The present investigation reported the chemical composition of cold pressed Gannan navel orange peel essential oil (EO) and its molecular distillation fraction (light phase EO), and examined their antimicrobial activity against spoiling and pathogenic microorganisms. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis identified 27 and 20 different chemical constituents in cold pressed EO and light phase EO, respectively. Limonene was the major constituent, accounting for 85.32% of cold pressed EO and 60.44% of light phase EO. Both EOs and some of their constituents showed good antimicrobial activity. Compared to cold pressed EO, light phase EO exhibited the better antimicrobial activity under weak acidic and neutral conditions. The light phase EO presented a higher antimicrobial activity after thermo-treatment at 60–100°C for 20 min than cold pressed EO. These results demonstrated that light phase EO had a potential to be used as a novel antimicrobial agent for food preservation and food processing.

The aim of this work was to prepare soluble dietary fibers (SDFs) from insoluble dietary fiber of navel orange peel (NOP-IDF) by mixed solid-state fermentation (M-SDF) and to investigate the influence of fermentation modification on the structural and functional characteristics of SDF in comparison with untreated soluble dietary fiber (U-SDF) of NOP-IDF. Based on this, the contribution of two kinds of SDF to the texture and microstructure of jelly was further examined. The analysis of scanning electron microscopy indicated that M-SDF exhibited a loose structure. The analysis of scanning electron microscopy indicated that M-SDF exhibited a loose structure. In addition, M-SDF exhibited increased molecular weight and elevated thermal stability, and had significantly higher relative crystallinity than U-SDF. Fermentation modified the monosaccharide composition and ratio of SDF, as compared to U-SDF. The above results pointed out that the mixed solid-state fermentation contributed to alteration of the SDF structure. Furthermore, the water holding capacity and oil holding capacity of M-SDF were 5.68 ± 0.36 g/g and 5.04 ± 0.04 g/g, which were about six times and two times of U-SDF, respectively. Notably, the cholesterol adsorption capacity of M-SDF was highest at pH 7.0 (12.88 ± 0.15 g/g) and simultaneously exhibited better glucose adsorption capacity. In addition, jellies containing M-SDF exhibited a higher hardness of 751.15 than U-SDF, as well as better gumminess and chewiness. At the same time, the jelly added with M-SDF performed a homogeneous porous mesh structure, which contributed to keeping the texture of the jelly. In general, M-SDF displayed much excellent structural and functional properties, which could be utilized to develop functional food.Keywords:navel orange peel;soluble dietary fiber;mixed solid-state fermentation;structural and functional properties;jelly

In this study, β-cyclodextrin-encapsulated navel orange essential oil (NOEO) microcapsules were integrated into a chitosan (CS)/zein-stabilized Pickering emulsion. This formed an edible composite coating with dual sustained-release functionality. It is worth noting, in order to improve the antibacterial and antioxidant properties of chitosan, p-coumaric acid (PCA) was grafted onto chitosan. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed successful PCA grafting onto chitosan. Hydrogen bonding potentially existed among coating components. Scanning electron microscopy verified NOEO's stable presence within the composite film. The NOEO emulsion exhibited a 4.8 μm average particle size with excellent physical stability. Compared to pure CS coating, the composite coating demonstrated a 30.3% improvement in waterproof performance. Antibacterial inhibition diameters reached 14.3 mm against both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, and 15.3 mm against Alternaria alternata. Antioxidant capacity increased to 88.2%. Sustained-release experiments showed microcapsules enhanced essential oil release efficiency by 31%. Applied to cherry tomatoes, the coating effectively delayed senescence and decay while maintaining product quality during 16-day storage at 25 °C.The composite coating material developed in this study exhibits dual advantages of environmental benignity and economic feasibility, demonstrating promising potential for applications in postharvest quality maintenance of horticultural produce.

Background and Aims The heap leaching technique causes considerable damage to environment during the mining of ionic rare earth ore in southern China. Restoration of abandoned mining sites into arable land requires determination of the contents of rare earth elements (REEs) and non-rare earth toxic elements in soil and crops. Methods In the present study, five treatments, including rare earth tailings without any amendment or navel orange cultivation (RET), biochar and fly ash combined with three organic fertilizers (cow manure organic fertilizer [CF], pig manure organic fertilizer [PF], sugarcane bagasse organic fertilizer [SF]), and a treatment without any amendments (CK) were arranged to explore the effects of different treatments on rare earth and non-rare earth toxic elements contents in soil and crops. Results Total EDTA-extractable concentrations of REEs in CF, PF, and SF soils were 42.8%, 26.7%, and 30.5% lower than that those in CK, respectively. Total EDTA-extractable concentrations of non-REEs in the CF, PF, and SF, soils were significantly higher than those in the CK, with the highest in PF, at 337.5%. Compared with CK, all treatments reduced total REEs in navel orange leaves, peel, and pulp. Besides, total rare earth and non-rare earth toxic elements contents in the pulp of the all-treatments navel oranges were all lower than the pollutant limit values for food. Conclusions Use of biochar, fly ash, and SF is the optimal strategy for improving ionic rare earth tailings soil, and navel orange cultivation, is a potential strategy for remediating such abandoned mining sites.

Porous carbon-based composite phase change materials (CPCMs) have received widespread attention from researchers for their stable shape and considerable latent heat storage capacity. Here, using navel orange peel-based porous carbon (BPC) as the support carrier, nano-Ag as the surface modification material and polyethylene glycol (PEG) for the phase change medium, a novel PEG/BPC-Ag (Ag@CPCM) was fabricated by vacuum impregnation. Surprisingly, the experimental results indicated that nano-Ag modified the BPC could make the Ag@CPCM have stronger photo-thermal conversion ability, higher thermal conductivity and better thermal reliability. Significantly, the addition of nano-Ag increased the thermal conductivity of navel orange peel-based CPCMs to 0.639 W/m K (Ag@CPCM) from 0.313 W/m K (PEG/BPC), and its relative enthalpy efficiency η raised to 107.2 % from 104.8 %, and its photo-thermal conversion efficiency θ increased to 94.7 % from 77.2 %. Furthermore, the prepared novel CPCMs maintained its original phase change properties after 100 thermal cycles of testing, which demonstrated that the prepared CPCMs possessed favorable thermal stability and reusability . Overall, the Ag@CPCM materials have great potential for applications such as thermal management and solar energy storage.

Numerous previous studies have reported the extraction of flavonoids from orange peels, but a green and efficient approach suitable for the large-scale industrial production of flavonoids with versatile and excellent biological activities is still lacking. To tackle this issue, two easily accessible extraction methods, namely heat reflux (HR) and ultrasonication (US), coupled with four solvents (95% ethanol, 70% aqueous ethanol solution, methanol, and ethyl acetate), were used in the present study to extract flavonoids from navel orange peel, followed by chemical profile and biological activity (antioxidant, antibacterial, antiglycation, and enzyme inhibition) evaluation of all extracts obtained. The highest total phenolic content (TPC, 336.56 μmol GAE/g), total flavonoid content (TFC, 1194.31 μmol QE/g), flavonoid glycosides content (FGs, 461.82 mg/g), and the best antioxidant (IC 50 = 21.35 mg/L for ABTS assay) and α-glucosidase inhibition (IC 50 = 49.38 mg/L) activities, were found in the extract obtained by HR using ethyl acetate (EtOAc HR). However, the extract obtained by US with ethyl acetate (EtOAc US) contained the highest content of polymethoxyflavones (PMFs, 152.07 mg/g), and showed the most potent antiglycation (IC 50 = 71.26 mg/L), antibacterial (MIC = 0.078 mg/mL against MRSA), and acetylcholinesterase inhibition (AChE, IC 50 = 179.19 mg/L) activities compared to the other extracts. Furthermore, Pearson's correlation analysis was performed. This study provides simple and cost-effective methods for the preparation of orange peel extracts rich in flavonoids and versatile in biological activities, which will greatly contribute to the valorization of orange peel in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries .

The fermentation of navel orange juice with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) has rarely been investigated. In this study, an autochthonous LAB strain isolated from navel orange, Lactiplantibacillus paraplantarum M23, was found to effectively ferment navel orange juice, producing a juice with enhanced functional activities and organoleptic quality. The viable bacterial count in the fermented orange juice remained consistently above 8.51 log CFU/mL throughout the entire 7-day fermentation period. The content of vitamin C (VC), total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and hesperidin in the fermented orange juice increased by a maximum of 28.88, 1.21, 1.13, and 1.16 times, respectively, compared to the unfermented orange juice. The fermented juice exhibited significantly higher antioxidant activity than the unfermented juice, with an increase of up to 255 % and 347 % based on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays, respectively. This may be attributed to the increase in VC and flavonoids, as demonstrated by Pearson's correlation analysis. Additionally, the fermented orange juice demonstrated improved α-glucosidase inhibition, anti-MRSA, and anti-glycation activities compared to the unfermented juice. Furthermore, the fermented juice notably reduced the levels of NO and ROS in Raw 264.7 cells without any negative impact on cell viability. The findings of this study may help in the development of nutritious and healthy fermented navel orange juice products, and serve as a reference for the production of fermented beverages from other fruits using autochthonous strains.

Dietary fiber (DF) is a carrier of abundant bound polyphenols (BP). The present work was to investigate the release characteristic and mechanism of BP from the insoluble dietary fiber of navel orange peel (NOP-IDF) by mixed solid-state fermentation (SSF) with Trichoderma reesei and Aspergillus niger . The optimized fermentation conditions were set as follows: inoculation ratio of T. reesei to A. niger 3:1, delayed inoculation time 28 h and initial pH 6.5. The compositions of BP were identified and quantified by UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS/MS and HPLC-ESI-QQQ-MS/MS, then the biotransformation pathways were partially speculated. Moreover, cellulase, xylanase and β -glucosidase activities were strongly correlated with the BP content. The SEM showed the cell wall and the crystalline structure of the NOP-IDF was effectively decomposed. Furthermore, mixed SSF significantly enhanced in vitro antioxidant activities of BP. In summary, our study demonstrated that mixed SSF was a feasible method for the BP release.
