The effects of rootstock on the volatile flavour components of page mandarin juice and peel were investigated in this study. Juice flavour components were extracted by using Poly dimethyl silaxane  membranes( PDMS ) and eluted by pentane dichloromethane and then analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. Peel flavour compone...

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 the ...

Six MaMADS-box genes have been cloned from the banana fruit cultivar Grand Nain. The similarity of these genes to tomato LeRIN is low and neither MaMADS2 nor MaMADS1 complement the tomato rin mutation. Nevertheless, the expression patterns, specifically in fruit and the induction during ripening and in response to ethylene and 1-MCP, suggest that some of these genes may participate in ripening....

A new HPTLC method has been developed for the identification and quantification of ursolic acid in apple peel extract. Ursolic acid can be easily estimated after derivatization with Liebermann TABLE 1: RECOVERY STUDY OF URSOLIC ACID FROM MALUS DOMESTICA PEEL Amount spotted (μg) Peak area (AU) Amount detected (μg) RSD (%) Accuracy (%) 0.91 4098.7 0.91 1.12 100.9 1.14 4677.5 1.13 1.48 99.6 1.36 5...

A prestressing procedure for reduction of adhesive peel and shear stresses at the leading edge of a skin–flange assembly is analyzed for tensile and bending loads applied to the skin. Both an analytical solution based on the Green’s functions and a finite element solution are presented for specific examples, together with design diagrams. Substantial shear and peel stress reductions are obtaine...

This study was carried out to determine the effects of supplementing different levels (0, 0.5 and 1% of buffered rumen fluid) of methanolic extract of pomegranate peel, on rumen fermentation kinetics of four oil seed meals (soybean meal, cotton seed meal, rapeseed meal and sunflower seed meal), using in vitro gas production technique. The samples were incubated in syringes containing rumen liqu...

Ageing in Place, which is also referred to as Ageing at Home (Callahan 1993; Andrews et al. 2007; Rojo-Pérez et al. 2001), living with autonomy and independence, is an expression which accurately summarises healthy (Bartlett and Peel 2005), active (World Health Organization 2002) and/or successful ageing (Rowe and Kahn 1997) of the population. These concepts require a broad definition and are f...

This study aimed to compare the antioxidant content and antioxidant capacity of pulp and peel of two varieties of pomelo fruit (Tambun White and Tambun Pink). Antioxidants including total phenolic content, total flavonoid content and ascorbic acid content were determined using Folin-Ciocalteu reagent assay, aluminium chloride colorimetric assay and AOAC method, respectively. Antioxidant capacit...

Activated carbon is an amorphous carbon chain which has extremely extended surface area. High surface area of activated carbon is due to the porous structure. Activated carbon, using a variety of materials such as coal and cellulosic materials; can be obtained by both physical and chemical methods. The prepared activated carbon can be used for decolorize, deodorize and also can be used for remo...
