Study and selection of suitable citrus cultivars for extraction of hesperidin This study was established to find out high content citrus cultivars or hybrids which can be used for extraction of hesperidin- a bioflavonoid which is applied in pharmaceutical industry as a primary substance. 20 cultivars and tangors from Ramsar research station (ICRI) were evaluated during 2001-2002. The study designed based on a one way comparison test with three replications for each treatment (tree). Sampling was carried out about 60 days after full bloom. Some data including fruit diameter, peel thickness and fruit weight were recorded. The cut fruits were dried at 55°C in oven and ground to fine powder. Hesperidin content was measured by using HPLC analysis after extraction with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and Methanol (3:1). Results showed that some cultivars and tongors had high hesprridin content more than those of commercially are used for hesperidin production in producer countries. Hesperidin content of tangor 3119 was higher than Nova mandarin in two-year trial. (Nova mandarin is commercially used for production of hesperidin).
