Tangeretin is an O-polymethoxylated flavone that is found in tangerine and other citrus peels. Tangeretin strengthens the cell wall and acts as a plant's defensive mechanism against disease-causing pathogens.^[2]

It has also been used as a marker compound to detect contamination in citrus juices.^[2]

The following is a list of methods used to extract tangeretin from citrus peels:

column chromatography
preparative-high performance liquid chromatography
super critical fluid chromatography
high speed counter current chromatography
a combination of vacuum flash silica gel chromatography and flash C₈ column chromatography
flash chromatography
isolation using ionic liquids and a cycle of centrifugation and decantation^[3]

The low solubility of Tangeretin is one of the main reasons for the low bioavailability of Tangeretin (and other flavonoids in general), and has been reported as a major challenge when using the compound in laboratory procedures.^[4] However, methods for tangeretin extraction are currently being tested to maximize efficiency and percent yields as its uses in treatment of cancer and other diseases are becoming better understood.^[2]

Tangeretin is commercially available as a dietary supplement. Tangeretin has also demonstrated beneficial applications in other pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic processes.^[4]

Tangeretin can be found as various synonyms throughout literature and research, including Tangeritin and 5,6,7,8,4’-pentamethoxyflavone (VIII)^[3]
