin is the major flavonoid glycoside in grapefruit and gives grapefruit juice its bitter taste. It is metabolized to the flavonone naringenin in humans. Both naringin and hesperetin, which are the aglycones of naringin and hesperidin, occur naturally in citrus fruits.

 Activity:Narinigin exerts a variety of pharmacological effects such as antioxidant activity, blood lipid-lowering, anticarcinogenic activity, and inhibition of selected cytochrome P450 enzymes including CYP3A4 and CYP1A2, which may result in several drug interactions in-vitro.
