Fruit peels of Banana, Pomegranate, Sweet lime and Orange are highly rich in potash, ion, Zinc etc. Above fruit peels powder were formulated from the trace amounts and gradually increased for the preparation of three formulations as Formulation 1, Formulation 2 and Formulation 3. Three different formulations were applied for plant growth in two methods such as fruit peel powder, fruit peel powd...

Large quantities of fruit wastes are generated during the consumption and processing fruits. The disposal in an environmentally benign way is a challenging task. biochar production from by pyrolysis receiving huge attention because it can alleviate pollution provide supply sustainably. In this study, five waste types—orange peel, banana mango endocarp, apricot kernel shell, date pits—are examin...

Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc.), Hallabong [(C. Marc. × C. sinensis Osb.)×(C. reticulata Blanco)], Cheonhyehyang [((C. unshiu×C. sinensis)×C. reticulata)×(C. reticulate×C. sinensis)], and Redhyang (citrus hybrid 'Kanpei), which are citrus hybrids, mostly consumed in Korea. The flavor of peel depends on the composition content volatile essential oils. Limonene, ?-terpinene, ?-myrcene, lin...

This work aimed to evaluate the efficiency of different organic solvents such as, methanol, ethanol, dichloromethane, acetone, hexane and ethyl acetate for extraction of ( flavonoids and polyphenolic compounds(TFC and TPC respectively) from the orange peel. Also, the effect of these solvents on the yield percentage, chelating activity, antioxidant/radical scavenging capacity and reducing power ...

Terpenoid volatiles are isoprene compounds that are emitted by plants to communicate with the environment. In addition to their function in repelling herbivores and attracting carnivorous predators in green tissues, the presumed primary function of terpenoid volatiles released from mature fruits is the attraction of seed-dispersing animals. Mature oranges (Citrus sinensis) primarily accumulate ...

Citrus oil is a clear volatile oil with a pleasant pungent odor. The material furnished for these experiments was extracted from citrus peel and is double distilled. Citrus peel oil mixed with dehydrated gum turpentine in the proportions of 80 per cent and 20 per cent respectively, has been used commercially as a deodorant and an insect repellant. Because of its penetrating properties citrus oi...

Plants use volatile terpene compounds as odor cues for communicating with the environment. Fleshy fruits are particularly rich in volatiles that deter herbivores and attract seed dispersal agents. We have investigated how terpenes in citrus fruit peels affect the interaction between the plant, insects, and microorganisms. Because limonene represents up to 97% of the total volatiles in orange (C...

This study reports the optimised conditions (temperature, ethanol concentration and processing-time) for antioxidant extraction from potato peel (Agria variety) waste. At short extraction times (34 min), optimal yields of phenolic (TP) and flavonoid (Fv) compounds were reached at 89.9°C and ethanol concentrations of 71.2% and 38.6%, respectively. The main phenolic compounds identified in the ex...
