Article info: Received: 18 October 2012 Accepted: 10 December 2012 ABSTRACT Orange and lemon peels were used for obtaining pectic polysaccharides. Citrus peels were previously treated with 96% ethanol, and the obtained alcoholinsoluble solids (AIS) were subjected to a sequential extraction with hot distilled water and hot 0.5% HCl. Waterand acid-extracted orange (WEOP and AEOP) and lemon (WELP ...

Introduction: Most physicians associate the term phenol peel with the Baker-Gordon formula and have not kept up with the resurgence of modified, light phenol peels that were popularized by lay peelers since the 1920s. ?1 Deep dynamic rhytides and acne scars are typically resistant to current resurfacing techniques. The concepts of reapplying phenol on abraded skin and phenol neck peeling are ne...

Musa sapientum which is commonly called banana is an herbaceous plant of family Musaceae, a popular fruit consumed worldwide. It is originated from topical region of Southern Asia. The plant is cultivated for its fruits and to a lesser extent for production of fibres. Considering the nutritional activities, it is one of the leading food crops with high source of minerals, vitamins, flavonoids, ...

Mandarins are the second most farmed citrus. Consumers demand a mandarin fruit that is both tasty and excellent in quality. The quality, flavonoid profile, antioxidant capacity total carotenoid content of five varieties (‘Zorica’, ‘Chahara’, ‘Kawano Wase’, ‘Owari’ ‘Saigon’) Satsuma mandarins grown Neretva valley (Croatia) were determined. In this research, distribution bioactive compounds was d...

Banana varieties have a significant effect on the reducing sugar content in peel. In recent years, potential efforts been directed towards utilization of cheap renewable agricultural resources, such as banana peel waste alternative substrate for ethanol production. Various conversion pathways are compared from technical, economic, and environmental points view. This study also deals mainly with...

Rik Peels has ingeniously argued that ignorance is not equivalent to the lack or absence of knowledge. In this response, I defend the “Standard View of Ignorance” according to which they are equivalent. In the course of doing so, some important lessons will emerge concerning the nature of ignorance and its relationship to knowledge.

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the acid-tolerant yeast Candida zemplinina NP2, which was isolated from peach peels. This genome sequence will aid in the understanding of the organism's physiological properties as a potential producer of organic acids in acidic environments.

Two new cyclic peptides were isolated from the fruit peels of Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis SWINGLE. Their structures were elucidated as cyclo(-Gly-Asp-Leu-Thr-Val-Tyr-Phe-) and cyclo(-Gly-Leu-Pro-Trp-Leu-Ile-Ala-Ala-) by intensive two-dimensional (2D) NMR analysis and chemical evidence.

Oranges and mandarins in Chongqing, China, are mostly processed for juice their peels wasted or landfilled. To add value, it is essential to utilize the extract useful materials, such as citrus oils (CEOs). Here, we report metabolome analysis of Citrus x sinensis (CS) reticulata (CR). In total, 793 metabolites were detected CS CR peels, which 242 differentially accumulated. The grouped into 12 ...
