background: childhood obesity is becoming a global problem and its incidence is increasing. the role of dietary intervention with fruits containing vitamin c and flavonoid to control obesity consequences in childhood has not been yet defined. lemon (citrus aurantifolia) peels contain flavonoid, pectin and vitamin c. we aimed to compare the effects of lemon peels and placebo on cardiometabolic r...

Most of the agricultural wastes in developing countries are disposed by on-site combustion leading to unmanaged environmental pollutions. Conversion value-added products, such as bioethanol and biogas, is a promising method reduce agro-waste after harvesting seasons. In this study, Citrus maxima peels (Pomelo peels) was selected be converted reducing sugars, which could raw material produce oth...

Abstract In the last years, an alternative and convenient way to composting and/or bio-gasifying food waste is represented by extraction of high value bioactive components from such materials. particular, essential oils contained in matrices as orange or lemon peels may represent for nutraceutical pharma industry. recent microwave assisted processes have been considered use solvent-free extract...

Aerobic composting and vermicomposting processes were compared in the co-composting of durian shells citrus peels. For decomposers, microorganism catalyst from Land Development Department, i.e., LDD1 catalyst, earthworms used. The moisture contents peels 84.6% 77.3%, respectively, pH relatively low, as these are sources potassium. experiments utilized four different reactors: (100%) reactor 1; ...

Financial support: None Conflict of interests: None ABSTRACT Diverse techniques for rejuvenating the skin of the inferior periorbital region – ranging from chemical peels to more modern technologies, such as lasers – have been described in the literature.Although countless advances have been made, the results are not always satisfactory.We describe a new technique for rejuvenating this area: pu...

BACKGROUND Superficial nail abnormalities include conditions which produce nail surface changes such as trachyonychia, pitting and ridging. Mostly, this is a neglected area due to the dearth of treatment options. Glycolic acid peeling has been reported to be effective in such cases. AIM This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of medium depth peels (70% glycolic acid versus phenol co...

Plant polyphenols derived from pomegranates are natural health-promoting components, and their bioactivities are well proved. However, the systematic studies of polyphenols constituents and cytotoxic ability in fruit parts of pomegranates derived from different Chinese cultivars have not been studied yet. In this report, a validated and sensitive HPLC-DAD method and fluorescence spectrophotomet...
