The grapefruit tree (Citrus paradisi Macfad.) , called grapefruit or grapefruit, is a tree in the Rutaceae family, the same family as oranges, lemons and tangerines. This is a hybrid, which probably occurred spontaneously between Chinese grapefruit (Citrus x maxima) and sweet orange (Citrus × sinensis) in plantations in the Caribbean Sea around the 17th century. It is currently cultivated in tropical climates, with the United States being the largest grapefruit producer in the world (Florida). The grapefruit has few seeds, 1 cm long, smooth and white inside, with a high amount of active ingredients interesting for
our health.
In 1980, in a small town in Florida, Dr. Jakob Harich (1919 — 1996), a gardening enthusiast, observed that the grapefruit seeds found in his compost would not rot. Out of curiosity, the doctor, a renowned physicist and immunologist, decided to analyze the strange phenomenon more closely and discovered that the components of this simple seed prevented compost from rotting. It was starting in 1972 that Dr. Harich began his investigations. He sought the support of Dr. Steven Otwell and Dr. Wayne Marshall, leading researchers on the effects of microorganisms on food, based at the University of Florida, Gainesville. They discovered that grapefruit seed extract not only acted on bacteria, but also on other microorganisms such as viruses, yeasts, fungi and parasites
.
Finally, in 1990, grapefruit seed extract began to be obtained to be applied to different uses.
