a number of researches have been performed in the field of elemental analysis of fruitsfrom different areas of iran and there is a vast unstudied area in this field. in this study, seven mineral elements such as na, k, ca, mg, fe, zn and cu in the tree soil, citrus limunum juice of gorgan and iranshahr gardens and citrus limetta juice of gorgan and bandarabas gardens were determined by flame ph...

Modified Citrus Pectin Introduction Modified citrus pectin (MCP), also known as fractionated pectin, is a complex polysaccharide obtained from the peel and pulp of citrus fruits. Modified citrus pectin is rich in galactoside residues, giving it an affinity for certain types of cancer cells. Metastasis is one of the most life-threatening aspects of cancer and the lack of effective anti-metastati...

colletotrichum species are associated with citrus plants as pathogens, saprobes and endophytes. according to the most recent multigene phylogenetic analysis, a lot of changes were happened in the taxonomy and species delimitation in the genus colletotrichum. in this investigation, 292 colletotrichum isolates were obtained from leaves, fruits and stems of citrus species at golestan, mazandaran, ...

Carotenoids are the main pigments responsible for the attractive color of the peel and pulp of citrus fruits and greatly contribute to their nutritional and antioxidant value. Fruits of different Citrus species display a broad array of color singularities and in many cultivars the peel and the pulp also exhibit different color, envisaging specieand tissuespecific regulation of the carotenoid co...

Allergy to citrus fruits is often associated with pollinosis and sensitization to other plants due to a phenomenon of cross-reactivity. The aims of the present study were to highlight the cross-reactivity among citrus and the major allergenic pollens/fruits, throughout clinical and molecular investigations, and to evaluate the sensitization frequency to citrus fruits in a population of children...

Export of Citrus spp. fruits may require risk mitigation measures if grown in areas with established tephritid fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) populations capable of infesting the fruits. The host status of Citrus spp. fruits is unclear for two tephritid fruit fly species whose geographic ranges have expanded in recent years: melon fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae (Cocquillett), and Bactrocera latif...
