Due to the visual appearance and high carotenoid content, orange inner leaves are a desirable trait for the Chinese cabbage. To understand the molecular mechanism underlying the formation of orange inner leaves, the BrCRTISO (Bra031539) gene, as the Br-or candidate gene, was analyzed among the white and orange varieties, and 7 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified. However, onl...

Orange peel oil is used extensively as an approved flavour enhancer in fruit drinks, carbonated beverages and as a scenting agent in soaps and cosmetics. Limonene, which is a monocyclic monoterpene is present in orange peel oil from 90 to 95% (w/w). Monoterpenes have been shown to be very effective chemopreventive agents against several rodent tumors and are currently in clinical trials. Howeve...

Grafting influences scion photosynthetic capacity and fruit quality. Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), which strongly affects photosynthetic rate, and Rubisco activase (RCA), which regulates Rubisco activity, are two key photosynthetic enzymes. However, little information is available regarding the effect of grafting on the concentration and expression of Rubisco and RC...

Abstract—Fruit juices play important roles in human health as being a key part of nutrition. Juice and nectar are two categories of drinks with so many variations for consumers, regardless of age, lifestyle and taste preferences, which they can find their favorites. Juices contain 100% pulp when pulp content of ‘nectar’ changes between 25%-50%. In this study, potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), and ...

To deal with the incident, and guarantee the quality safety of navel orange, traceability system are used to record the information from tree planting to fruit sale. Navel orange safety production information management system, which manages the whole process from tree planting to circulation, achieves the entire information management except sale step of the navel orange food chain, is the cor...

Biochemical and physical changes of two types of fresh-cut fruits packaged in plastic containers and stocked at 4°C were studied over a period of six days. The first type of container was film-lidded and contained orange juice, pomelo, kiwifruit and orange slices. The second type was plastic-lidded and contained orange juice, apple, kiwifruit and orange slices. Color, vitamin C and carbohydrate...

Acridine orange is a metachromatic intercalator used extensively in histochemistry to differentiate double- from single-stranded (ds, ss) nucleic acid by the emission of green and red fluorescence, respectively, under ultraviolet light. In the present study we standardised a protocol in order to use acridine orange to detect rotavirus ds RNA in polyacrylamide gels and compared it to silver and ...

BACKGROUND Vitamin D has been added to calcium-fortified orange juice. It is unknown whether vitamin D is as bioavailable from orange juice as it is from supplements. OBJECTIVES The objective was to compare the bioavailability of vitamin D(2) and vitamin D(3) from orange juice with that from vitamin D(2) and vitamin D(3) supplements. A secondary aim was to determine which form of vitamin D is...
