“…Pomegranate juice was also high in antioxidant activity (from 157.3 to 419.3 mmol/100 mL) (33,34). Further, the composition of the wild apricot are in the range described earlier for TSS, and with higher titratable acidity and ascorbic acid content (35). The variations in physicochemical characteristics might be due to the cultivation practices and the different growing areas.…”

Pumpkin is an important, nutrient rich vegetable grown around the world. In this work, pumpkin, pomegranate and wild apricot were blended to make a pumpkin based wine. The pulps of different fruits were blended at 60:20:20 and the must was prepared using different concentrations of sugars (22°Bx, 24°Bx and 26°Bx), with diammonium hydrogen phosphate (0.1%) and SO2 (50 ppm) constant in all the treatments. The musts were fermented at 28°C using different activated yeast starter cultures (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Torulaspora delbrueckii, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii individually and in combination). Among the various treatments, the treatment prepared with 22°Bx initial sugar concentration and fermented with mixed culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Torulaspora delbrueckii, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii was adjudged as the best with highest concentration of total phenols, optimum level of alcohol, total sugar, esters, lower volatile acidity, ascorbic acid, carotenoids and higher alcohol. Further, the treatment also had higher amount of DPPH Scavenging activity, Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power and ABTS activity.

“…Apricot ( Prunus armeniaca L.) belongs to the genus prunus of the subfamily Prunoideae in the family Rosaceae and is also one of the most popular nuts tree on a worldwide basis (Fan, Jiao, Wang, Cao, & Jiang, ). Its seeds are typically used as snack foods and ingredients in a variety of processed foods like bakery and confectionery products (Sharma, Gupta, Abrol, & Joshi, ; Zhang, Song, Wang, Zhao, & Fan, ), due to the high contents of nutrient compounds such as protein (25–26%, wt/wt, dry weight basis), soluble sugar (6.5–14%), and crude oil (43–53%) (Femenia, Roselló, Mulet, & Cañellas, ; Zhang et al, ). The higher content of kernels oil, which is rich in mono‐ and polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially the oleic and linoleic acids, explains the interest of apricot kernels in cosmetics and human diet (Jia et al, ).…”

In this article, the conventional debitterizing treatment of apricot kernels in industrial processing was investigated to study its effect on the quality of the kernels including the amygdalin, protein, sugars, and phenols dissolved in the debitterized water, as well as fatty acids, peroxide value (PV), and acid value (AV) in the kernels. The results indicate that the debitterizing temperature and time positively correlated with the contents of those detected components in debitterized water.Furthermore, the most changes of PV, AV, and fatty acids' composition are significant, which suggest that the debitterizing caused the oxidation and rancidity in the apricot kernels oil. Overall, the debitterizing not only decreased the toxicity of the apricot kernels to make it suitable for consumption but also caused a great loss of quality of apricot kernels, as well the problem of environment pollution, which has been a serious issue to be urgently solved for the apricot kernels processing industry. Practical applicationsThis report mainly focused on the debitterizing treatment on the quality of apricot kernels, in addition, some suggestions were made to improve the debitterizing efficiency and lower the discharge of wastewater. These results and suggestions are very useful to control and produce the high quality apricot kernels with minimal waste, especially under the new situations of requiring lower carbon emission, lower pollution, and full utilization of resources.

Excessive drug therapy, environmental pollutants, hepatic cancer and alcoholic intoxicants are the main causes of liver disorders. The hepatic disorders/toxicity can occur by several mechanisms like cytochrome P450 activation, lipid peroxidation, induction of nitric acid synthase, mitochondrial dysfunction, activation of pro-inflammatory mediators and bile acid-induced liver cell death. In spite of consistent human effort and drug discovery, the modern drug has very little to offer. (Prunus armeniaca) is commonly known as Khubani or moon of the faithful or Egg of the sun, which is used as folk medicine in traditional Indian medicinal system as well as worldwide medicinal system, belongs to the family Rosaceae. Prunus armeniaca fruit is the rich source of vitamin, carbohydrate, thiamine, niacin, iron, organic acids, phenols and volatile compounds viz. benzaldehyde, esters, norisoprenoids, terpenoids and minerals. The seed of Prunus armeniaca contain very small amount toxic hydrogen cyanide amygdalin, present in bitter prunus armeniaca kernels which are prescribed as anticancer drug, in asthma, cough and constipation. Prunus armeniaca is having some reported activities like anticancer, antiinflammatory, anti-tubercular properties and antimicrobial properties. Children consume Prunus armeniaca in form of candy and sauces. This review is an attempt to summarize the phytoconstituents, pharmacological action, drug interactions encountered and safety profile with use of Prunus armeniaca as a preventive and therapeutic aid to various ailments including hepatic and dental disorders. INTRODUCTION:Liver diseases are still a global health problem may be classified as acute or chronic hepatitis (inflammatory liver diseases), hepatosis (non inflammatory diseases) and cirrhosis (degenerative disorder resulting in liver fibrosis). According to WHO (1993) 1 , about 80% of the world population rely on the use of traditional medicine which is predominantly based on plant materials. Unfortunately, treatments of choice for liver diseases are controversial because conventional or synthetic drugs for the treatment of these diseases are insufficient and sometimes cause serious side effects 2 .
