3 varieties of Moro Tarocco and Sanguinello Orange
May 02, 2025
"Extracts from three blood orange varieties—Moro, Sanguinello, and Tarocco—known as unique varieties found in the Mediterranean region near the volcano in Sicily, Italy." The flesh of these oranges is blood-colored, and the fruit is similar in size to regular oranges. They contain anthocyanins, which give them their red color, with chrysanthemin (cyanidin 3-O-glucoside) being the main compound found in red oranges. The reddish-brown color develops during the fruit's maturation, specifically on nights with low temperatures. Sometimes, the peel also turns a deep red, depending on the variety. The skin may also be thicker than other oranges. Tarocco, Moro, and Sanguinello oranges are cultivated exclusively in the eastern part of Italy. This region boasts an excellent climate, which contributes to the high quality of the fruit. Consequently, blood oranges from this area are exceptionally rich in Anthocyanins (primarily represented by Cyanidin-3-glucoside and Cyanidin-3-6”-malonyl-glucoside), Flavanone glycosides (hesperidin, narirutin, and didymin), and Hydroxycinnamic acids. These bioactive compounds are powerful antioxidants that help protect the skin from sun exposure. They also work to brighten and even out skin tone in a short amount of time, as well as combat skin inflammation and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots. These benefits stem from their antioxidant power, which is up to 9 times greater than that of regular oranges. เปรียบเทียบปริมาณ สารสำคัญระหว่างส้มสีเลือด กับส้มทั่วไป
