In this study peroxidase was isolated from peels of Citrus reticulata var. Kinnow and partially purified using ammonium sulphate precipitation method. Kinetic and thermal characterization of the partially purified enzyme was explored. The optimum pH and temperature were found to be 6 and 55 C respectively. The Km and Vmax values for guaiacol as substrate were found out to be 0.66 mM and 380 μmo...

Vitamin C is a vital circulating antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties that are required for good health throughout the life cycle. The coronavirus disease (SARSCov-2) pandemic now being done; every doctor has suggested consuming vitamin as dietary supplement. Besides an extensive range of significances, we want to focus vit C-rich natural resources despite costly dr...

Host plant resistance to the Diaprepes root weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.) was assessed for seedlings of 54 Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf. selections and two families of progeny from crosses between Citrus and P. trifoliata. Weight gain was consistently lower when larvae were reared in pots containing the progeny of Citrus reticulata Blanco 'Sunki' x P. trifoliata 'Flying Dragon' compared wi...

Oil-resin fractions from Copaifera reticulata Ducke (Leguminosae-Caesalpinoideae) were evaluated for larvicidal activity on third larval instars of Aedes aegypti, in searching for alternative control methods for this mosquito. The bioactive fractions were chemically monitored by thinlayer chromatography, H and C nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry. Bioassays were performed using fi...

The increased incidence of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Brazil is due to a lack of effective disease control measures. In addition to that, no effective treatment exists for canine VL in response to synthetic drugs. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the essential oils of Coriandrum sativum and Lippia sidoides, and oleoresin from Copaifera reticulata, on Leishmani...

Fruit juices of four species of Citrus genus i.e. C. maxima, C. limon, C. sinensis, C. reticulata were analyzed for their nutritional content (i.e. soluble sugar, total RNA & pentose sugar, free amino acids, soluble protein, total phenolic compounds and vitamin-C) and antioxidant potential. The content of all studied parameters varied from one species to another but no specific trend was observ...

the production of reactive oxygen species (ros) in plants under low temperature stress cause damage to plants. in order to evaluate of antioxidant responses of page mandarin young trees (two years old) on different rootstocks under low temperatures, an experiment was conducted in a factorial plan based on completely randomized design. treatment of temperatures were at seven levels include 9, 6,...
