Citrus australasica
Citron citronné d'origine australienne avec des vésicules caviar-like, utilisé par les Aborigens pour ses propriétés antimicrobiennes et nutritionnelles.
Finger lime (Citrus australasica) is a native Australian citrus fruit traditionally used by Aboriginal peoples for its antimicrobial and nutritional properties. It contains high levels of vitamin C, folate, and antioxidant flavonoids, with limonene as a key volatile compound. Modern research supports its use as a rich source of antioxidants and for potential antimicrobial and skin health benefits.
The primary mechanisms include antioxidant activity via scavenging free radicals and upregulating endogenous antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and catalase. Limonene and flavonoids inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathways, reducing inflammation. Antimicrobial effects are attributed to disruption of bacterial cell membranes by limonene and other terpenes. Vitamin C supports collagen synthesis and immune function.
