the effects of rootstock on the volatile flavour components of page mandarin juice and peel were investigated in this study. juice flavour components were extracted by using poly dimethyl silaxane  membranes( pdms ) and eluted by pentane dichloromethane and then analyzed by gc-fid and gc-ms. peel flavour components were extracted by using cold-press and eluted by using n-hexane and then analyze...

introduction: citrus are one of the important orchard fruit production that after banana is second in production at the world level and every year, chemical fertilizers having most important role in increasing crops productions, but in long application of fertilizers cause soil destructions and polluting underground water. also soils of dry regions are very poor in organic matter level. nowaday...

To investigate the relationship between a carotenoid profile and gene expression for carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases, three citrus varieties that exhibit different 9-cis-violaxanthin levels in their juice sacs, Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc.; a variety accumulating a low level of 9-cis-violaxanthin), Valencia orange (Citrus sinensis Osbeck; variety accumulating a high level of 9-cis-vio...

'Persian' acid lime (PAL) is the most important triploid commercial citrus crop planted in the world. Little is known about the genetic variability of the selections used in Brazil. Therefore, 25 genotypes originating from the PAL, and three control species, Citrus sunki, C. limon, and C. aurantiifolia, were assessed using inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) and inter-retrotransposon amplified ...

Extreme weather conditions with negative impacts can strongly affect agricultural production. In the Danjiangkou reservoir area, citrus yields were greatly influenced by cold weather conditions and drought stress in 2011. Soil straw mulching (SM) practices have a major effect on soil water and thermal regimes. A two-year field experiment was conducted to evaluate whether the SM practices can he...

A transition towards an organic food system is taking place around the world. This process favored by growing consumer demand, who associate crops with being healthier, tastier, and safer for environment than conventional crops. Citrus one of most widely produced worldwide has important socio-economic cultural significance in Mediterranean area. The aim this work twofold; on hand, it reveals va...

This study identified secondary metabolites produced by Alternaria alternata, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, and Penicillium digitatum in fruits of two blood orange cultivars before harvest. Analysis was performed UHPLC–Q-TOF-MS. Three types were selected, asymptomatic, symptomatic showing necrotic lesions caused hail, mummified. Extracts from peel juice analyzed separately. the prevalent spec...

Total fruit intake in the United States is ~1 cup equivalent per day, or one-half of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommendation for adults. Twothirds of the fruit consumed is whole fruit and one-third is 100% juice. The nutritional value of whole fruit, with the exception of fiber and vitamin C, may be retained with appropriate juice production methods and storage conditions. One-...

abstract pomegranate (punica granatum l.) is an important iranian-native fruit, and many of its varieties are cultivated. this research was conducted to evaluate some of the major physical and chemical properties of six pomegranate cultivars at ripening stage in a completely randomized design with 4 replications. the investigated traits were fruit fresh weight, fruit volume, peel thickness, pee...

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...
