This study compared the concentration of ascorbic acid between citrus fruits collected from the farm of Kerman in Iran. Determination of ascorbic acid was carried out using a liquid chromatography coupled to a diode array detector, with reverse phase and isocratic elution. The validation parameters showed efficiency, adequate linearity, relative standard deviation values 0.02 % (n=10) for repea...

Background and purpose: Generated dye wastewater by the textile industry is usually toxic, non-biodegradable and resistant in the environment. Eggshell is one of the inexpensive material and for the reason the vesicular structures can be used as a proper adsorbent for pollutants removal. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficiency of eggshell for removal of acid orange 2 dye from aqu...

In vitro growth of explant (juice vesicle or albedo tissues) cultures from citron (Citrus medica), lemon (C. limon), grapefruit (C. paradisi), sweet orange (C. sinensis), and mandarin (C. reticulata) fruits was stimulated by addition of orange juice (10% v/v optimum) to a basal medium containing Murashige and Skoog salts, 50 grams per liter sucrose, 100 milligrams per liter myo-inositol, 5 mill...

This study was carried out on fruit of local orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) grown at private orchard Diyala governorate / Iraq, to the effect dipped fruits for 10 min in (0, 1, 2, 3% citric acid, 5 and 10% ginger) quality during 65- 105-days cold storage 5+1 with 85- 90% RH. Dipping acid solution reduced fruit's weight loss decay. Ginger extract significantly reserved acidity, total sugar s...

backgrounds and aims: the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of potassium, sodium and zinc metal ions on ammonium sulfate fraction of acid phosphatase activity of orange fruit. materials and methods: acid phosphatase was extracted and purified from orange fruit and then various samples as well as a control sample were prepared in vitro. in addition to substrates, ions of potassium...

the main theme to conduct present research work was to evaluate the effect of anaerobic granular sludge in degradation of two azo dyes. the study was evaluated in batch experiments where anaerobic and aerobic conditions were integrated by exposing anaerobic granular sludge to oxygen. under these conditions, the azo dyes were reduced, resulting in a temporal accumulation of aromatic amines. subs...

in the present study, advanced oxidation treatment, uv/ was applied to decolourisation of acid orange 8 (ao8). the uv radiation was carried out with a 15 w low-pressure mercury lamp. kinetic model for the decolourisation of the dye was developed based on experimental results and known chemical and photochemical reactions. the observed kinetic reaction constant was determined and correlated as a...
