PMFs are found in a variety of citrus fruits, with the most common form of the antioxidant found in the peels of tangerines and oranges.
The study found that the compounds showed promise as an effective, natural alternative for lowering LDL cholesterol.
The findings, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, also established that PMFs share striking similarities with a host of other plant compounds found in citrus and are linked to many health benefits.
Separate research has shown a positive relationship between similar flavonoids, such as hesperidin, found in oranges, and naringin from grapefruit.
