A new type of interaction in which fruit juices diminish oral drug bioavailability through inhibition of uptake transport is the focus of this review. The discovery was based on an opposite to anticipated finding when assessing the possibility of grapefruit juice increasing oral fexofenadine bioavailability in humans through inhibition of intestinal MDR1-mediated efflux transport. In follow-up ...

The presumptive test for the determination of coliforms in food products is based on the inoculation of tubes of lactose broth with specified amounts of the material (A.P.H.A., 1946). Fermentation of the sugar with formation of gas indicates a positive presumptive test for coliforms. This test was originally developed for the examination of water and milk samples, but in recent years it has bee...

sour cherry and orange juice were successfully cryoconcentrated. novel clarification (electro-flotation and ultra-filtration) improved cryconcentration efficiency. ef-uf clarified sour cherry and orange juices were cryoconcentrated in three stages up to 34.52±0.14, 44.42±0.19, 52.44±0.13 and 28.43±0.16, 40.51±0.15, and 45.42±0.19° brix at -10˚c respectively. duncan's multiple range test was use...

For a number of years, due to the compatability of citrus juice and milk, the citrus and dairy farmers looked for a suitable means of processing and packaging citrus juice for distribution by dairy route trucks. With the advent of chilled orange juice, this was ac complished. Cartoned, or chilled orange juice as it is commonly called, is a single strength orange juice, marketed in a waxed fiber...

Background: HCV causes alterations in liver metabolism, resulting in biochemical and nutritional disorders. Supplementation with antioxidants has been suggested to minimize the diseases effects. Objective: This study assessed whether orange juice, a source of citrus flavonoids and vitamin C, may contribute to the treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis C. Design: Anthropometric, hemodynami...

OBJECTIVE Hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease. Therapeutic lifestyle changes include dietary modifications such as inclusion of phytosterols, which effectively lowers low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in margarines and other fats. Their effectiveness in nonfat moieties is not yet established. The aim of this study was to examine if phytosterols alter ...

OBJECTIVE This study investigated how consumption of orange juice associated with aerobic training affected serum lipids and physical characteristics of overweight, middle-aged women. METHODS The experimental group consisted of 13 women who consumed 500 mL/d of orange juice and did 1h aerobic training 3 times a week for 3 months. The control group consisted of another 13 women who did the sam...

BACKGROUND Research indicates that the chronic consumption of flavonoids is associated with cognitive benefits in adults with mild cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative disease, although to our knowledge, there have been no such studies in healthy older adults. Furthermore, the effects of commonly consumed orange juice flavanones on cognitive function remain unexplored. OBJECTIVE We inve...

BACKGROUND We assessed the bioavailability of orange juice (poly)phenols by monitoring urinary flavanone metabolites and ring fission catabolites produced by the action of the colonic microbiota. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to identify and quantify metabolites and catabolites excreted in urine 0-24 h after the acute ingestion of a (poly)phenol-rich orange juice by 12 volunteers. DESIGN Twel...
