‘Aliza’ is a new pomelo × mandarin hybrid (Citrus maxima, cv. Red Chandler Citrus reticulata, Ora) developed by the Israeli citrus breeding program at Volcani Institute. Here, we aimed to characterize quality and flavor of fruit as compared other commercial fruit, specifically (C. maxima), grapefruit paradisi), orange sinensis) reticulata). fruits have similar size grapefruits, but thinner peel...

Abstract Citrus aurantium amara (sour orange) belongs to one of the largest genera Rutaceae family. The species this genus are consumed worldwide as fresh or in form beverages. They include well-known crops lemons, oranges, mandarins, grapefruits, and limes. industrial processing these fruits produces high amounts waste (around 50%) which is a valuable source essential oils. Since they produced...

The essential oil industry is a growing sector that generates 5.41 billion USD annually worldwide. Essential oils are widely used in medicine, agriculture, and perfumery. Although there available systems the market for domestic extraction, replacing entire equipment case of repair or malfunction can be costly. To address this problem, pilot-scale extractor system was developed operates through ...

Hydro-Distillation (HD), Cold Pressing (CP) and Microwave Clevenger or microwave Accelerated Distillation (MAD) methods have been compared and evaluated for their efficiency in the extraction of essential oil (EO) from fresh Citrus peels. EO from peel of 4 varieties of Algerian sweet orange (C. sinensis), Lemons (C. limon), Citrons (C. medica), sour orange (C. aurantium), grapefruits (C. paradi...

Plants contain a flavonoid called naringin, which has variety of medicinal uses. Tomatoes, grapefruits, and other citrus fruits the flavanone glycoside known as 4′,5,7-trihydroxyflavanone-7-rhamnoglucoside. There are seven enzyme-catalyzed stages in phenylpropanoid route, runs from phenylalanine to prunin. Naringin possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, antioxidant effects. been shown have im...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of maturity stages on physicochemical characteristics grapefruit (Citrus paradisi cv. ‘Shamber Tarnab’) under storage conditions for 60 days at ambient temperature (16±1 °C with 55-60% relative humidity). Grapefruits were harvested different stages, namely mature green (MG) and full ripe (FR). fruits both assessed physical quality parameter...

The abundant flavonoid aglycone, naringenin, which is responsible for the bitter taste in grapefruits, has been shown to possess hypolipidemic and anti-inflammatory effects both in vitro and in vivo. Recently, our group demonstrated that naringenin inhibits hepatitis C virus (HCV) production, while others demonstrated its potential in the treatment of hyperlipidemia and diabetes. However, narin...

Transient receptor potential melastatin 3 (TRPM3) is a calcium-permeable nonselective cation channel that is expressed in a subset of dorsal root (DRG) and trigeminal ganglia sensory neurons. TRPM3 can be activated by the neurosteroid pregnenolone sulfate (PregS) and heat. TRPM3⁻/⁻ mice display an impaired sensation of noxious heat and thermal hyperalgesia. We have previously shown that TRPM3 i...
