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...

Dragon fruit peel can be utilized as a natural dye due to betacyanin content, redviolet pigment of betalain group. Betacyanin is unstable to temperature, oxygen, and light, consequently microencapsulation technology is required to maintain its stability. This study aims to determine microencapsulation efficiency of dragon fruit peel extract with variation of encapsulation ratio and to perceive ...

Mangosteen peel is an inedible portion of a fruit. We are interested in using these residues as components of a dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC). Carbonized mangosteen peel was used with mangosteen peel dye as a natural counter electrode and a natural photosensitizer, respectively. A distinctive mesoporous honeycomb-like carbon structure with a rough nanoscale surface was found in carbonized ma...

Studies have shown that oxygenated compounds and TSS are important in food products. It seems that cultivars have a profound influence on these factors. The goal of the present study is to investigate on flavor components and juice quality parameters of two mandarin cultivars. In the last week of January 2012, at least 10 mature fruit were collected and their peel oil was extracted using cold-p...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND A systematic mapping of the phytochemical composition of different sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) fruit subspecies is still lacking. No data relating to the fatty acid composition of main lipid fractions from the berries of ssp. carpatica (Romania) have been previously reported. RESULTS The fatty acid composition of the total lipids (oils) and the major lipid...

Aim: To evaluate the anti-bacterial potential of pomegranate against Salmonella typhi. Methodology: Ethanolic extracts of pomegranate's different parts; peel, pericarp and fruit were screened for anti-bacterial activity against Multi-Drug Resistance (MDR) strain (UHS-14) by agar well diffusion method. 6% phenol was used as positive control. Results: The peel extract had the largest inhibitory z...

The effect of some natural wastes (orange pomace, orange peel, lemon pomace, lemon peel, apple pomace, pear peel, banana peel, melon peel and hazelnut shell) on the production of xylanase from Trichoderma harzianum 1073 D3 has been studied and maximum activity has been observed on melon peel (26.5 U/mg of protein) followed by apple pomace and hazelnut shell. Also, molasses could be used as an a...

The peel of pummelo accounts for approximately 30% fruit weight. Pummelo which has been considered as a by-product is rich in various nutrients and functional compounds, while most the disposed wastes. utilization peels could not only result valued-added products/ingredients, but also reduce environmental threats. Essential oil, polyphenols pectin were recovered from by many ways. By mainly rev...

A tape peeling model based on the geometry of the peel zone (PZ) is derived to predict the peeling behavior of adhesive tapes at peel angles less than or equal to 90o. The PZ model adds an angle-dependent multiplier to the ‘Kendall equation’ that takes into account the geometrical changes within the peel zone. The model is compared to experimental measurements of the peel force at different ang...
