Abstract The adsorption potential of raw pomegranate peel powder (PMPP) for lead (Pb) ions was investigated via batch mode at varying initial adsorbate concentration, contact time, and adsorbent concentration. PMPP extensively characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy-dispersion (EDX), thermogravimetry...

Roughing disorder (RD) is a significant quality barrier in citrus fruit, prevalent on easy-peeling mandarins. As RD is not yet well-understood, this study aimed to examine the changes and synergic molecular processes involved in peel RD. Peel with RD was induced by severely defruiting Satsuma mandarin trees. Morphology observations, RNA-sequencing, and targeted and untargeted metabolic analyses...

This study identified major phenolic compounds of the tucum-do-cerrado (Bactris setosa) peel, as well as antioxidant activity and total phytochemical compound concentration of different extracts of the peel and pulp of this fruit. Phenolic compounds of the different extracts of tucum-do-cerrado peel were identified and quantified using a high-performance liquid chromatography system coupled to ...

The antioxidant and antiproliferative properties of flesh and peel of mango (Mangifera indica L.) were investigated. The cytoprotective effect of mango flesh and peel extracts on oxidative damage induced by H2O2 in a human hepatoma cell line, HepG2, were determined, and the underlying mechanism was examined by a single-cell electrophoresis assay (comet assay). Treatment of HepG2 cell with mango...

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) were used to determine the aromatic composition and aroma active compounds of fruit juice and peel oil of Jinchen sweet orange fruit. Totals of 49 and 32 compounds were identified in fruit juice and peel oil, respectively. GC-O was performed to study the aromatic profile of Jinchen fruit juice and peel oil. ...

The strict environmental regulations to overcome the drawbacks of consumption and disposal non-renewable synthetic materials have motivated this investigation. physical, chemical, morphological, thermal properties Hylocereus Polyrhizus peel (HPP) powder obtained from raw were examined in study. physical analyzes discovered that moisture content, density, water holding capacity 9.70%, 0.45 g/cm3...

Majority of the cosmetic products available in market are synthetic origin and causes numerous side effects when used for longer period time. One solutions this problem is use herbal cosmetics. Herbal cosmetics considered safe routine with minimal effects. Acne, redness, wrinkles, dark circles, pimples, dry dead skin some major issues. All these problems can be minimized by using such as face p...

Abstract Utilization of betel nut peel waste and sugarcane fiber has not been maximized so that the purpose this study was to determine characteristics mechanical properties, tensile strength bending polyethylene matrix composite with powder filler. In study, variation ratio volume used is: (0%: 10%), (10%: 0%), (5%: 5%). The fibers previously were modified 2% NaOH treatment for each fiber. res...

Varying the strength of the croton oil in a phenol peel solution can customize the peel to suit the needs of each patient and address delicate areas, such as the eyelids and the neck. Here the author presents important refinements in phenol-croton oil peel application.

Drying procedures employed for potato peels (both raw and boiled) may adversely affect the useful bioactivecomponents present in them. This study envisaged identification of a feasible drying procedure handlingbulk peel waste maximising retention phytochemicals powder. The total phenols (TP), flavonoids (TF) antioxidant capacity (TAC) were assessed three commercial one newly developed anthocyan...
