Inhibitory activity of thirty-one ethanol extracts obtained from albedo, flavedo, seed and leaf parts of 17 cultivars of Citrus species from Turkey, the bark and leaves of Olea europaea L. from two locations (Turkey and Cyprus) as well as caffeic acid and hesperidin was tested against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), related to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's diseas...

Antibacterial and antifungal properties of wax and hexane extracts of Citrus spp. peels were tested using bioautographic and microdilution techniques against three plant pathogenic fungi (Penicillium digitatum, Curvularia sp., and Colletotrichum sp.), two human pathogens (Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum canis), and two opportunistic bacteria (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aure...

The present study was carried out to find out the antimicrobial activity of aqueous, acetone and ethyl acetate extract of Morus nigra and Citrus limon. Antimicrobial analysis was done by using agar well diffusion method against bacterial pathogens. Ethyl acetate extract of Morus nigra exhibited the maximum zone of inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus, while ethyl acetate extract of Citrus l...

Natural plant extracts contain a variety of phenolic compounds which are assigned various biological activities. Our work aims to make a quantitative and qualitative characterization of the Zest (ZL) and the Flesh (FL) of lemon (Citrus limon), to valorize the pharmacological uses of lemon, by evaluating in vitro activities (DPPH, free radical scavenging and reducing power). The antibacterial, a...

Purpose: The availability of fresh Citrus fruits is limited by their susceptibility to invasion microbial pathogens which leads cause serious postharvest losses. present study was carried out isolate and morphologically identify fungal associations from selected fruit species (C. sinensis, C. limon, crenatifolia medica) confirm identity molecular characterization. Research method: Postharvest w...

The coronavirus disease (SARSCov-2) pandemic now being done; every doctor has suggested consuming vitamin as dietary supplement. Besides an extensive range of significances, we want to focus vit C-rich natural resources despite costly dr...

repellet effect of extracts and essential oils of citrus limon (l.) burm.f., (lemon) and melissa officinalis, (balm) were evaluated against anopheles stephensi in laboratory on animal and human and compared with synthetic repellent, n,ndiethyl- 3-methylbenzamide (deet) as a standard. results of statistical analysis revealed significant differences between oils and extracts (p< 0.05) against the...

Putrescine (Put) increased 68% in lemon (Citrus limon (L.) Burm. f. cv Bearss) flavedo, 39% in grapefruit (C. paradisi Macf. cv Marsh) flavedo, 49% in grapefruit juice, and 149% in pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv Early Calwonder) pericarp when fruits were stored at chilling temperatures. In lemon flavedo, the coefficient of correlation (r(2)) between Put concentration with severity of chilling wa...
