Citrus genesis is rich in a variety of flavonoids, which possess health beneficial property such as anti-oxidant,  attenuation of tumor growth, inhibition of inflammatory biomarkers, reduction of hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia etc.  In this presentation, we will focus on the discussion of the biological activities of citrus flavonoids including polyhydroxyl flavonoids, polymethoxyflavones and demethylated polymethoxyflavones, representing flavonoids from both citrus flesh and citrus peels.  As an example,  the illustration of  the anti-cancer activity of a mixed citrus peel, which contains large amount of citrus flavonoids will demonstrate the potential use of citrus as both foods and medicinal products.
