Studies have shown that oxygenated compounds are important in beverage and food products. It seems that Citrus rootstocks have a profound influence on these factors. The goal of the present study is to investigate on rootstocks and these factors. Peel oil components were extracted using cold-press method and eluted using n-hexane.  All compounds analyzed using GC and GC-MS. Data were analyzed u...

Pectinases find wide application in different industrial applications, e.g., textile, food, tea, paper and pulp, vegetable oil extractions, saccharification of agricultural remains, fermented drinks. Three fungal strains were screened for pectinase production. Results indicated that all are capable producing a enzyme. Penicillium chrysogenum MF318506 showed the highest activity (0.214 U/ml) on ...

The volatile secondary metabolites of essential oils from fruit peel and leaves of variegated pink-fleshed lemon (Citrus x limon) were investigated using GLC and GLC-MS (gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy). Altogether 141 compounds were identified and quantified, accounting for 99.59% and 96.33% of the total hydrodistilled peel and leaf oil, respectively. Limonene occurred in higher am...

Adsorption process is an important technique in separation processes, which is used in heavy metals removal from aqueous solution. Orange peel has been investigated for the adsorption of uranium ions from aqueous solution. The parameters of pH, contact time, initial uranium ion concentration, temperature and adsorbent dose have been investigated in batch experiments. The adsorption kinetics wer...

The present study focuses on the development and characterization of a fibrous assembly from orange peel extract, well known for its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. The investigation includes the extraction of the fibrous assembly from an orange peel extract and its characterization in terms of morphological analysis, elemental analysis, chemical group identification, as well as therm...

• Orange peel oil/HNT addition or crosslinking improved physical properties of films. Samples studied had distinctly different solubilities and visual appearances. oil HNT increased film hydrophobicity. All films other than control displayed antimicrobial activity. Biopolymer-based are natural, renewable, nontoxic biodegradable alternatives to plastic packaging. Despite years ongoing research, ...

The volatile constituents of the essential oils of the peel, flower (neroli) and leaves (petitgrain) of bitter orange (Citrus aurantium L.) growing in Greece were studied by GC-MS. The analytical procedures enabled the quantitative determination of 31 components. More specifically, the components of the essential oils identified were: twelve in the peel, twenty-six in the flowers, and twenty an...

Orange is a member of the Rutaceae family which known as one horticultural crops that widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions southern Asia. Citrus plants such fruit peels are used source essential oil-producing ingredients have antioxidant antimicrobial activity. This study aims to determine potential kaffir lime, calamansi orange peel oils antioxidants antibacterials. Scoping re...

background and objective: in the present study, bacillus polymyxa ncim no. 2539 was selected to utilize agro-industrial byproduct (orange peel) for amylase production under submerged fermentation conditions. material and methods: different agro-industrial byproducts like cane molasses, wheat bran, rice bran and orange peel were screened for maximum amylase production. amylase activitiy of bacil...
