The objective of the present work is extraction of pectin from waste of orange fruit peel and further characterization for useful alternative pharmaceutical excipient. The pectin was subjected to phytochemical and physicochemical characterization of its safety and suitability to use as binding and suspending agent. FT-IR spectroscopy, DSC studies were performed for drug, orange peel pectin powd...

introduction: pulsed dye laser (pdl) has been used to treat acne lesions and scar erythema by interrupting superficial vasculature. salicylic acid chemical peels are employed chiefly due to their lipophilic, comedolytic, and anti-inflammatory properties. although studies have looked at peels and laser therapy independently in acne management, we examined these treatments in combination. our pri...

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...
