Spectral characterization and biological evaluation of biomolecules from the peels of three orange fruits: a comparative study.

The present work was designed to investigate the presence of bioactive chemicals in the reaction mixtures (RMs) of peels of Valencia, Mandarin, and African navel oranges, through GC-MS and FT-IR studies. Limonene, a unique compound, is present in the RMs of the three orange peels. Moreover, hexadecanoic acid 2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl) ethyl ester was identified in the RMs of all the three-orange peels.

Physical characterization and wound healing properties of Zamzam water.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the quality of Zamzam water, holy water for Muslims and consumed for its medicinal value. The present study demonstrates the physicochemical characterization and wound healing property of Zamzam water. The physicochemical characterization of Zamzam water samples was analyzed for dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids, redox potential, zeta potential, polydispersity index, and zeta size. The microbial quality of Zamzam water was also assessed by exposing water samples to open air. In this work, Zamzam water was also screened for the medicinal value through wound healing properties in Wistar rats. Zamzam water exhibited a unique physicochemical characterization with high levels of dissolved oxygen, zeta potential, polydispersity index, redox potential, total dissolved solids, and conductivity before exposure to open air. After open air exposure, Zamzam water resisted the growth of bacteria. The wound healing properties of Zamzam water in vivo showed a 96% of healing effect on 12th day observation. The wound healing was achieved by modulating pro-inflammatory cytokine such as interleukin -1ß (IL-1ß), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor -α (TNF-α). Followed by the level of apoptosis markers caspase-9 and caspase-3 were reduced. The present study proved that Zamzam water is a good-quality water and showed excellent wound healing property. Therefore, Zamzam water can be used for pharmaceutical formulations.

A água de Zamzam exibiu uma caracterização físico-química única com altos níveis de oxigênio dissolvido, potencial zeta, índice de polidispersidade, potencial redox, sólidos totais dissolvidos e condutividade antes da exposição ao ar livre. Após a exposição ao ar livre, a água de Zamzam resistiu ao crescimento de bactérias. As propriedades de cicatrização de feridas da água de Zamzam in vivo mostraram um efeito de cicatrização de 96% no 12º dia de observação. A cicatrização da ferida foi alcançada pela modulação de citocinas pró-inflamatórias como a interleucina-1ß (IL-1ß), interleucina-6 (IL-6) e fator de necrose tumoral -α (TNF-α). Seguido pelo nível de marcadores de apoptose caspase-9 e caspase-3, estes foram reduzidos. O presente estudo provou que a água de Zamzam é ​​uma água de melhor qualidade e mostrou excelente propriedade de cicatrização de feridas. Portanto, a água de Zamzam pode ser usada para formulações farmacêuticas.
