China is one of the leading producers of citrus in the world. Gannan in Jiangxi Province is the top navel orange producing area in China. In the present study, an essential oil was prepared by cold pressing of Gannan navel orange peel followed by molecular distillation. Its chemical composition was analyzed by GC-MS. Twenty four constituents were identified, representing 97.9% of the total oil....

Preliminary studies have shown that orange peel polymethoxylated flavones (PMFs) exhibit beneficial biological properties in animals. These properties have increased the demands for these compounds as candidate nutraceuticals and specialty food ingredients. Orange oil residues are a likely commercial source of the PMFs, and a rapid, solvent-free method for the analysis of the PMFs in orange oil...

is added to grapefruit pulp the pulp acts as a bland filler and makes an apple pie. If peach is added it makes a peach pie. Citric acid, sugar and peel oil give excellent orange, grapefruit and tangerine jams. A little' peel oil, sunset yellow, No. 6 and sugar makes a good ice cream mix. Add more sugar and you have a good sundae topping. Cake fillings were made from the jams but they gave troub...

minimum inhibitory concentrations (mic) of some essential oils and citric acid were determined against two micro-organisms associated with spoilage of orange juice (saccharomyces cervisiae and leuconostoc mesenteroids) and against four unidentified microorganisms isolated from citrus surface and spoiled orange juice. mic for limonene were obtained less than 5% w/v aqueous against saccharomyces ...

Continued application of synthetic insecticides arise development of resistance and pollution of the environment. Laboratory experiments were conducted to test the efficacy of products of orange (Citrus sinensis) peels in the control of the stored products beetle Zabrotes subfasciatus (L) in stored haricot beans (latin name). Different levels of the extracts and essential oil of Citrus sinensis...

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...

dicated that the developed flavor descriptive analysis procedure can be used either in Spain or USA with similar outcomes. Orange juices prepared using similar processes in both countries had comparable flavor characteristics. Thus, hand-squeezed orange juices were described with citrus fruits, green and floral attributes. Pasteurized products were also described as citrusy, green and sweet fru...

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...

background and objectives: the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of bitter orange (citrus aurantium) leaf, ripe and unripe peel essential oils, cultivated in southwest of iran, were investigated. materials and methods: the analysis of chemical composition of hydro-distilled essential oils was carried out by gc-ms. the disc diffusion and broth micro-dilution were used to assay the ...
