Mangiferin is a natural xanthonoid with various biological activities. Quantification of mangiferin in fruit peel, pulp, and seed kernel was carried out in 11 Chinese mango (Mangifera indica L.) cultivars. The highest mangiferin content was found in the peel of Lvpimang (LPM) fruit (7.49 mg/g DW). Efficient purification of mangiferin from mango fruit peel was then established for the first time...

the work described here is unique since the low seeded (0-6 seeds per fruit) kinnow (citrus reticulata) germplasm was grown in dense plantation (p p: 1foot and l l: 2 feet) in the niab (nuclear institute for agriculture and biology, faisalabad, pakistan) field. growth and development patterns of the fruits were studied. the low seeded germ-plasm contains 3,500 plants developed through natural a...

there is some report about the hypoglycemic effect of juglans rejia l. leaf in alloxan induced diabetic rats and hypoglycemic effect of its fruit peel administered intra peritoneally. thirty male wistar rats divided into five groups, to evaluate the hypoglycemic and pancreas β-cells regenerative effects of oral methanolic extracts of leaf and fruit peel of walnut. rats were made diabetic by int...

The aim of this study was to assess the bioactive compounds of apple and pear peel and pulp in vitro and their influence on plasma lipids and antioxidant potentials in vivo. The antioxidant potentials measured by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), beta-carotene bleaching (beta-carotene), and nitric oxide inhibition radical scavenging (NO) tests in apple peel and pulp were significantly highe...

Thirty male Wistar rats divided into five groups, to evaluate the hypoglycemic and pancreas β-cells regenerative effects of oral methanolic extracts of leaf and fruit peel of walnut. Rats were made diabetic by int...

INTRODUCTION Fruits of oleaster (Elaeagnus angustifolia L.) were used in traditional medicine to treat various diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the phenol and flavonoid contents and antioxidant activity of methanol extracts from the fruit peel, flesh and seed of seven genotypes of oleaster. METHODS The phenol and flavonoid contents were determined using spectrophoto...

effect of three different levels of fe-eddha foliar application and soil application of nitrogen on some quantitative and qualitative characteristics of apple (cv. fuji) grafted on maling-9 was evaluated. this experiment carried out at the experimental field of tehran university, in 2013. the factorial experiment was carried out as randomized completely block design (rcbd) with three replicatio...

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 ...

The objective of this study was to identify the major antioxidative components present in the peel of rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum), mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) and langsat (Lansium domesticum). The identification and quantification of the major antioxidative components were performed using high performance liquid chromatography at 254 nm. The results showed that ellagic acid and corilagi...
