オレンジフラワーにまつわる話
オレンジフラワーは開花前のオレンジの花のつぼみを乾燥させたもので、風味の良い香りとわずかな苦みを持ちます。新鮮なオレンジフラワーを蒸留して得た精油はネロリと呼ばれ、アロマテラピーや天然香料の分野で重要な位置を占めています。ネロリは17世紀イタリアで「ネーロラの公妃」と呼ばれていたマリー・アンヌが愛用していたために名付けられたといわれています。また蒸留の際に生成する芳香蒸留水は化粧品原料としても用いられます。オレンジの花と葉はいずれも苦味フラボノイド配糖体のネオヘスぺリジンやナリンギンなどを含みますが、その含有量は葉よりも花の方が圧倒的に多いため、フラボノイド成分を摂取するには葉よりも花を用いることが大切です。

Anecdote regarding Orange FLower
Orange flower is a dried bud of orange flower before blooming and has a fragrant aroma and a slight bitterness. The essential oil obtained by distilling fresh orange flower is called neroli, and it has an important position in the fields of aromatherapy and natural fragrance. Neroli is said to have been named because Marie Anne, who was called the "princess of Nerora" in 17th century Italy, used it habitually. Aromatic distilled water generated during distillation is also used as a ingredient for cosmetic products. Both orange flowers and leaves contain bitter flavonoid glycosides such as neohesperidin and naringin, but the concentration of those compounds are overwhelmingly higher in flowers than that of leaves. So, It is more important to use flowers than leaves when trying to extracting flavonoid components.
