The phytochemical properties of a new citrus hybrid (Citrus hystrix × Citrus microcarpa) [PDF]
The Merdeka lime is a new citrus hybrid with strong resistance against pests and disease. This work aims to provide information about the total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid (TF) content and antioxidant potential of the leaves, peel and pulp of this new hybrid along with those of its parent plants (Citrus hystrix and C. microcarpa).
