Kalamansi contains a large quantity of DGPP (3’,5’-di-C-β-glucopyranosylphloretin) along with vicenin-2, naringin, neohesperidin, hesperidin, nobiletin, tangeretin, and diosmin.
A study showed the anti-oxidant activity by DPPH scavenging activity. Also, another study reported the bioactivities of water extract of immature kalamansi, which were anti-oxidant, tyrosinase inhibitory, and anti-microbial activities.
