Citrus maxima peel is rich in natural phenolic compounds and has a long use in the traditional medicine. HPLC-DAD analysis on Citrus maxima peel powder exhibited the presence of various phenolic compounds such as caffeic acid and (-)-epicatechin. To determine the plausible hepatoprotective activity of Citrus maxima peel powder, we used carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) treated rat model. Liver damage...

The relationship between ethylene and peel a-farnesene concentrations was examined by applying diphenylamine (DPA) and the ethylene analogue, propylene at varying times after harvest to superficial scald (scald) susceptible ‘Granny Smith’ apples (Malus domestica Borkh.) stored at 10°C. Delaying DPA application after harvest had no large effect on ethylene or on peel a-farnesene production. Prop...

Citrus aurantium peel and juice aroma compounds were investigated by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), whereas phenolic compounds analysis was performed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Limonene was the major volatile compound of bitter orange peel (90.25%) and juice (91.61%). HPLC analysis of bitter orange peel and juic...

Diabetes mellitus is a major public health problem worldwide. The overall prevalence of DM in adults in Saudi Arabia is 23.7%. But, according to recent reports people living in Saudi Arabia could face a lifetime risk as high as 60 per cent of developing diabetes. Diabetes mellitus causes serious complications in many body systems. Diabetic nephropathy is one of the most debilitating complicatio...

The aim of present study was to appraise the antioxidant activity and phenolic contents in peel and pulp parts from two locally harvested verities of pear. The extraction yield of antioxidant components obtained with 80% methanol (80:20 methanol-water v/v) was found to be 14.30-17.50% for peel and 11.50-13.00 g/100 g for pulp on dry weight basis. The total phenolic contents and total flavoniod ...

BACKGROUND The 7% lidocaine and 7% tetracaine (LT) peel is a self-occlusive, topical local anesthetic that has been proven safe and effective for use in conjunction with many dermatologic procedures, including cryotherapy, collagen injections, and various laser treatments. The product is applied directly to the skin as a cream that dries within 20 to 30 minutes of air exposure to form a flexibl...

Orange peel and pulp were analyzed for their proximate composition, water and oil holding capacity. Data showed that, orange peel and pulp had high amount of dietary fiber (74.87 and 70.64%, respectively) with high proportion of IDF, also it has high level of water and oil holding capacity. Biscuits prepared from blendes containing different proportion (0,5,15 and 25%) orange peel or pulp were ...

Adhesives that involve adhesion to the skin have been of great technological importance inmedical or pharmaceutical fields, including recently emergingwearable sensors and electronics. The objective of this workwas to evaluate the performances of silicone-based adhesives with skin, using a peel adhesion test. Specifically, we explored the effect of adhesive cleansing, which is an inevitable dai...

Variations of phenolics, antioxidant activity, and mineral contents in peel and pulp of five apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) cultivars from Pakistan, namely Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Kashmiri Amri, Kala Kulu and Sky Spur were appraised. The mean extract yield of antioxidant components obtained with 80:20 methanol-water (v/v), was found to be 22.1 g/100 g for peel and 14.2 g/100 g for pulp...
