The release characteristics of flavor in boiling water and the flavor retention in the rice after cooking were investigated by using spray dried powder in encapsulated in or emulsified with d-limonene or ethyl n-hexanoate in cyclodextrin and maltodextrin, or in gum arabic and maltodextrin. The behavior of flavor release into the boiling water was well simulated by Avrami's equation. The retenti...

Trypanocidal activity was found in the volatile oil of dried Dracocephalum kotschyi. GC-MS analysis determined that the major constituents of the oil were geranial (35.8%), C10H14O (26.6%), limonene (15.8%) and 1,1-dimethoxy decane (14.5%). In order to isolate the unknown biologically active monoterpene, fractionation of the volatile oil was carried out by silica gel column chromatography. The ...

The stereochemistry and absolute configuration of the four deodarols and two deodarones derived from R-(+)-limonene is described. © 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

We observed the emergence and inversion of chiroptical handedness in three chiroptically silent dialkylpolysilanes during aggregation in limonene-methanol-THF tersolvents.

Accepted 13 May 2013 Perillyl alcohol and d-limonene are naturally occurring plant compounds that exhibited anticarcinogenic activities in mammary tumor models. The effects of these monoterpenes at the initiation stage of aflatoxin B1-induced hepatocarcinogenesis were investigated. Male F344 rats were fed Control or treatment diets throughout the study and exposed to aflatoxin for 5 days. Three...

Brazilian fish farming goes together with the emergence of numerous bacterial diseases, Aeromonas hydrophila being main pathogen. As a consequence, antimicrobials are excessively used. Considering that relatively stable and nonbiodegradable, medicinal plants their phytochemicals have been used as alternative treatments bacteriosis in farming. Limonene is monoterpene available two enantiomers: R...

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