orange peel extract solution contains mucilage flavor and three types of glycosides. limonene is one of the terpenoides in some vegetables, fruits and food; that plays as an antioxidant in juice. as it has anti-microorganism effects on some bacteria, we carried out the antifungal effects of limonene versus orange extract. in the present study the effects of orange extract and two types of limon...

The relationship between carotenoid accumulation and the expression of carotenoid biosynthetic genes during fruit maturation was investigated in three citrus varieties, Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc.), Valencia orange (Citrus sinensis Osbeck), and Lisbon lemon (Citrus limon Burm.f.). We cloned the cDNAs for phytoene synthase (CitPSY), phytoene desaturase (CitPDS), zeta-carotene (car) des...

Polygalacturonase and α-amylase play vital role in fruit juice industry. In the present study, polygalacturonase was produced by Aspergillus awamori Nakazawa MTCC 6652 utilizing apple pomace and mosambi orange (Citrus sinensis var mosambi) peels as solid substrate whereas, α-amylase was produced from A. oryzae (IFO-30103) using wheat bran by solid state fermentation (SSF) process. These carbohy...

opiine braconid parasitoids of tephritid pests have augmentative biological control potential, but there are no synthetic attractants to monitor their survival and dispersal following release. adults feed on fruit juices and these could be sources of attractive compounds. While orange juice (Citrus sinensis l.) is nutritious, guava juice (Psidium guajava l.) is toxic. the behavioral responses t...

This study examined the survival of acid-adapted E. coli O157 in kombucha during fermentation and refrigerated mixed with fruit juices. Acidic non-acidic mixes were fermented at 25°C using a commercially available starter culture inoculated 5-strain mixture O157. There was >5-log reduction pathogen count for both within 7 days fermentation. For kombucha-juice blends temperature, 14 ml lemon, ap...
