چکیده
Juice prepared from lemon (Eureka), mandarin (Kinnow) and orange (Orlando) fruits cultivated in Saudi Arabia were analyzed for different physico-chemical properties, total phenolics, ascorbic acid and antiradical activities. Juices from lemon, mandarin and orange 8.97, 16.1 and 11.78% total soluble solids; 5.73, 1.37 and 1.69% titrable acidity; 79.21, 91.18 and 107.37 mg GAE/100mL total phenolics; 31.24, 53.15 and 53.24 mg/100mL ascorbic acid and 48.3, 59.19 and 61.35% DPPH radical scavenging activities, respectively. The results show that juice from locally grown citrus fruits is of good quality and a valuable source of health promoting constituents.

Hyperpigmentation of back of hands due to Phytophotodermatitis secondary to contact with Citrus fruits juice
Background and objective: Peel oil and juice of citrus fruits have furocoumarin (Psoralen) that can induce phytophotodermatitis. If the reaction is mild, then only hyperpigmentation (Without itching, burning, erythema, vesicle and bullae, formation) may occur. The objective of this study was to describe the patients with hyperpigmentation of back of the hands. Materials and Methods: Thirty-two ...

متن کاملThe effect of rootstocks on sugars, acids, carotenoids, chlorophylls, and ethylene of Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu)
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of rootstocks on fruit sugars, organic acids, and carotenoids. The contents of sugars and organic acids in fruits were determined by HPLC. Total acidity (TA), total soluble solids (TSS), and pH value of the juice were also evaluated. Total carotenoids and chlorophylls contents were measured using a spectrophotometer. The content of ethylene in fruits was ...

Investigations have demonstrated that ratio of sugars to organic acids affects the particular taste of citrus fruit and carotenoids are essential for prevent of the disease. It seems that some rootstocks enhance the ripening of fruits and stimulatethe biosynthesis of sugars and carotenoids. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of rootstocks on sugars, organic acids andcarotenoids o...
متن کاملComparison of the Effects of Blending and Juicing on the Phytochemicals Contents and Antioxidant Capacity of Typical Korean Kernel Fruit Juices
Four Korean kernel fruit (apple, pear, persimmon, and mandarin orange) juices were obtained by household processing techniques (i.e., blending, juicing). Whole and flesh fractions of each fruit were extracted by a blender or a juicer and then examined for phytochemical content (i.e., organic acids, polyphenol compounds). The antioxidant capacity of each juice was determined by ferric reducing a...
