Abstract The edible film is a thin layer of hydrophilic materials made proteins, carbohydrates, and fats that replaces plastic packaging. This study was carried out to determine the effect adding Pangkep orange peel ( Citrus maxima ) oil on films based corn flour. Treatments applied in this research were concentration flour (2%, 4%, 6% (w/v)) (1%, 1.5%, 2% (v/v)). Measurement parameters tensile...

It is common to observe disposal without any reuse of dry or organic waste. Food waste represents a relevant portion the produced waste, as case citrus fruits. Despite consumption fruit itself juice, peel wasted, causing loss potential products present in it, such essential oils, used food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical sectors due their varied properties. Another household vegetable oil, which i...

     Essential oil of the orange peel which was extracted by hydrodistillation method showed 50 different mono- and sesquiterpenes on GC-MS analysis, in ...

Orange peel essential oil is a common value-added product from orange juice processing waste. It antimicrobial and used to produce films coatings. This study reports the first development of using as powder (OPP) instead extracted oil. The OPP amount needed for was determined by studying effects on conidia germination inhibition (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)) mycelial growth reduction...

Background and study aims  Rectosigmoidoscopy with biopsy has been regarded to be a useful procedure to diagnose gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). However, little is known about the specific colonoscopic features of gastrointestinal GVHD. In this study, we focused on the 4 unique colonoscopic findings - orange peel appearance, spotty redness, small mucosal sloughing, and diffus...

In this proof of concept study we demonstrate direct utilization of limonene containing waste product orange peel as starting material for a biocatalytic cascade reaction. The product of this cascade is chiral carvolactone, a promising building block for thermoplastic polymers. Four different concepts were applied to augment limonene availability based on either water extraction solely, additio...

Agro-industrial wastes are mainly composed of complex polysaccharides that might serve as nutrients for microbial growth and production of enzymes. The aim of this work was to study polygalacturonase (PG) production by Aspergillus niveus cultured on liquid or solid media supplemented with agro-industrial wastes. Submerged fermentation (SbmF) was tested using Czapeck media supplemented with 28 d...

Poly-3-hydroxy butyrate (PHB) is a copolymer of polyhydroxyalkonate family. It accumulates in the intracellular granules of bacteria under nitrogen limiting environment. The PHB producing bacteria was isolated from farm soil by serial dilution method. The Sudan Black B staining and Nile Blue A staining were carried out to confirm that the isolated strain was capable of producing PHB. Further, i...
