Abstract. Background Depression is a mood disorder that affects person’s quality of life. This condition influenced by the levels monoamine compounds such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine in brain. The decrease leads to depressive symptoms. Lemon peel essential oil has an antidepressant potential, contains phytochemicals, d-Limonene, which increase Aromatherapy diffuser inhalation met...

In this study, biofunctionalized globular or oval shaped silver nanoparticles were obtained by using aqueous extract of lemon peel (Citrus limon) via microwave-accelerated heating system. While UV−visible spectroscopy, FTIR and XRD analyses applied to recognize the formation nano-silver, TEM Zeta analysis employed reveal their morphological features. UV–vis spectrum fabricated AgNPs indicated i...

Lemon peel waste (LPW) were pyrolysed in a laboratory fixed-bed reactor at final temperature of 300 °C, 400 °C and 500 with an incremental heating rate 10 °C/min, under N2 atmosphere to produce biochar, bio-oil gas. The maximum yields bio-oil, biochar gas 16.66 wt%, 66.89 wt% 54.6 respectively, °C. produced has calorific value around 12 MJ/N m3 composition up 68.82 vol.% CO, 5.25 CH4, 1.48 CnHm...

BACKGROUND The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of persimmon peel (PPM) supplementation on carcass performance, pork quality, eating quality, fatty acid composition, and cholesterol concentration of the porcine longissimus dorsi muscle. RESULTS No adverse effects of PPM supplementation were observed on carcass and meat quality characteristics among the treatment groups...

Laser-ablation electrospray ionization (LAESI) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) does not require very flat surfaces, high-precision sample preparation, or the addition of matrix. Because of these features, LAESI-MSI may be the method of choice for spatially-resolved food analysis. In this work, LAESI time-of-flight MSI was investigated for macroscopic and microscopic imaging of pesticides, mycot...

I show that the presence of informed buyers is necessary but not always su cient for producers to use prices as signals of product quality. A su ciently high fraction of informed buyers eliminates the lemons problem. A small fraction of informed buyers mitigates the lemons problem, provided that buyers' prior belief of high quality is su ciently pessimistic : price reveals high quality at a sig...

The effect of apple and lemon on lipid profile was studied. Forty-five people with hyperlipidaemia were selected. The forty-five respondents were randomly assigned to three groups. The first group was given an apple a day the second group one lemon drink per day, the third group was given the combination of an apple and a lemon per day. Three other variables were noted namely diet, exercise, an...

The application of peel tests for the measurement of adhesive fracture toughness of metal-polymer laminates is reviewed and the merits of a mandrel peel method are highlighted. The mandrel method enables a direct experimental determination of both adhesive fracture toughness (GA) and the plastic bending energy (GP) during peel, whilst other approaches require a complex calculation for GP. In th...
