BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Citrus flavonoids have a variety of physiological properties such as anti-oxidant, anti-inflammation, anti-cancer, and anti-obesity. We investigated whether bioconversion of Citrus unshiu with cytolase (CU-C) ameliorates the anti-adipogenic effects by modulation of adipocyte differentiation and lipid metabolism in 3T3-L1 cells. MATERIALS/METHODS Glycoside forms of Citrus...

Fruit color-break is the visual manifestation of the developmentally regulated transition of chloroplasts to chromoplasts during fruit ripening and often involves biosynthesis of copious amounts of carotenoids concomitant with massive breakdown of chlorophyll. Regulation of chlorophyll breakdown at different physiological and developmental stages of the plant life cycle, particularly at fruit c...

Changes in physicochemical traits, peel colour, and juice attributes of four blood orange cultivars (‘Moro’, ‘Tarocco’, ‘Sanguinello’, ‘Sanguine’) were evaluated during 180 days at 2 5 °C plus 20 for shelf life. ‘Tarocco’ had the lowest weight firmness losses both temperatures storage. Titratable acidity (TA) was higher than °C, with ‘Sanguinello’ showing highest TA, respectively. Juice content...

Easily extractable glomalin-related soil protein (EEG) released from arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi exhibits many roles in and plants, while it is not clear whether the biostimulator alone or combination with agronomic practices can improve characteristics fruit quality citrus. The objective of this study was to analyze effects foliar sprays EEG, singly bagging (FB), reflective film mulching (RF)...

the red flour beetle, tribolium castaneum (herbst), is one of the most destructive pests attacking stored grain products all over the world. serious problems assossiated with using synthetic chemical insecticides have strongly demonstrated the need for applying alternative safe compounds such as plant essential oils. the present experiment was conducted to evaluate fumigant toxicity of essentia...

Stored fish are frequently contaminated by foodborne pathogens. Lipid oxidation and microbial growth during storage are also important factors in the shelf-life of fresh fish. In order to ensure the safety of fish items, there is a need for control measures which are effective through natural inhibitory antimicrobials. It is also necessary to determine the efficacy of these products for fish pr...

Abstract Numerous studies have investigated the chemical composition and biological activities of essential oils from different Citrus species fruit peel, leaves flowers. This paper aims to investigate composition, larvicidal antileishmanial oil reticulata peel (CR-EO). CR-EO was obtained by hydrodistillation in a Clevenger-type apparatus its analyzed GC-MS GC-FID. Limonene (85.7%), ɣ-terpinene...
