Nowadays, consumers become interested to use the substitution of natural preservatives instead of chemical preservatives. It has been proven that pomegranate peel contains large amounts of antimicrobial and antioxidant compounds. In this study, the antimicrobial effect of ethanolic extract of pomegranate peel was evaluated on total microbial count, mold and yeast and Lactobacillus plantarum...

Previous studies in interlanguage speech intelligibility benefit (ISIB) did not separate the effects of shared knowledge of L1 in non-native talkers from those of listeners through extensive exposure to accented L2 speech, which is crucial to the mechanism underlying ISIB. This preliminary study attempts to tease apart the two by comparing perception accuracy of Mandarin-accented English words ...

Limonene has demonstrated efficacy in preclinical models of breast and colon cancers. The principal sources of d-limonene are the oils of orange, grapefruit, and lemon. The present case-control study was designed to determine the usual citrus consumption patterns of an older Southwestern population and to then evaluate how this citrus consumption varied with history of squamous cell carcinoma (...

This study provides new data on the various carotenoids found in bambangan (Mangifera pajang Kosterm.) peel and pulp extracts, such as all-trans-αand β-carotene, cis-β-carotene, 9-cis-β-carotene, and cryptoxanthin. Chemical and biological antioxidant assays were determined to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of bambangan peel and pulp extracts. Bambangan pulp had higher αand β-carotene content...

BACKGROUND To justify the use of the lidocaine/tetracaine medicated patch or peel as a preventive treatment for reducing pain and discomfort in adults and children. We reviewed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the lidocaine/tetracaine medicated patch or peel compared with placebo. METHODS Ten RCTs (574 patients) were included in this systemic review. ...

Present study has been under taken to evaluate the nutraceutical significance of bioflavonoid naringin, from pummelo fruit peel. Bioflavonoids were selectively extracted from the pummelo fruit peel meal without any interference of pectin using aqueous ethanol as solvent. Significant naringin content of 0.440.02g/100g of peel was found in fruit peel meal. For selective fractionation and concent...

The oranges were purchased from the local market of Bela. The orange peel and pulp were subjected to successive extraction with solvents in increasing order of their polarity viz. Acetone, hexane, methanol and distilled water. Orange peel and pulp powder was extracted separately by aqueous extraction. The phenolic content of these samples were studied according to the method described by Folin ...

Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) fruit peel, the main byproduct during the manufacture of tea seed oil, was used as raw material for the recovery of phenolic antioxidants. The effect of ethanol concentration, extraction time, and extraction temperature on total phenolic content (TPC) and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of the extracts from tea fruit peel was investigated. The maximum predict...

BACKGROUND We studied the antioxidant effects of fresh juice and peel extract of Citrus aurantifolia (Christm). METHODS Low density lipoprotein (LDL) was separated from one hypercholesterolemic human serum by modified Bronzert and Brewer procedure. Oxidation of LDL was measured at 234 nm against 0, 5, 10, 20, 25, 30 and 40 μl of fresh lime juice and 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 μl of peel polyphenolic...

The present study aims qualitative screening of the phytochemicals present in the peel of Amorphophallus paeoniifolius (Jimikand/ Suran) for its utilization as a potential therapeutic. The peel extract was prepared by dissolving dried peel powder in solvents like water, methanol, petroleum ether, and chloroform and concentrated using a rotary vacuum evaporator. The standard qualitative test for...
