The chemical composition and functional activities of cold-pressed and water distilled peel essential oils of Citrus paradisi (C. paradisi) and Citrus grandis (L.) Osbeck (C. grandis) were investigated in present study. Yields of cold-pressed oils were much higher than those of distilled oils. Limonene was the primary ingredient of essential oils of C. paradisi (cold 92.83%; distilled 96.06%) a...

BACKGROUND This work aims at describing the traditional uses, to determine the antimicrobial potential of two different extracts hexane, acetone of the leaves of Citrus unshiu, Citrus sinensis, Citrus limon, Laurus nobilis, Citrus paradisi on clinical strain of H. pylori in a bid to identify potential sources of cheap starting materials for the synthesis of new drugs. H. pylori strain was a cul...

the red flour beetle, tribolium castaneum (herbst), is one of the most destructive pests attacking stored grain products all over the world. serious problems assossiated with using synthetic chemical insecticides have strongly demonstrated the need for applying alternative safe compounds such as plant essential oils. the present experiment was conducted to evaluate fumigant toxicity of essentia...

background: recently, essential oils and extracts derived from plants have received much interest as potential bioactive agents against mosquito vectors. methods: the essential oils extract from fresh peel of ripe fruit of citrus aurantium and citrus paradisi were tested against mosquito vector anopheles stephensi (diptera: culicidae) under laboratory condition. then chemical com­position of th...

Throughout the history of citrus production in Florida one of the diseases with a major impact has been the Asian form of citrus greening (HLB), which was first detected in 2005. As a response to this introduction, new survey and detection methods had to be developed utilizing field observations directed not only to corroborate symptoms already reported in the literature, but to describe any va...

Efficacy of essential oils extracted from peel of various citrus species; Citrus reticulata, Citrus sinensis, Citrus paradisi and Citrus grandis were determined against the adults of Callosobruchus chinensis and Tribolium castaneum as well as against the larvae of Trogoderma granarium in order to find out safe alternatives of high toxics. Four concentrations of each oil; 2%, 4%, 6% and 8% were ...

ABSTRACT Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. allii is phenotypically and genetically diverse and its relationship to other X. axonopodis pathovars within DNA homology group 9.2 is unknown. In growth chamber experiments, disease symptoms were produced on onion only by inoculation with X. axonopodis pv. allii. Citrus bacterial spot symptoms were induced by X. axonopodis pvs. alfalfae, itrumelo, and allii ...
