Publication date: 20 January 2016 Source:Carbohydrate Polymers, Volume 136 Author(s): Ruizhan Chen, Chenguang Jin, Zhigang Tong, Juan Lu, Li Tan, Li Tian, Qingquan Chang Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize the microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) process of pectic polysaccharide (TPPs) from tangerines peel. The optimal extraction conditions were as follows: microwave power 704W, extraction temperature 52.2°C, and extraction time 41.8min Under these conditions, the experimental yield was 19.9±0.2%. The purified pectic polysaccharide TPPs-2-1 was successfully obtained by anion-excha...

Nobiletin Stimulates Chloride Secretion in Human Bronchial Epithelia via a cAMP/PKA-Dependent Pathway
Conclusion: Nobiletin stimulated transepithelial Cl- secretion across human bronchial epithelia. The mechanisms involved activation of adenylate cyclase- and cAMP/PKA-dependent pathways, leading to activation of apical CFTR Cl- channels.Cell Physiol Biochem 2015;37:306-320 (Source: Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry)

Changes in the Composition of Aromatherapeutic Citrus Oils during Evaporation.
Authors: Francis GW, Bui YT
Abstract
The composition of some commercial Citrus oils, lemon, sweet orange, and tangerine, designated for aromatherapy, was examined before and after partial evaporation in a stream of nitrogen. The intact oils contained the expected mixtures of mono- and sesquiterpenes, with hydrocarbons dominating and lesser amounts of oxygenated analogues making up the remainder. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to follow alterations in the relative amounts of the various components present as evaporation proceeded. Changes were marked, and in particular more volatile component...

Contributors : Yun Zhong ; Chunzhen ChengSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Citrus reticulataRoot samples of ‘Sanhu’ red tangerine trees infected with and without Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) were collected at 50 days post inoculation and subjected to RNA-sequencingto profile the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) . Results showed that a total of 3956 genes were differentially regulated by HLB-infection. Comparison between our results and those of the previously reported showed that known HLB-modulated biological pathways including cell-wall modification, proteas...

Japanese Cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) Pollinosis in Jeju, Korea: Is It Increasing?
CONCLUSIONS: JC pollen is the major outdoor allergen for early spring pollinosis in Jeju. JC pollen season is from late January to mid-April. Warmer weather during the flowering season scatters more JC pollen in the atmosphere, resulting in a higher sensitization rate in atopic individuals and, consequently, making JC pollinosis more prevalent.

Role of a Combination of Seven Micronutrients in the Management of Glioblastoma Multiforme
Sir – We recently reported that polyphenols from Aronia melanocarpa (chokeberry extracts) induced apoptosis and enhanced the cytotoxicity of gemcitabine in a pancreatic cancer cell line [1]. This is in keeping with increasing evidence that several naturally occurring compounds are now recognised as antitumour agents in various cancers. These include micronutrients like selenium as well as polyphenols found in tangerine peel (tangeretin) and turmeric (curcumin). Anecdotal reports and our laboratory-based research have previously indicated their promising therapeutic potential for the management of malignant brain tumours ...

Bioavailability of plant sterol-enriched milk-based fruit beverages: In vivo and in vitro studies
This study for the first time compares the in vivo (response in serum from individuals of an interventional study) and in vitro effects (bioaccessibility determined from simulated gastrointestinal digestion) of two plant sterol (PS)-enriched milk-based fruit beverages (with and without tangerine fruit juice rich in β-cryptoxanthin (β-Cx)) in order to assess their suitability as PS-enriched food matrixes, and the possible interactions between the two bioactive compounds (β-Cx and PS) that might affect their absorption. The randomized, double-blind, crossover study (performed in 36 postmenopausal women) showed the β-sito...

Enhanced bioavailability of lycopene when consumed as cis‐isomers from tangerine compared to red tomato juice, a randomized, cross‐over clinical trial
Conclusions: Lycopene is markedly more bioavailable from tangerine than from red tomato juice, consistent with a predominance of cis‐lycopene isomers and presence in chromoplasts in a lipid dissolved globular state. These results justify using tangerine tomatoes as a lycopene source in studies examining the potential health benefits of lycopene‐rich foods.This article is protected by copyright.

In vivo Induction of Tetraploid in Tangerine Citrus Plants (Citrus reticulata Blanco) with the Use of Colchicine.
Abstract
This in vivo experiment was carried out at Sakhon Nakhon Rajabhat University, Sakhon Nakhon Province, Thailand during March-October 2013. The study aims to search for some possibilities in inducing a large number of tetraploid sets of chromosomes in tangerine citrus seedlings with the use of colchicine chemical. A Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications was used. Seeds of tangerine citrus were treated with colchicine solutions. The experiment consisted of seven treatments, i.e., T1 with 0.0% colchicine (control), T2 with 0.2% colchicine solution and submerged for 12 h, T3 wi...

Reactive oxygen species in the citrus fungal pathogen Alternaria alternata: The roles of NADPH-dependent oxidase
Publication date: October 2014 Source:Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 88 Author(s): Kuang-Ren Chung The tangerine pathotype of Alternaria alternata relies on the production of a host-selective toxin to colonize its host plants. Studies have shown that the ability to mitigate the toxicity of reactive oxygen species (ROS) also is required for pathogenesis. Considerable advances have been made in the understanding of the mechanisms by which A. alternata is protected from deleterious effects of ROS. A. alternata is capable of producing ROS by a membrane-bound NADPH oxidase (Nox), which plays regulato...
