Peel browning disorder has an enormous impact on the exterior quality of 'Huangguan' pear whereas the underlying mechanism is still unclear. Although different methods have been applied for inhibiting the peel browning of 'Huangguan' pear, there are numerous issues associated with these approaches, such as time cost, efficacy, safety and stability. In this study, to develop a rapid, efficient a...

This study investigated the use of a pure copper seed layer to improve adhesion strength and reduce residual stress electroplated films for heterojunction technology in crystalline solar cells. The experiment involved depositing an indium tin oxide (ITO) on textured silicon using sputtering. resulted formation Cu(s)/ITO/Si structure. Following this step, 10 µm thick was onto Various characteriz...

The volatile secondary metabolites of essential oils from fruit peel and leaves of variegated pink-fleshed lemon (Citrus x limon) were investigated using GLC and GLC-MS (gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy). Altogether 141 compounds were identified and quantified, accounting for 99.59% and 96.33% of the total hydrodistilled peel and leaf oil, respectively. Limonene occurred in higher am...

(1) BACKGROUND: Many disorders and diseases of agricultural produce change the physical features of surfaces of plant organs; in terms of russet, e.g., of apple or pear, affected fruit peel becomes rough and brown in color, which is associated with changes in light reflection; (2) OBJECTIVE AND METHODS: The objective of the present project was an interdisciplinary approach between horticultural...

BACKGROUND The S-Caine peel (Zars, Inc., Salt Lake City, UT) is a novel eutectic lidocaine/tetracaine mixture that is applied as a cream, drying upon exposure to air to form a flexible film that can be peeled off easily. The patented formulation can be used to anesthetize the skin prior to a variety of cutaneous procedures. OBJECTIVE To examine the clinical efficacy of the S-Caine peel as a t...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Many plant polysaccharides exhibit hypoglycaemic effect. Though the fruit of Psidium guajava is known to contain free sugars, the fruit extract showed hypoglycaemic effect in alloxan treated mice and human subjects. The present study was aimed to determine the glycaemic potential of P. guajava fruit peel extract on blood glucose level (BGL) of normal and streptozotocinind...
