Green chemistry methods for production of nanoparticles have many advantages, such as ease of use, which makes the methods desirable and economically viable. The aim of the present work was to green synthesise silver nanoparticles (SNPs) using aqueous tangerine peel extract in different ratios (2:1, 1:1, 1:2). The formed SNPs were characterised using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotomet...

The orange peel extract (OE) is an additive material that has been used widely as a natural antioxidant source and bioactive compounds in Pharmaceutical food sector. poor stability degradation of this were considered problems the industry. New technologies have introduced recently to prevent encapsulation.
 In work, chitosan (CS) Prunus avium gum (PG) proposed promising based materials for...

The volatile compounds from Maclura pomifera (Osage orange fruit) peel have been studied by GC-FID and GC–MS. Volatiles fraction proportion was estimated to 60 mg/kg. Identified compounds consist on aliphatics (52.6%), monoterpenes along with sesquiterpenes (27.3%), phenylpropane derivatives along with related compounds (10.0%) and other compounds (10.6%). Among the 60 identified compounds, 1-h...

The present work was carried out with an aim to isolate an Exo-pectinase producing fungal strain, to optimize physical factors of the enzyme activity and to formulate a media for the cost effective production of the enzyme. Screening, isolation and identification of Aspergillus tamarii and Aspergillus carbonarius were done. Various process variables like pH, temperature and incubation time of t...
