Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc.), Hallabong [(C. Marc. × C. sinensis Osb.)×(C. reticulata Blanco)], Cheonhyehyang [((C. unshiu×C. sinensis)×C. reticulata)×(C. reticulate×C. sinensis)], and Redhyang (citrus hybrid 'Kanpei), which are citrus hybrids, mostly consumed in Korea. The flavor of peel depends on the composition content volatile essential oils. Limonene, ?-terpinene, ?-myrcene, lin...

The includes three species of Azolla (A. andreisii sp. nov., A. coloniensis, and 1), two Azollopsis intermedia tomentosa), Crybelosporites pannuceus, Gabonisporis cristata, Ghoshispora sp., Grapnelispora loncochensis, Molaspora (M. lobata M. reticulata), Paleoazolla pata...

BACKGROUND Mosquitoes transmit serious human diseases, causing millions of death every year. Vector control is facing a threat due to the emergence of resistance to synthetic insecticides. Insecticides of botanical origin may serve as suitable alternative biocontrol techniques in the future. Nine different locally available medicinally important plants suspected to posse larvicidal property wer...

The present study investigates the HPLC profiling of phenolic compounds, and antioxidant activities of Annona reticulata. Through HPLC assay, high levels of rutin hydrate (603.88 mg/100 g extract) and moderate amount of catechin, epicatechin, and p-coumeric acid were determined (99.00, 78.19, 85.38 mg/100 g extract, respectively). Some amount of vanillic acid, ellagic acid, and quercetin were a...

Citrus reticulata Blanco belongs to the family Rutaceae. It is commonly known as Narangi or Santra. Peel is the outer part of the pericarp of the ripe or nearly ripe fruits of Citrus reticulata Blanco. The present study deals with the pharmacognostic and phytochemical evaluation of Citrus reticulata Blanco peel. This study includes the macroscopic and microscopic analysis, physicochemical evalu...

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...
