Naringenin, a flavonoid belonging to the flavanones subclass has been reported have several promising biological activities like antioxidant, antitumor, anticancer, antiviral, anti-inflammatory & estrogenic activities. Naringin is found in glycosidic form citrus fruits grapefruit, orange, and lemons. Naringenin obtained by hydrolysis of glycoside naringin. In present study, environmentally ...

Hesperidin is abundantly present as a flavanone glycoside in citrus fruits. The peels, seeds, pulp, and cell membrane residues contain high amount of hesperidin. It has received scientific momentum lately it offers several health benefits upon consumption, possesses antioxidant, anti-hypocholesteric, antitumor, anticancer, antimicrobial, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic propertie...

Activated carbon has been prepared from Citrus limettioides peel (CLPC); a novel waste material by chemical modification with sulphuric acid followed by bicarbonate treatment applied for the adsorption of Ni(II) from aqueous solutions. Batch experiments have been carried out to study the effect of various parameters such as contact time, pH and adsorbent dosage on various Ni(II) concentrations ...

Dehydrated citrus pulp and citrus pulp-protein supplements were evaluated as potential supplements for a preconditioning program. The supplements compared were no supplement, citrus pulp alone, citrus pulp with urea, and citrus pulp with added UIP. Supplemented cattle produced greater gains than unsupplemented cattle. Citrus pulp with added UIP produced the greatest ADG (0.95 lb/hd/d) whereas c...

Citrus oil is a clear volatile oil with a pleasant pungent odor. The material furnished for these experiments was extracted from citrus peel and is double distilled. Citrus peel oil mixed with dehydrated gum turpentine in the proportions of 80 per cent and 20 per cent respectively, has been used commercially as a deodorant and an insect repellant. Because of its penetrating properties citrus oi...

This study examines the sorption of methylene blue on the cheap unconventional bio sorbents, citrus fruits: oranges and lemons. Bio sorbents which was used was: orange and lemon peel, seeds and pulp. The results are compared with results of sorption to mineral sorbents, zeolite clinoptilolite, Pyrolox and Birm. Sorption kinetics and the influence of pH on the sorption of methylene blue on orang...

AIM Study was conducted to ascertain the quality of Kinnow mandarin waste (KMW) silage and its utilization by adult male goats. MATERIALS AND METHODS KMW was collected, dried to 30% dry matter level and ensiled in silo pit after addition of disodium hydrogen orthophosphate as source of phosphorus as KMW is deficient in phosphorus. Oat was collected at milking stage, chopped finely and ensiled...
