Continued application of synthetic insecticides arise development of resistance and pollution of the environment. Laboratory experiments were conducted to test the efficacy of products of orange (Citrus sinensis) peels in the control of the stored products beetle Zabrotes subfasciatus (L) in stored haricot beans (latin name). Different levels of the extracts and essential oil of Citrus sinensis...

Biosynthesis of nanosilver by using sweet orange (C. sinensis) as a bioreductor has shown nanosized results. In this research, the effect volume variation juice and peel extract combination toward characteristics antibacterial activity synthesized will be studied. Solution AgNO3 1 mM was mixed with – ratios (v/v), 3:0; 1.5:1.5; 1:2; 0.5:2.5 0:3 at 60˚C for 45 minutes. The color change solution ...

In the present study, we aimed to examine the potential protective effect of C. aurantinum L. peel extract against oxidative damage induced by hexavalent chromium in the heart of adult rats. Rats were divided into six groups. Group I served as controls and received standard diet. Group II received via drinking water potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) alone (700 ppm) during 3 weeks. Groups III and I...

onion (allium cepa) bulb from liliaceae has antioxidant, spasmolytic and antihypertensive activities. the aim of present study was to investigate the antispasmodic effect of onion peel on rat ileum contractility. onion peel powder was extracted by maceration in 70% alcohol for 72 h. a terminal portion of ileum from male wistar rat was dissected and its contractions were recorded isotonically in...

Purpose Despite the numerous reports on biological syntheses of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), little is known about the composition of their capping agents, protein corona of plant extract-mediated synthesis, and their influence on the properties of AgNPs. Here, orange (Citrus sinensis) waste was utilized as a source of an extract for AgNP synthesis (the protein corona composition of which was ...

Orange peel is one of byproduct from the kalamansi syrup industry. oil stored in gland skin (flavedo). contains cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin and other components. Degradation carried out by biological agents such as bacteria fungi can increase yield. This study aimed to determine effect fermentation time amount inoculum on yield orange oil. consisted two factors, namely length (2 days, 4 6 ...

To investigate the efficacy of pomegranate (Punica granatum) as an alternative and safe treatment against Hymenolipes nana through experimental study on the white laboratory mice. Twenty eight Swiss albino mice naturally infected with Hymenolipes nana. Animals were divided into four groups, one group as control and groups 2-4 were fed daily with dose 0.5 ml, 1.0 ml and 1.5 ml pomegranate peel e...
