Name: Lemon

Other Names: Citrus limon, Citrus limon Burm F, C limonium Risso, C limonia Osbeck, medica var limonium Brandis, limone, limón, limón agria, limón real, limón francés, limonen, citrónnier, citroen, limon France, limon amarillo, Citrus, Limon

Description: The lemon scientifically called as Citrus limon or Citrus limon Burm. F., it is the leading acid citrus fruit, because of its very appealing color, odor and flavor. The true home of the lemon is unknown, though some have linked it to northwestern India. Its synonyms are C. limonium Risso, C. limonia Osbeck, C. medica var. limonium Brandis, is known in Italy as limone; in most Spanish-speaking areas as limón, limón agria, limón real, or limón francés; in German as limonen; in French as citrónnier; in Dutch as citroen. In Haiti, it is limon France; in Puerto Rico, limon amarillo. In the Netherlands Antilles, lamoentsji, or lamunchi, are locally applied to the lime, not to the lemon as strangers suppose.

The lemon (Citrus × limon) is a hybrid in cultivated wild plants. It is the common name for the reproductive tissue surrounding the seed of the angiosperm lemon tree. The fruit is used primarily for its juice, though the pulp and rind (zest) are also used, primarily in cooking and baking. Lemon juice is about 5% acid, which gives lemons a tart taste, and a pH of 2 to 3. This makes lemon juice an inexpensive, readily available acid for use in educational science experiments.


Health benefits

Some sources state that lemons contain unique flavonoid compounds that have antioxidant and anti-cancer properties.[4] These may be able to deter cell growth in cancers. Limonins found in lemons could also be anti-carcinogens.

Because of its high Vitamin C content, lemon has been touted in alternative medicine as a tonic for the digestive system, immune system, and skin.[citation needed]There is a belief in Ayurvedic medicine that a cup of hot water with lemon juice in it tonifies and purifies the liver. In a Japanese study into the effects of aromatherapy, lemon essential oil in vapour form has been found to reduce stress in mice.
