To establish the most convenient and effective method to dry tangerine peels, different methods (sun drying, hot-air drying, freeze drying, vacuum drying, and medium- and short-wave infrared drying) were exploited. Our results indicated that medium- and short-wave infrared drying was the best method to preserve nutraceutical components; for example, vitamin C was raised to 6.77 mg/g (D.W.) from...

The computer graphic simulation of a common spray painting artifact, called orange peel, is discussed. Orange peel distorts surface reflections and is commonplace in product design applications. The orange peel measurements from a standard industrial instrument are used to construct a height field, and this surface is rendered using traditional normal mapping techniques. Comparisons are made be...

Among the waste by-products generated by fruit industry (peels, seeds, and skins), peel constitutes major component. It is estimated that accounts for at least 20% of fresh weight. Fruit peels are considered as sources dietary fiber anticipated to be successfully utilized prebiotics. This study examined chemical composition, functional properties prebiotic effects three tropical (apple, banana ...
