Spectral sensitivities of photoreceptors in the turtle (Geoclemys) retina were studied by intracellular recording, and each cell was filled with Lucifer yellow (LY). Photoreceptors were classified into seven morphological types: rod, four types of single cones, and two members of a double cone. Single cones contained one of four different oil droplets: red, pale-green, orange, and clear. Double...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the effect of chloroform, eucalyptol and orange oil solvents on the microhardness of human root dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-eight single-rooted single-canal extracted human premolar teeth were used. Tooth crowns were separated from the roots at the cementoenamel junction (CEJ). Roots were buccolingually sectioned into mesial and distal halves. Spe...

abstract: due to the importance of essential oils and their use in various industries, the essential oils of four types of citrus consisting of orange (c. sinesis), tangerine (c. reticulate), sweet lemon (c. limetta) and sour lemon (c. limon) were extracted and subjected to chemical analysis to identify and evaluate the chemical constituents of the oils. the average essential oils of orange, ta...

BACKGROUND The constituents in a food emulsion interact with each other, either physically or chemically, determining the overall physico-chemical and organoleptic properties of the final product. Thus, the main objective of present study was to investigate the effect of emulsion components on beverage emulsion properties. RESULTS In most cases, the second-order polynomial regression models w...

Alstromeria has beautiful flowers that is popular in the world. One of the most problem in commercial of this flower is ethylene sensitivity and bacterial contamination in stem end of cut flowers. In this experiment, effect of essential oils of bitter orange (0, 25 and 50 mg l-1) and lawson cypress (0, 100 and 200 mg l-1) and nonchemical treatment (with and without) with 18 treatments, 3 replic...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the solubility of three restorative materials exposed to the different endodontic solvents. MATERIALS AND METHODS The organic solvents eucalyptus oil, xylol, chloroform, and orange oil, with distilled water as the control group was utilized. The restorative materials light-cured resin (Filtek Z250/3M ESPE), light-cured-resin-reinforced glass ionomer (Riva Light Cure LC/S...

Citrus aurantium L., commonly known as bitter orange, is widely used in folk medicine, but there is little data in the literature about the effects on pregnancy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of essential oil obtained from fruits of Citrus aurantium on the maternal reproductive outcome and fetal anomaly incidence in rats. Pregnant Wistar rats were randomized into fo...

Orange bagasse comprising pulp tissues, rind, and seeds, constitutes a major industrial food waste arising from processing oranges for juice, and represents a fermentation feedstock for the production of enzymes. Botryosphaeria rhodina MAMB-05 grown on essential oils-extracted orange bagasse in submerged (SmF) and solid-state fermentation (SSF) with and without added nutrients produced pectinas...

Essential oils obtained from certain plants have repellent potency against insects such as mosquitoes. Most repellents on the market synthetic formulation of N, N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) main active ingredient. This study is an attempt to contribute search for effective plant-extracted essential oil, Neem and Orange alternative DEET. The oil Citrus sinensis (sweet orange) peels was ext...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the solubility of gutta-percha in four organic solvents used in endodontics. The solubility of gutta-percha (Dentsply) was assessed in xylol, orange oil, eucalyptol, chloroform and distilled water. A hundred and fifty samples of gutta-percha were prepared using a standardized stainless steel mould and divided into five groups for immersion in the different ...
