Evaluation of organic matter stability during the composting process of agroindustrial wastes. [PDF]
Composting of wastes from citrus industrial processing (pastazzo and sludge) was studied in order to evaluate the evolution of organic matter during the process and to individuate chemical and/or biochemical techniques able to set the stability of the ...

COPPER PHYTOTOXICITY TO YOUNG CITRUS TREES AS INFLUENCED BY SOIL pH [PDF]
The aim of this study was to investigate soil pH and copper (Cu) interactions affecting Cu phytotoxicity to young citrus trees on different rootstocks. Hamlin oranges on either Carrizo citrange, sour orange, or rough lemon rootstocks were grown on Candler fine sand at varying soil pH (5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 6.5) without additional Cu or soil applied Cu (liquid

DNA amplified fingerprinting, a useful tool for determination of genetic origin and diversity analysis in Citrus [PDF]
We used three short repetitive nucleotide sequences [(GTG)5, (TAC)5, and (GACA)4] either as radiolabeled probes for hybridization with restricted Citrus DNA or as single primers in polymerase chain reaction amplification experiments with total genomic ...

Rheological surface properties of commercial citrus pectins at different pH and concentration
Abstract The interfacial activity of commercial low-methoxy (LM) and high-methoxy (HM) pectins from citrus peel was investigated at air-water interfaces by focusing on the role of their molecular weight (MW) and degree of methoxylation (DM). A pendant drop tensiometer was used to carry out transient interfacial tension measurements and small ...

Effects of Addition of Different Types and Amounts of Citrus Fibers on the Yield and Quality of Sauced Beef [PDF]
In this study, we studied the effect of the addition of citrus fibers on the yield and quality of sauced beef. Sauced beef added with different types of citrus fibers (CF100L80, CF400L80 and CF100H60) by tumbling at different amounts (0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5%)

Regulation of Vacuolar pH in Citrus limon [PDF]
The primary objective of this grant was to characterize the vacuolar V-ATPase of lemon fruits. Lemon fruit vacuoles have an internal pH of about 2.5. Since a typical plant vacuole has a luminal pH of around 5.5, the lemon fruit V-APTase must have special properties which allow it to acidify the lumen to such a low pH: (1) it might have a different ...

pH-Dependent Yield and Physicochemical Properties of Pectin Isolated from Citrus Maxima
Citrus maxima white pith was utilized for the isolation of pectin under acidified condition using L-(+)-tartaric acid, at extraction pH in the range of 1.0 and 2.0. The extraction yield and physicochemical properties (ash content, equivalent weight, methoxy content, anhydrouronic acid, degree of esterification) of the isolated pectin was investigated ...
