Dragon fruit peel can be utilized as a natural dye due to betacyanin content, redviolet pigment of betalain group. Betacyanin is unstable to temperature, oxygen, and light, consequently microencapsulation technology is required to maintain its stability. This study aims to determine microencapsulation efficiency of dragon fruit peel extract with variation of encapsulation ratio and to perceive ...

Mangosteen peel is an inedible portion of a fruit. We are interested in using these residues as components of a dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC). Carbonized mangosteen peel was used with mangosteen peel dye as a natural counter electrode and a natural photosensitizer, respectively. A distinctive mesoporous honeycomb-like carbon structure with a rough nanoscale surface was found in carbonized ma...

Combined spraying of gibberellin (GA) and prohydrojasmon (PDJ) was an effective method to prevent the physiological disorder peel puffing in citrus fruit. However, GA PDJ combined treatment inhibited carotenoid biosynthesis during fruit ripening process, which led mature with poor color. In present study, improve coloration PDJ-treated fruit, effects postharvest treatments two auxins, indole-3-...

Aim: To evaluate the anti-bacterial potential of pomegranate against Salmonella typhi. Methodology: Ethanolic extracts of pomegranate's different parts; peel, pericarp and fruit were screened for anti-bacterial activity against Multi-Drug Resistance (MDR) strain (UHS-14) by agar well diffusion method. 6% phenol was used as positive control. Results: The peel extract had the largest inhibitory z...
