Present study has been under taken to evaluate the nutraceutical significance of bioflavonoid naringin, from pummelo fruit peel. Bioflavonoids were selectively extracted from the pummelo fruit peel meal without any interference of pectin using aqueous ethanol as solvent. Significant naringin content of 0.440.02g/100g of peel was found in fruit peel meal. For selective fractionation and concent...

The oranges were purchased from the local market of Bela. The orange peel and pulp were subjected to successive extraction with solvents in increasing order of their polarity viz. Acetone, hexane, methanol and distilled water. Orange peel and pulp powder was extracted separately by aqueous extraction. The phenolic content of these samples were studied according to the method described by Folin ...

Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) fruit peel, the main byproduct during the manufacture of tea seed oil, was used as raw material for the recovery of phenolic antioxidants. The effect of ethanol concentration, extraction time, and extraction temperature on total phenolic content (TPC) and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of the extracts from tea fruit peel was investigated. The maximum predict...

BACKGROUND We studied the antioxidant effects of fresh juice and peel extract of Citrus aurantifolia (Christm). METHODS Low density lipoprotein (LDL) was separated from one hypercholesterolemic human serum by modified Bronzert and Brewer procedure. Oxidation of LDL was measured at 234 nm against 0, 5, 10, 20, 25, 30 and 40 μl of fresh lime juice and 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 μl of peel polyphenolic...

onion (allium cepa) bulb from liliaceae has antioxidant, spasmolytic and antihypertensive activities. the aim of present study was to investigate the antispasmodic effect of onion peel on rat ileum contractility. onion peel powder was extracted by maceration in 70% alcohol for 72 h. a terminal portion of ileum from male wistar rat was dissected and its contractions were recorded isotonically in...

This study aimed to investigate the biochemical compounds of five different apple cultivars (Amasya, Braeburn, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, and Starking) grown in same location reveal differences between peel pulp fresh, oven-dried, sun-dried samples. Sugar organic acid contents were analyzed through high-performance liquid chromatography. Besides, antioxidant activity, total flavonoid, phen...

This expository article reviews the game-theoretic framework for probability and the method of defensive forecasting that derives from it. The game-theoretic framework, introduced by Vladimir Vovk and myself in Probability and Finance: It’s Only a Game! (Wiley 2001 [51]), can replace measure theory as a mathematical framework for classical probability theory, discrete and continuous. Classical ...

Production of intracellular β-xylosidase was studied in cultures of Penicillium janthinellum grown on citrus fruit waste supplemented cultivation media. Both dried orange peel and sweet lime peel could induce the production of this enzyme. The working strain showed a pronounced optimum pH and temperature for β-xylosidase production at 6.0 and 27 °C, respectively. The enzyme production was found...

This paper presents the quantification, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin and the flavonoid chrysoeriol isolated from different extracts (hexane and acetonitrile extracts from whole fruit, peel and seed) of Capsicum frutescens (pimenta malagueta). The acetonitrile extract of the seeds, peel and whole fruits contained capsaicin as a major component, followed i...
