The chemical composition of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas var. Portu Orange), grown in Ukraine, was studied to determine its potential shortbread technology. Orange has a high content starch (11.2 %), natural sugars (4.7 dietary fiber (3.8 %) and food pigments. To obtain the highest quality characteristics preserve antioxidant properties during drying, an innovative microwave vacuum drying meth...

This study was conducted to determine the antimicrobial activity of methanol and ethanol extracts of peels of pomegranate (Punica grana), orange (Citrus siensis) and lemon (Limona taris) against four foodborne pathogens (Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella Typhimurium, Escherichia coli and methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and a food spoilage bacterium (Pseudomonas fluorescens. I...

Ann R Coll Surg Engl 2012; 94: 359–372 Many lower extremity, pelvic and acetabular fractures require traction as first aid management prior to definitive fixation. While skin traction and Thomas splints are generally available, weights to provide countertraction are often missing or in parts of the hospital remote to the emergency department. A sharps bin (Sharpsguard® orange 11.5; Daniels, Oxf...

The secretion from the hippopotamus’ skin changes its color from colorless to red, and then brown by polymerization of its pigments. The responsible pigments for the coloring reaction were isolated and denoted as hipposudoric acid (the red pigment) and norhipposudoric acid (the orange pigment). The syntheses of these pigments and the related derivatives were performed, and the latter were of us...

Sir. Xanthoderma is any yellow to yellow-orange macular discolouration of the skin. Jaundice and earotenoderma are the primary differential diagnosis in patients with xanthoderma due to a high serum concentration of bilirubin. There are other less common causes of both generalized and localized xanthoderma. Jaundice is generalized skin pigmentation due to high serum concentration of bilirubin, ...
