the effects of mandarin scions on peel components and juice quality parameters were investigated in this study. peel flavor components were extracted by using cold-press and eluted by using n-hexane. then all analyzed by gc-fid and gc-ms. total soluble solids, total acids, ph value, ascorbic acid as well as density and ash were determined in juice obtained from mandarin scions. twenty-seven, tw...

Excess of copper (>2 mg/L) in drinking water is significantly toxic to human being and ecological environments. Various treatment technologies for copper removal from industrial and municipal waste water effluents has been investigated in past. In the present study batch biosorption studies were carried out for the adsorption of Cu by using natural cheap agrowaste such as peel of Citrus sinensi...

Examination of the dried peel powder of Citrus kawachiensis, one of the citrus products of Ehime, Japan, showed that it contained naringin (NGIN; 44.02 ± 0.491 mg/g), narirutin (NRTN; 4.46 ± 0.0563 mg/g), auraptene (AUR; 4.07 ± 0.033 mg/g), and 3,5,6,7,8,3',4'-heptamethoxyflavone (HMF; 0.27 ± 0.0039 mg/g). When this dried peel powder was orally preadministered at the dose of 1.2 or 2.4 g/kg/day...

The antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the extracts from peel, leaves, and bark of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.), and some essential oils such as cinnamon and citrus were investigated. The antioxidant activities (IC50) of peel, leaves, and bark extracted, which were evaluated by DPPH method, were 5.94, 9.44, and 6.46 μg/ml, respectively. Either cinnamon or citrus essential oil sh...

Citrus reticulata Blanco belongs to the family Rutaceae. It is commonly known as Narangi or Santra. Peel is the outer part of the pericarp of the ripe or nearly ripe fruits of Citrus reticulata Blanco. The present study deals with the pharmacognostic and phytochemical evaluation of Citrus reticulata Blanco peel. This study includes the macroscopic and microscopic analysis, physicochemical evalu...

natural citrus biotypes are a valuable genetic resource in the country. investigation about diversity of biochemical compounds due to optimize the utilization and development of new varieties is useful. therefore, for identifying them, the fruits of 16 biotypes with numbers of 6, 8, 15, 21, 24, 25, 26, 29, 30, 41, 43, 45, 48, 51, 52 and 53 in the germplasm collection of the iran citrus research...

Citrus flavonoid concentration in different tissues of citrus from different species around the world were compared together with citrus related traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) ingredients. The citrus species with high flavonoid content like Citrus aurantium and the flavonoid-enriched tissues such as peel and young fruit are frequently utilized in TCM recipes for their gastric protective, an...

Present study has been under taken to evaluate the nutraceutical significance of bioflavonoid naringin, from pummelo fruit peel. Bioflavonoids were selectively extracted from the pummelo fruit peel meal without any interference of pectin using aqueous ethanol as solvent. Significant naringin content of 0.440.02g/100g of peel was found in fruit peel meal. For selective fractionation and concent...

BACKGROUND We studied the antioxidant effects of fresh juice and peel extract of Citrus aurantifolia (Christm). METHODS Low density lipoprotein (LDL) was separated from one hypercholesterolemic human serum by modified Bronzert and Brewer procedure. Oxidation of LDL was measured at 234 nm against 0, 5, 10, 20, 25, 30 and 40 μl of fresh lime juice and 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 μl of peel polyphenolic...
