Introduction A study was made recently in this laboratory on some possible causes of breakdown in the peel of Washington Navel oranges. One approach to this problem was the determination and evaluation of the relative quantities of volatile oil in the peel of affected and unaffected fruits (2). It was founld early in this investigation that more information was needed than had been published on...

BACKGROUND Banana is grown worldwide and consumed as ripe fruit or used for culinary purposes. Peels form about 18-33% of the whole fruit and are discarded as a waste product. With a view to exploiting banana peel as a source of valuable compounds, this study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of different extraction parameters on the antioxidant activities of the industrial by-product of ba...

The effects of rootstock on the volatile flavour components of page mandarin juice and peel were investigated in this study. Juice flavour components were extracted by using Poly dimethyl silaxane  membranes( PDMS ) and eluted by pentane dichloromethane and then analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. Peel flavour compone...

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 ...

Adhesives that involve adhesion to the skin have been of great technological importance inmedical or pharmaceutical fields, including recently emergingwearable sensors and electronics. The objective of this workwas to evaluate the performances of silicone-based adhesives with skin, using a peel adhesion test. Specifically, we explored the effect of adhesive cleansing, which is an inevitable dai...

background: it was found that, climatic conditions and fruit ripeness are important factor for the occurrence and intensity of superficial scald. 1-mcp is an inhibitor of ethylene action in plants and inhibits many ripening related processes along with the production of ethylene and volatiles. objective: apples are often held for several months at low temperature either in air (ra) or in contro...

The growing interest on the replacement of synthetic antioxidants with natural ones has directed many research toward the plant-derived raw materials. The special attention is focused on inexpensive or residual sources from food agricultural industries. Fruit peels are valuable wastes obtained from domestic and industrial sources. The potential of fruit wastes as sources of natural antioxidants...

The nutritional value of the peeled and unpeeled fruit (peel plus flesh tissues) was studied using four peach (Prunus persica L.; Red Heaven, Maria Blanca, Big Top, Queen Giant), two pear (Pyrus communis Santa Maria, Pyrus pyrifolia N.; Nashi), three apple (Malus domestica Borkh.; Gala, Granny Smith, Chief) cultivars. Based on principal components analysis (PCA) models, there a clear differenti...

four chinese pomegranate (punica granatum l.) cultivars were analyzed for their individual flavonols and flavones (in fruit peel extracts) using high performance liquid chromatography (hplc), with changes in flavonols and flavones as occurring during fruit development. the results revealed the presence of kaempferol, quercetin, myricetin, luteolin, and apigenin in all the four cultivars. in add...

Distribution of radiolabeled assimilates was examined at various intervals after 1 hour of light or dark 14CO2 fixation by leaves or developing fruit of grapefruit (Citrus paradisi Macf.) so that the fate of assimilates from each source could be assessed at sequential stages of fruit growth. Exported products of both light and dark 14CO2 fixation in leaves were deposited primarily in juice tiss...
