Changes in nucleotides and ribonucleic acids (RNA) in 'Valencia' orange have been determined as influenced by storage, ethylene, heat and commercial concentrating practices. All treatments tended to lower polymeric RNA species. Patterns of interactions in the case of nucleotides were evident and distinct for certain treatments. Changes in nucleotides may be related to the quality of the process...

Some floral pigments (including antioxidants); carotenoids, chlorophylls, anthocyanins and xanthophylls were determined colorimetrically in some honeybee, Apis mellifera L., products; citrus, clover and cotton honeys, three types of beeswax; white, brown and dark and propolis; brown, dark brown and dark. Two solvents (acetone or ethanol) were used for extraction and determination of pigments at...

citrus is one of the most important fruit crops in iran. among the citriculture areas of iran, mazandaran province has the highest acreage (about 100,000 ha), production and number of varieties nationwide. unauthorized importation of citrus species and cultivars and propagation by growers and nurserymen have led to perpetuation and spread of virus, viroid and other graft-transmissible pathogens...

Herein, we report a draft genome sequence of the endophytic Curtobacterium sp. strain ER1/6, isolated from a surface-sterilized Citrus sinensis branch, and it presented the capability to control phytopathogens. Functional annotation of the ~3.4-Mb genome revealed 3,100 protein-coding genes, with many products related to known ecological and biotechnological aspects of this bacterium.

Activities Objective 1. Evaluate methods of sampling and measuring flavor and nutrition of fresh-cut products to facilitate comparison to traditional shelf life factors.  Barrett and Negre and other colleagues completed work on aroma volatiles and flavor quality in melons. See Vallone et al., 2013 publication.  Cantwell and associates are studying the relationship between ammonia concentratio...

Citrus peels, citrus juices factories waste by-products are valuable functional food. This investigation evaluated activity citrus peels powders fortified biscuits antihyperlipidemic in induced hyperlipidemic rats. 10% fortified biscuits (FB) with peels powders of four citrus groups, namely: Hyperlipidemic basal diet (HLD) + 10% (FB) with Baladi orange peels powder (PP); HLD + 10% FB with 10% A...

Pectin, a plant cell wall polysaccharide, is mainly used in food industries for its gelling and stabilizing properties. In industrial applications, pectin is usually widely extracted from citrus peels, and in some intances, apple pomace is also used. Lime and lemon are the preferred citrus species used in the extraction of pectin, while orange and grapefruit are used less often. In the food ind...
