Phenolic compounds of unripe and ripe sweet orange peels were determined using a high-performance liquid chromatography separation method with diode array detector (HPLC-DAD). The in vitro antioxidant properties and the EC50 (concentration required to obtain a 50% antioxidant effect) values were also determined. The predominant phenolic compounds were quercitrin, rutin, and quercetin with value...

In the legal case In re Agent Orange Product Liability Litigation of the early 1980s, US military veterans of the Vietnam War sued the US chemical companies that had produced the herbicide Agent Orange, and those companies settled with US veterans out of court. Agent Orange contains dioxin, a chemical later shown to disrupt the hormone [5] system of the body and to cause cancer. As veterans ret...

This study is aimed to produce economical and high quality orange nectar by partial replacement of sucrose with an equivalent sweetness from the safe artificial sweetener sucralose. Using different ratios from sucrose and sucralose at concentrations equivalent to sucrose sweetness in the final orange nectar affect significantly (p<0.05) the total soluble solids (Brix) and viscosity (cp) but doe...

Orange peel and pulp were analyzed for their proximate composition, water and oil holding capacity. Data showed that, orange peel and pulp had high amount of dietary fiber (74.87 and 70.64%, respectively) with high proportion of IDF, also it has high level of water and oil holding capacity. Biscuits prepared from blendes containing different proportion (0,5,15 and 25%) orange peel or pulp were ...

BACKGROUND Simultaneous contact allergies to Disperse Orange 1, 4-nitroaniline and p-aminodiphenylamine (PADPA), as well as to other disperse azo dyes and to p-phenylenediamine (PPD), have been reported. Cross-reactivity is one of the possible explanations for simultaneous reactions between PPD and disperse azo dyes. Some metabolites from the azo reduction of these disperse azo dyes could be se...

PURPOSE Orange pigment is an important sign of malignancy in melanocytic tumors. There is a question as to whether the pigment accumulation is inside of macrophages or retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. We investigated which cells are involved with this color alteration. METHODS We examined enucleated specimens from two patients with choroidal melanoma and dense orange pigment on fundus ...

Acridine Orange is a cell-permeable green fluorophore that can be protonated and trapped in acidic vesicular organelles (AVOs). Its metachromatic shift to red fluorescence is concentration-dependent and, therefore, Acridine Orange fluoresces red in AVOs, such as autolysosomes. This makes Acridine Orange staining a quick, accessible and reliable method to assess the volume of AVOs, which increas...
