peel (pulp oil). Seeds contain typically around 10% oil, whereas the oil content in the soft parts varies over a much wider range from 0.5 to 10% (f. w.), largely depending on origins and varieties. Sea buckthorn seed oil and pulp oil differ considerably in fatty acid composition (Table I). While linoleic (18:2n-6) and α-linolenic (18:3n-3) acids are the major fatty acids in the seed oil, the h...

The present work investigates the effect of ripening stage on the chemical composition of essential oil extracted from peel of four citrus: bitter orange (Citrus aurantium), lemon (Citrus limon), orange maltaise (Citrus sinensis), and mandarin (Citrus reticulate) and on their antibacterial activity. Essential oils yields varied during ripening from 0.46 to 2.70%, where mandarin was found to be ...

Continued application of synthetic insecticides arise development of resistance and pollution of the environment. Laboratory experiments were conducted to test the efficacy of products of orange (Citrus sinensis) peels in the control of the stored products beetle Zabrotes subfasciatus (L) in stored haricot beans (latin name). Different levels of the extracts and essential oil of Citrus sinensis...

BACKGROUND Recently, essential oils and extracts derived from plants have received much interest as potential bio-active agents against mosquito vectors. METHODS The essential oils extract from fresh peel of ripe fruit of Citrus aurantium and Citrus paradisi were tested against mosquito vector Anopheles stephensi (Diptera: Culicidae) under laboratory condition. Then chemical composition of th...

studies have shown that oxygenated compounds and tss/ta are important for beverage and food industries. it seems that citrus rootstocks have a profound influence on oxygenated compounds and tss/ta. the aim of this research is to identify rootstock that can synthesize the maximum level of oxygenated compounds and tss/ta. peel oil was extracted using mechanical presses and eluted using n-hexane. ...

The last 7 years have seen over seven times as many publications indexed by Medline dealing with pomegranate and Punica granatum than in all the years preceding them. Because of this, and the virtual explosion of interest in pomegranate as a medicinal and nutritional product that has followed, this review is accordingly launched. The pomegranate tree, Punica granatum, especially its fruit, poss...

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...

Citrus peel essential oils have an impressive range of food and medicinal uses. In the present study we investigated the variation in the yield and chemical composition of the essential oils isolated from fresh, ambient-, and oven-dried peels of three Citrus species namely Citrus reticulata (C. reticulata), Citrus sinensis (C. sinensis) and Citrus paradisii (C. paradisii). The hydro-distilled e...

studies have shown that oxygenated compounds and tss are important in food products. it seems that cultivars have a profound influence on these factors. the goal of the present study is to investigate on flavor components and juice quality parameters of two mandarin cultivars. in the last week of january 2012, at least 10 mature fruit were collected and their peel oil was extracted using cold-p...
