wampee
Clausena lansium
Clausena lansium, commonly known as wampee or Chinese orange, is a traditional plant native to Southeast Asia. While its use in traditional medicine has not been extensively documented, studies have explored its potential benefits and bioactive compounds. Research indicates that modified holocellulose nanofibrils from Clausena lansium may exhibit significant antibacterial properties, which could be useful for preserving wampee fruits. Additionally, metabolomics analysis revealed changes in anthocyanin, sugar, and organic acid profiles during fruit ripening, suggesting potential health benefits related to these compounds. Moreover, MLT (methyleugenol) treatment was found to enhance antioxidant capacity and improve cold tolerance in the plant. No major safety concerns or known drug interactions have been reported for Clausena lansium.

What the science says
- The study found that holocellulose nanofibrils modified with gentamicin sulfate showed significant antibacterial effects against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, potentially extending the shelf life of wampee fruits.
- The study identified changes in anthocyanin, sugar, and organic acid profiles during wampee fruit ripening, correlating gene expression with metabolite levels.
- MLT treatment improved antioxidant capacity and metabolic pathways in wampee, enhancing its cold tolerance.
- The study identified differential phenolic compounds in fruits and peels of three Clausena lansium varieties through metabolomics analysis.
- The study found that three delphinidin-based anthocyanins constitute ≥89.52% of total anthocyanins in purple wampee, with the Cl1978 gene positively correlating with their accumulation.
- The study synthesized clausenamide isomers and found that (-)-cis-clausenamide induced the most significant increase in cortical synaptogenesis.
