Temperature pretreatment is one of the most important factors which significantly affects postharvest quality citrus fruit. In this study, late-ripening Valencia orange (citrus sinensis) fruits were used to investigate effect short-term treatment at low (6°C), room (20°C), and high (40°C) temperatures on fruit quality. Our results revealed that both room-temperature treatments maintained conten...

Abstract Residues are generated after the processing of citrus fruits and can be used for essential oil extraction. Thus, objective this work was to evaluate composition, yield, quality proven 30 orange varieties, as an alternative better use its residues. The peels were crushed subjected hydrodistillation in a Clevenger-type. samples submitted Entirely Randomized Design (DIC) results analyzed ...

Background: Citrus sinensis L., commonly called sweet orange, fruit waste (peel, seed, and pulp) oils, are used as natural preservatives due to their broad spectrum of biological activities, including antimicrobial antioxidant effects. Objective: The aim this study was investigate the physicochemical properties, activities orange peel pulp oils extracted using solvent extraction method. Methods...

There is now biochemical and genetic evidence that oxidative cleavage of cis-epoxycarotenoids by 9-cisepoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (NCED) is the critical step in the regulation of abscisic acid (ABA) synthesis in higher plants. The peel of Citrus fruit accumulates large amounts of ABA during maturation. To understand the regulation of ABA biosynthesis in Citrus, two full-length cDNAs (CsNCED1 an...

there are some herbal plants in iranian traditional system of medicine which are believed to be excellent remedies to alleviate the symptoms of xerostomia. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of systemic administration of seven different herbal extracts on the rate of salivation in rats. the extracts of 7 herbs; zingiber officinale roscoe (zingiberaceae), citrus sinensis (l....

In vitro culture of pericarp segments from fruit of Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck cv Valencia was used to determine the temporal sequence in development of chloroplasts from chromoplasts during regreening of the epicarp. Regreening of chromoplasts closely resembled greening of etioplasts, except that regreening proceeded much more slowly. Chlorophyll, the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b binding ...

Ruminal inoculum enriched with particle-associated microorganisms was collected from rumen cannulated Santa Inês wethers grazing tropical grass pasture and a supplement based on ground corn and soybean before feeding and used to evaluate effects of some commercial essential oils (EO) on ruminal fermentation and methane emission in vitro. The investigated EOs were orange EO (Citrus sinensis, CrS...

ABSTRACT Xylella fastidiosa, a xylem-limited bacterium, causes several economically important diseases in North, Central, and South America. These diseases are transmitted by sharpshooter insects, contaminated budwood, and natural root-grafts. X. fastidiosa extensively colonizes the xylem vessels of susceptible plants. Citrus fruit have a well-developed vascular system, which is continuous with...
