Total fruit intake in the United States is ~1 cup equivalent per day, or one-half of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommendation for adults. Two-thirds of the fruit consumed is whole fruit and one-third is 100% juice. The nutritional value of whole fruit, with the exception of fiber and vitamin C, may be retained with appropriate juice production methods and storage conditions. One...

Epidemiological evidence strongly suggests that fruit consumption promotes many health benefits. Despite the general consensus that fruit and juice are nutritionally similar, epidemiological results for juice consumption are conflicting. Our objective was to use DNA methylation marks to characterize fruit and juice epigenetic signatures within PBMCs and identify shared and independent signature...

Fruit juice-drug interactions involving drug transporters and metabolic enzymes have been studied with various citrus fruit juices. The collective data led us to hypothesize that the modulating activity of citrus fruit juices on cellular transport and metabolic pathways is dependent on the dominant flavonoid pattern and taxonomy of the citrus fruits. This hypothesis has important implications g...

pomegranate is native to subtropical regions of iran. losses of horticultural products are a major problem in the postharvest chain. in this experiment, six different wrapping (polyethylene and paper covering), chemical (calcium chloride and wax) and thermal (4 °c and outdoor) treatments were applied on the fruits of pomegranate cv shirin kolbad and some physicochemical properties were measured...

Lactobacillus plantarum BET003 isolated from Momordica charantia fruit was used to ferment its juice. Momordica charantia fresh juice was able to support good growth of the lactic acid bacterium. High growth rate and cell viability were obtained without further nutrient supplementation. In stirred tank reactor batch fermentation, agitation rate showed significant effect on specific growth rate ...

abstract to study the effects of different levels of n, mn and zn on yield and quality of pomegranate fruit a factorial experiment based on complete randomized block design with 18 treatments and three replications was conducted in behshahr city, mazandaran province, in 2009.investigated treatments were include: nitrogen, manganese, zinc. fertilizer source for nitrogen was urea and three rates ...

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) were used to determine the aromatic composition and aroma active compounds of fruit juice and peel oil of Jinchen sweet orange fruit. Totals of 49 and 32 compounds were identified in fruit juice and peel oil, respectively. GC-O was performed to study the aromatic profile of Jinchen fruit juice and peel oil. ...

The present study was conducted to develop functional fibre enriched spent hen meat nuggets (SMN) with incorporation of amla fruit juice powder. Four different products with amla fruit juice powder with the replacement of lean meat viz. 0% (Control), 0.5% (T1), 1.0% (T2) and 1.5% (T3) were prepared and optimum level of amla fruit juice powder was selected on the basis of physico-chemical, proxi...

The study was undertaken to envisage the effect of growth regulators on preharvest fruit drop and quality of Kinnow mandrin (Citrus reticulata Blanco). Various concentration of 2, 4-D, GA3 and NAA were applied during the last week of November, 2005 to check the impact of various treatments on preharvest fruit drop, yield and fruit quality. Exogenous application of growth regulators significantl...
