This study evaluated the efficacy of various organic solvents (80% acetone, 80% ethanol, 80% methanol) and distilled water for extracting antioxidant phenolic compounds from turmeric, curry leaf, torch ginger and lemon grass extracts. They were analyzed regarding the total phenol and flavonoid contents, antioxidant activity and concentration of some phenolic compounds. Antioxidant activity was ...

This study presents an equation developed to estimate, from zero and short-span tensile tests, the average length of load-bearing elements (the distance between serious defects along a fiber length) within a sheet of paper. The equation was used to examine the effect of drying treatment on the average loadbearing element length in paper made from five furnishes: two radiata pine kraft pulps, a ...

There is a general interest among paper and board makers to produce lighter and bulkier paper and board products. The aim of the present study was to characterize chemically crosslinked hardwood kraft fibers regarding their potential in making bulky paper and board. Crosslinking agents are molecules that contain two or more reactive ends that form inter-chain covalent bonds with cellulosic hydr...

Assistant Professor of Chemistry, Medical College, Calcutta, The dried pulp of the mango (Mangifera Indica) contains such a large amount of Citric Acid as to make this common fruit not at all an inefficient substitute for lime-juice when the latter cannot readily be obtained as an antiscorbutic. A quantitative analysis of three different samples of mango-pulp, which had been dried by exposure t...

Fiber rich white fibers are antioxidants reduce cholesterol. lime is not ripe on other hand, get ripe. Lime smaller than a lemon, its bark green, it less juicy but still sour. fruit that can be dried vari...

in a 3×3 latin square design, 9 ok and multipaous lactating holstein cows averaging 76 ± 12 days in milk and 580±48 kg of body weight were assigned to three dietary treatments in 3 periods of 21 days. dietary treatments were 1) the control diet (without dried or ensiled tomato pulp), 2) diet with 8% dried tomato pulp (dm basis) and 3) diet with 8% ensiled tomato pulp silage (dm basis). tomato p...

In this study, the effect of drying procedure on the pigment levels of three traditionally used medicinal plants were determined and the contribution of the pigment compounds to the overall biological potential of these plant species was examined. The contents of total phenols, anthocyanins, carotenoids and chlorophylls a and b were determined spectrophotometrically, in fresh lemon balm (Meliss...

The effects of air-drying and freeze-drying on the extraction yields and quality of oils from Quebec sea buckthorn (cv. Indian-summer) seeds and pulp were studied. Oil extractions were carried out using hexane. Air-dried (ADS) and freeze-dried (FDS) seeds, gave a similar extraction yields ( 12% w/w), whereas those of air-dried (ADP) and freeze-dried (FDP) pulps were significantly different (35....

Most of the citrus fruits grown worldwide are oranges of various varieties. More than half of these are processed and have their juice extracted. The resultant wet citrus waste has been used for over 60 years as a source of feed for livestock. Most citrus pulp is now dried for convenience of storage and transport prior to feeding to ruminant livestock. Brazil and the U.S.A. are the largest expo...

Broiler chickens were fed on a control diet based on maize or on diets including conventionally-dried (standard pulp) or vacuum-dried (Fipec pulp) sugar-beet pulp at inclusion levels of 23, 46 and 92 g/kg. Diets were fed ad lib. except for half of the chickens fed on the control diet which were fed twice daily at a restricted level. Although not statistically significant, chickens given the 23 ...
