In the global scenario, citrus is widely cultivated fruit crop having strong phytochemical properties that contain volatile compounds produces essential oil or essence that used in different food, beverage and cosmetic industry. Assam lemon or Citrus limon Burm is unique in its characteristic aroma, flavor and taste and its uniqueness lies mainly in its bearing habits. In comparison with Assam Lemon, this study mainly focusing on the comparative analysis of physiochemical and bioactive properties of the raw juices of Citrus limon Burm and Citrus aurantifolia collected in the peak season of a year. Different behavior of Citrus limon Burm that contain higher amount of ascorbic acid and flavonoid content such as 55±0.1 mg/100g and 630±0.4 mg/ml in comparison with Citrus aurantifolia juice that has ascorbic acid 38±0.2 mg/100ml to flavonoid content 400±0.4mg/ml. It was also found that Citrus aurantifolia juice contains higher acidity as 8.5±0.3, total phenolic 700±0.3 mg/ml and 83±0.3% of antioxidant activity in comparison with Citrus limon Burm juice which shows 77±0.6 % of antioxidant activity. This study reveals that the changing bioactive properties in two different varieties of citrus juice mainly due to the genetic potential of individual polyphenol biosynthesis which shows the potential of storage and processing of raw juices maintaining consistency of volatile compound and commercialized without addition of alternate chemical additives.
