the effect of different juice extraction treatments on the qualitative properties of lime juice was investigated. samples were selected from jahromi lime variety and lime juice extracted by means of a screw type juice extraction device. the mechanical parameters of the helical juice extractor [screw velocity (270, 360 and 450 rpm), outlet pressure (minimum, medium vs. maximum)] and lime pretrea...

This is the designation given b}7 Surgeon-Major R. Davis to a disease that he has found prevalent amongst the prisoners in the Rangoon Central Jail. The name is not meant to imply that the disease is caused by the eating of potatoes. On the contra"/ it applies to a peculiar form of scurvy that is amenable to the action of potatoes, "whereas it proves intractable to the influence of other antisc...

Liming of diffusers with milk of lime is warranted from a corrosion point of view. It can however cause both physical and chemical problems. The use of calcium saccharate, prepared from lime and mixed juice, as an alternative to milk of lime is suggested and the results from preliminary tests are discussed. The main objective is to investigate whether calcium saccharate could overcome some of t...

Background & objectives: Citrus lemon and lime juice, which contain high levels of vitamin C and natural antioxidant in the form of polyphenols, have a special place in the food basket of Iranian households. Flavonoids are among the polyphenolic compounds and Eriocitrin, Naringin and Hesperidin are among the most important flavonoids. Investigating the amount and type of polyphenols and flavono...

The effect of infrared radiation (IR) on the physicochemical characteristics, pectin methylesterase activity (PME), hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) content, microbiological activity, color, and sensory aspects black lime juice was studied. IR compared to conventional thermal heating (CTH) in batch extraction pasteurizer, designed allow both heating. resulted a reduction pH Brix values mild increase...

The search for new antimicrobial compounds is ongoing. Its importance cannot be overemphasized in an era of emerging resistant pathogenic organisms. This study therefore investigated the phytochemical composition and antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of different citrus juice concentrates. Fruit juices of Citrus tangerine (tangerine), Citrus paradisi (grape), Citrus limon (lemon), and Ci...

Organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2) plays an important role in the renal clearance of endogenous and exogenous organic cations, including drugs and their metabolites. Citrus fruit juice interactions with the P-gp efflux transporter are well-established, but there is to date no study on the effects of citrus fruit juice on OCT2 function and expression. This paper evaluates the modulating activit...

Spent lime is a by-product of the sugar beet sugar purification process. It is generated by heating mined calcium carbon limestone to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. These two products are injected into the thick juice (from the sugar beet processing) and reforms calcium carbonate. When the calcium carbonate reforms it captures or adsorbs many of the impurities in the juice and precipita...

Consumption of Moringa oleifera leaves is a local and inexpensive solution to iron and zinc deficiencies in the Far-north region of Cameroon. However, traditional household's cooking techniques result in sauces with high pH levels and low leaves incorporation rates that compromise the bioavailability of iron and zinc. The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of modifying a standard Mo...
