Lowers blood cholesterol level
Citrus peel can be an alternative to standard drugs blood cholesterol lowering drugs. Though citrus peel may not be very appetising, research suggests it could be very good for you. US scientists fattened up hamsters on a high-cholesterol diet, and then fed them compounds found in tangerine and orange peel.
The compounds, known as polymethoxylated flavones (PMFs), are antioxidants that belong to a group of plant chemicals called flavonoids. Flavonoids exist in a variety of fruits and vegetables, as well as tea and red wine.
They found the compounds significantly lowered the animals’ levels of LDL cholesterol - which is associated with heart disease. Lowering cholesterol is a well-accepted means of reducing the likelihood of heart disease. The study was published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry and the expert believe that super-flavonoids have the potential to rival or even beat the cholesterol-lowering effect of some prescription drugs.
The study’s lead researcher Dr Elzbieta Kurowska, of the Canadian company KGK Synergize, said citrus juice contains PMFs. Peel, on the other hand, contains 20 times the level.
