Kepok banana (Musa paradisiaca L.) is one of the most commonly consumed bananas in Indonesia. Apart from fruit, other potentially used peel. peel rich flavonoids which has function as antioxidants that protect skin free radicals. In this study, we optimized and conducted physical characterization for peels peel-off gel mask. The aim research was to optimize mask analized characteristics gel. fo...

Bananas (Musa acuminata, AAA group) fail to develop a yellow peel and stay green when ripening at temperatures >24 degrees C. The identification of the mechanisms leading to the development of stay-green ripe bananas has practical value and is helpful in revealing pathways involved in the regulation of chlorophyll (Chl) degradation. In the present study, the Chl degradation pathway was characte...

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of irradiation from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on several fruits during storage. To improve storage and increase the contents of some bioactive compounds, apple, tomato and red bell pepper fruits were exposed to yellow light emitted from the diodes at 590 nm. The contents of ascorbic acid, total phenolics, total flavonoids and several ...

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is a native plant, which has many different cultivars in Iran. This plant consists of rich biochemical compounds that plays an important role in human health. This research aims to study some of biochemical compounds of this valuable fruit. Extract of pell and seeds and juice of fruits were prepared. According to the outcomes of this study, the...

Present study has been under taken to evaluate the nutraceutical significance of bioflavonoid naringin, from pummelo fruit peel. Bioflavonoids were selectively extracted from the pummelo fruit peel meal without any interference of pectin using aqueous ethanol as solvent. Significant naringin content of 0.440.02g/100g of peel was found in fruit peel meal. For selective fractionation and concent...

Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) fruit peel, the main byproduct during the manufacture of tea seed oil, was used as raw material for the recovery of phenolic antioxidants. The effect of ethanol concentration, extraction time, and extraction temperature on total phenolic content (TPC) and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of the extracts from tea fruit peel was investigated. The maximum predict...
