introduction: the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the dissolving efficacy of eucalyptol and orange oil solvents associated with passive ultrasonic activation (pua) in zinc oxide-eugenol (zoe) based and epoxy resin-based root canal sealers. methods and materials: seventy samples of each sealer were prepared and then randomized according to the solvent and the time of the ultrasonic ac...

this study aimed to assess the effect of chloroform, eucalyptol and orange oil solvents on the microhardness of human root dentin.sixty-eight single-rooted single-canal extracted human premolar teeth were used. tooth crowns were separated from the roots at the cementoenamel junction (cej). roots were buccolingually sectioned into mesial and distal halves. specimens were randomly divided into 5 ...

Ruminal inoculum enriched with particle-associated microorganisms was collected from rumen cannulated Santa Inês wethers grazing tropical grass pasture and a supplement based on ground corn and soybean before feeding and used to evaluate effects of some commercial essential oils (EO) on ruminal fermentation and methane emission in vitro. The investigated EOs were orange EO (Citrus sinensis, CrS...

The volatile compounds from Maclura pomifera (Osage orange fruit) peel have been studied by GC-FID and GC–MS. Volatiles fraction proportion was estimated to 60 mg/kg. Identified compounds consist on aliphatics (52.6%), monoterpenes along with sesquiterpenes (27.3%), phenylpropane derivatives along with related compounds (10.0%) and other compounds (10.6%). Among the 60 identified compounds, 1-h...

Orange peel is one of byproduct from the kalamansi syrup industry. oil stored in gland skin (flavedo). contains cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin and other components. Degradation carried out by biological agents such as bacteria fungi can increase yield. This study aimed to determine effect fermentation time amount inoculum on yield orange oil. consisted two factors, namely length (2 days, 4 6 ...

BACKGROUND Limonene, a major component in citrus oil, has demonstrated anti-cancer effects in preclinical mammary cancer models. However, the effective oral dose translates to a human dose that may not be feasible for chronic dosing. We proposed to evaluate topical application of limonene to the breast as an alternative dosing strategy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a mouse disposition s...
