This study was conducted to find out the varieties that are highly industrially available through the evaluation of biological activity of 12 kinds of jeju native citrus fruits and to promote the value added of traditional citrus. The antioxidant effect of ethanol extracts of jeju native citrus was shown in order of C. leiocarpe > C. nippokoreana > C. aurantium > C. benikoji > C. sunki ≅ C. platymama ≅ C. junos ≅ C. tachibana ≅ C. grandis > C. tangerina > C. erythrosa > C. pseudogulgul . The antioxidant activity of the C. leiocarpe and the C. nippokoreana was the highest at 69 ∼74%, and the antioxidant activity of the C. aurantium and C. benikoji was about 50%, and the C. pseudogulgul, C. tangerina and C. erythrosa showed the lowest antioxidant activity at about 16∼19%. The whitening effect was relatively high in the C. leiocarpe, C. nippokoreana, C. benikoji, C. erythrosa and C. aurantium, and the wrinkle improvement effect was relatively high in the C. leiocarpe, C. aurantium and C. tangerina. In addition, anti-inflammatory activity was relatively high in C. nippokoreana, C. benikoji, C. tachibana. The results of this study suggest that the functional activities of the C. leiocarpe, C. nippokoreana, C. aurantium and C. benikoji in Jeju native citrus are higher than other varieties, which is considered to be highly industrially useful. In the future, more specific research on the industrial use of jeju native citrus is needed.
