Background and Objectives: The chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of bitter orange (Citrus aurantium) leaf, ripe and unripe peel essential oils, cultivated in southwest of Iran, were investigated. Materials and Methods: The analysis of chemical composition of hydro-distilled essential oils was carried out by GC-MS. The disc diffusion and broth micro-dilution were used to assay t...

dicated that the developed flavor descriptive analysis procedure can be used either in Spain or USA with similar outcomes. Orange juices prepared using similar processes in both countries had comparable flavor characteristics. Thus, hand-squeezed orange juices were described with citrus fruits, green and floral attributes. Pasteurized products were also described as citrusy, green and sweet fru...

Activities Objective 1. Evaluate methods of sampling and measuring flavor and nutrition of fresh-cut products to facilitate comparison to traditional shelf life factors.  Barrett and Negre and other colleagues completed work on aroma volatiles and flavor quality in melons. See Vallone et al., 2013 publication.  Cantwell and associates are studying the relationship between ammonia concentratio...

The elderly experience numerous physiological alterations. In the brain, aging causes degeneration or loss of distinct populations neurons, resulting in declining cognitive function, locomotor capability, etc. pathogenic factors such neurodegeneration are oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, reduced energy homeostatis, decreased levels neurotrophic factor, On other hand, s...

the field experiment was conducted to study the effect of soil moisture tension and potassium on growth and quantitative and qualitative characteristics of thomson navel orange on citrumelo rootstock in kotra citrus research station in ten years (1998-2009). the experiment was designed for four replications in randomized complete blocks with factorial treatment structure. the factors consisted ...

Antibacterial and antifungal properties of wax and hexane extracts of Citrus spp. peels were tested using bioautographic and microdilution techniques against three plant pathogenic fungi (Penicillium digitatum, Curvularia sp., and Colletotrichum sp.), two human pathogens (Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum canis), and two opportunistic bacteria (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aure...

In a previous paper (1), the authors have shown that the fumigation of citrus trees with hydrocyanic acid (HCN) for pest control, at a time of the year when the fruit buds are in a certain stage of development, produced ridges and sectors in the outer portion of the peel (flavedo) of the fruit. In the navel orange, Valencia orange and grapefruit varieties, fumigation of trees in February produc...
