“…Bioactive chemical compounds in lemons are potent antioxidants and efficient removers of reactive oxygen species, suppressing the activity of oxygen free radicals that destroy normal cells. These substances could inhibit chain reactions during lipid peroxidation with beneficial effects on the products, their shelf life, and animal health (Gonzalez-Molina et al 2010, Alagawany et al 2021, Khalifah et al 2021.…”

“…Lemon (Citrus lemon L.), belonging to the Rutaceae family, is the third most produced and consumed citrus fruit worldwide after orange and mandarin (Rahman et al 2019), which is processed to obtain juice (Alnaimy et al 2017) generating a large number of peel residues (Papoutsis et al 2017). Lemon is rich in some valuable bioactive substances including flavonoids, anthocyanins, flavones, isoflavones, and isocatechins (Rahman et al 2019) which have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties (Youssef et al 2020, Alagawany et al 2021) and could improve meat shelf life (Khalifah et al 2021).…”

The current research intended to examine the impact of dietary lemon peel powder (LPP) on laying quail performance, egg quality criteria, and the antioxidant capacity of the yolk. A total of 120 female Japanese quails (272.6±9.3 g), aged 21 weeks, were allotted to 6 trial groups, each with 5 replicates of 4 quails. Additions of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 g/kg of LPP to the basal diet were used to create the treatment groups. Quails were fed ad libitum for 70 days. Neither performance parameters nor egg production was affected by LPP. However, eggshell-breaking strength improved by adding 2 g/kg LPP to the diet, but worsened at 5 g/kg. Moreover, the relative weight of eggshell and yolk L* value decreased with the treatments. Dietary LPP enhanced oxidative stability, reducing malondialdehyde (MDA) and increasing 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) yolk values.The current study demonstrated that LPP, a safe and easily accessible agricultural byproduct, enhanced eggshell quality when it was included in the diet of laying quails at doses of 2 g/kg. In contrast, improvement of yolk antioxidant capacity required increased amounts of LPP (4 g/kg). LPP could be advantageous to animal nutrition as an adequate substitute to reduce waste by-products

Lemongrass is a medicinal plant that produces essential oil with a variety of therapeutic properties. Although lemongrass essential oil (LGEO) is promising in clinical applications, the existing knowledge on the efficacy and safety of LGEO remains limited. This scoping review aimed to identify, summarize, and synthesize existing literature related to the clinical applications of LGEO to provide an overview of its potential therapeutic benefits for patients. Three databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus) were used following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines to find articles published between 1 January 2013, and 1 November 2022. A total of 671 records were identified and 8 articles were included in this scoping review. The majority of patients received oromucosal and topical treatment. The results of the studies suggest that LGEO might be a useful tool in the treatment of periodontitis, gingivitis and oral malodour, with similar efficacy to chlorhexidine (anti-gingivitis effect) and doxycycline (periodontitis). Additionally, LGEO has the potential for treating pityriasis versicolor and preventing skin aging and may have anti-dandruff effects. These findings not only underscore the diverse clinical potential of LGEO but also emphasize its comparable efficacy to established treatments. Further research is imperative to comprehensively evaluate LGEO’s effectiveness, safety, mechanisms of action, potential interactions with other medications, and its long-term tolerability across diverse populations.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of individual or combination of alpinia galangal (AG) and zinc sulfate (ZnSO 4 ) on growth performance and carcass characteristics of growing rabbits. 48 male Baldi red rabbits aged 5 weeks were assigned to 6 treatments. Treatments were (1) control diet, (2) 50 mg (AG)/kg DM (AG 1 ), (3) 100 mg (AG)/kg DM (AG 2 ), (4) 100mg ZnSO 4 /kg DM (Zn), (5) 50 mg (AG) + 100 mg ZnSO 4 / kg DM (AG 1 Zn) and ( 6) 100 mg (AG) + 100 mg ZnSO 4 / kg DM (AG 2 Zn). Feeding AG 2 , AG 1 Zn, and AG 2 Zn recorded higher growth performance traits than control. The Zn, AG 1 Zn, and AG 2 Zn enhanced all apparent digestibility coefficient parameters compared to other treatments. In addition, carcass traits were improved by AG 2 , Zn, AG 1 Zn, and AG 2 Zn treatments. Regarding economic efficiency, each AG 2 or AG 1 Zn and AG 2 Zn represented the most promising treatments. Results referred that an individual dose of (AG 2 ) or its combination (AG 1 Zn and AG 2 Zn) maximizes the growth performance and economic efficiency of growing rabbits.
