- Abstract
The current study was designed to investigate the effect of dried orange pulp inclusion (OP diet), natural zeolite addition (Z diet), or both (OPZ diet) compared to control (CON diet) on digestibility, growth performance, nitrogen utilization, blood biochemical, antioxidative status, and cecum microbiota of growing rabbits. Seventy-two V-line male rabbits (6 weeks old) were divided into 4 balanced experimental groups. Results showed that administration of dried orange pulp or zeolite especially the OPZ diet significantly improved nutrient digestibility and nutritive values. Rabbits fed the experimental diets (OP, Z, or OPZ) recorded significantly higher values of average daily gain, N-retention, and N-balance compared with those fed the CON diet. Data on blood biochemical, showed non-significant differences in globulin concentrations, and significant decreases in levels of cholesterol, LDL (low-density lipoproteins), triglycerides, and MDA (malondialdehyde) as an antioxidant biomarker with OP, Z, or OPZ diets. Moreover, the incorporation of orange pulp or zeolite in diets significantly decreased the cecal count of E. coli, with no significant difference in total bacterial count among the experimental groups. It could be concluded that a combination between dried orange pulp and natural zeolite in the diet can enhance the growth performance, antioxidant and health status of rabbits. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Over the past decades, the agro-industrial by-products (AIBP) have received considerable attention. In this context, we aimed to investigate the effect of AIBP as a source of non-fiber carbohydrates on biogas production kinetic, methane emission, and fermentation characteristics. Experimental treatments were (1) sugar beet pulp (SBP) (control), (2) apple pomace (AP), (3) orange pulp (OP, (4) 33% AP + 66% OP, (5) 50% AP + 50% OP, and (6) 66% AP + 33% OP. Field emission scanning electron microscope was used to show the nano structural differences of the AIBP. Results of proximate analyzes, demonstrated significant differences of the crude protein among the treatments (P < 0.05). Biogas production and methane emission were significantly higher in SBP and OP treatments (P < 0.05). The highest and the lowest amounts of acetate were observed for AP and OP (61.84 mmol/L, 58.15 mmol/L), respectively. More broken edges were obvious in OP images. Yet, particle size was rather smaller in SBP. Images of AP showed a sleek surface which may act as a shield preventing more digestion. To conclude, utilization of AIBP, as non-fiber energy source, not only could contribute towards reducing environmental contamination but could also positively affect degradation, biogas kinetics, methane emission and in vitro fermentation parameters.

FOOD pasteurization ,DIETARY fiber ,PHENOLS ,ORANGES ,FOOD production - Abstract
After orange processing, different by-products are generated, i.e., peels, seeds and pulps. The pulp is highly perishable, being an unstable food matrix that needs a preservation process to be stored and used again in the food production chain. Pasteurization is the technique of choice before aseptically packaging and storing under refrigerated conditions. In this study, the effect of pasteurization has been evaluated on the chemical, functional and sensorial profiles. Ash content decreased (p < 0.05) after the thermal treatment. Indeed, magnesium, calcium and zinc diminished, although copper was found to be higher (p < 0.05) in the pasteurized product. Total dietary fiber decreased (p < 0.05), but soluble dietary fiber raised (p < 0.05) due to hydrolysis caused by pasteurization. SDF:IDF ratio, hydration properties, and fat binding capacity were improved. Total soluble phenolic compounds remained similar but FRAP and DPPH scavenging activity decreased (p < 0.05) in the pasteurized by-product. Regarding the sensorial profile, pasteurization produced darkening, appearance of a cooked smell and an increase in bitterness. Therefore, pasteurization deteriorates the sensorial profile being able to change the attributes of an added-pasteurized-pulp juice; however, it is a good choice to preserve the orange pulp by-product to formulate food products different from juices or other beverages.

Among the numerous agrochemicals in use today, the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D), has been widely applied to control broad-leaved weeds in gardens and farming. 2,4-D is commonly preferred because of its low cost and good selectivity. On the other hand, 2,4-D is a poorly biodegradable pollutant. Therefore, this study has focused on the adsorption of 2,4-D from aqueous solutions by using activated carbon. The activated carbon was produced from the orange (Citrus sinensis L.) pulp by chemical activation with zinc chloride. The morphological and chemical characteristics of the activated carbon were investigated by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and N
2 -adsorption techniques. Then, the effect of adsorption parameters was researched for 2,4-D adsorption on activated carbon. The experimental data indicated that the adsorption isotherms were well described by the Langmuir equilibrium isotherm equation and the calculated adsorption capacity was 71.94 mg g−1 at 298 K. The adsorption kinetic of 2,4-D obeys the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The thermodynamic parameters indicated a feasible, spontaneous and exothermic adsorption. These results show that the prepared activated carbon has good potential for the removal of 2,4-D from aqueous solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Orange (Citrus sinensis L.) pulp, solid waste resulting from the production of citrus juice, was developed into activated carbon using zinc chloride at a 3:1 impregnation ratio with an activation temperature of 500°C. To determine the adsorption capacity, the prepared activated carbon was then utilized for the removal of dyestuff (Reactive Orange 13) from aqueous solutions. The resulting activated carbon had a high specific surface area of 1,779.48 m2 g-1. The experimental isotherm data were evaluated using the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin-Radushkevich models. The experimental kinetic data were analyzed using the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, intra-particle diffusion, and Elovich models. The results obtained from the isotherm and kinetic studies were well explained, respectively, by the Langmuir and pseudo-second-order models. Thermodynamic parameters were computed, and the results obtained revealed that the present adsorption is a spontaneous and endothermic adsorption process. These findings indicate that orange pulp activated carbon can be effectively utilized as an inexpensive adsorbent to remove dyestuff from an aqueous solution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study evaluated the effects of Lactobacillus buchneri (LAB) and orange pulp (OP) supplementation on chemical composition, in vitro and in situ degradability, dry matter (DM), pH and aerobic stability of alfalfa silage. Treatments were 1) alfalfa without any additive (control), 2) alfalfa + OP (70% alfalfa mixed with 30% fresh OP, LAB0), 3) treatment 2 with 1.5 g LAB/ton (LAB1), 4) treatment 2 with 3 g LAB/ton (LAB2) and 5) treatment 2 with 4.5 g LAB/ton (LAB3). Treatments were replicated three times in laboratory mini silos for 90 d in a closed barn with a ambient temperature (15 to 18 oC). As a result of this study, the experimental treatments did not affect on DM of silage at the end of the ensiling period. Control treatment had the highest pH (4.5) among the experimental treatments ( P<0.05). Supplementation alfalfa with OP resulted in significant increase in water soluble carbohydrate (WSC) and total volatile fatty acids (VFAs) ( P<0.05). Treating alfalfa silage with OP and LAB improved aerobic stabilities of treatments significantly, as compared to LAB0. Supplementation of silage with OP and bacterial inoculant increased DM digestibility. These findings indicated that LAB can improve the aerobic stability and quality of silage in laboratory silos and also, OP and LAB might improve silage quality and cause better silage management in the farm.

Pulp and peels are the main by-products during juice extraction of citrus fruits. Typically, they contain large amounts of cell wall polysaccharides and can be a source of dietary fibres which are rich in pectin. In the past, numerous studies have focussed on hydration properties of fruit derived dietary fibres but very limited information is available on their gelling properties. The aim of the present study was to investigate both water binding and gelling properties of two orange fibre preparations from pulp and peel with a galacturonan content >27% and a degree of methoxylation >65%. The water retention capacity (WRC) of these fibres was significantly increased by mechanical pre-treatment but decreased by high temperatures (80 °C) during soaking. Moreover, intrinsic factors of the soaking solution significantly affected the water binding properties: a raising pH increased the WRC whereas the incorporation of calcium decreased it. Pulp fibre showed superior water binding properties compared to peel fibre. Gelling properties were evaluated by means of oscillation measurements as well as texture analyses and revealed that pulp and peel fibres were able to form sugar-acid gels at low pH < 2.7 and soluble solids loads of 55 and 60%, respectively. Pulp fibre exhibited similar gel points like isolated citrus pectin. Fibre gels were, however, less elastic than citrus pectin gels. Possibly this is a consequence of the swollen fibre matrix which might interfere with the pectin gel network. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ALFALFA silage ,MOLASSES ,LACTOBACILLUS - Abstract
This study was conducted to document the effects of supplementation alfalfa silage with molasses, orange pulp and Lactobacillus buchneri on in vitro dry matter digestibility and gas production. The treatments included: 1) alfalfa hay (control); 2) alfalfa hay with bacterial additive 3×108 cfu/g; 3) alfalfa hay with orange pomace; 4) alfalfa hay with orange pomace and bacterial additive 3×10
8 cfu/g; 5) alfalfa hay with 5% molasses; 6) alfalfa hay with 5% molasses and bacterial additive 3×108 cfu/g. Alfalfa hay harvested at flowering stage and after 24 hours wilted and mixed orange pomace with a ratio of 2100 g and 760 g, respectively, and was ensiled for 90 days. The data were analyzed in a completely randomized design with three replications. After 24 h incubation, treatments AO (alfalfa + orange pulp) and CON (without additive) had the highest and lowest in vitro gas production (p<0.05) and adding orange pulp and molasses increased gas production. Adding inoculant decreased in vitro DM digestibility. Results showed that ensiling alfalfa with orange pulp and molasses can improve silage quality and increased gas production and in vitro DM digestibility. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

The dynamics of orange pulp (OP) as a fermentation feedstock for the production of volatile esters of 'fruity' aroma by using a commercial wine yeast strain ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. cerevisiae) was investigated. To achieve this goal, the kinetic behaviour of yeast (cell growth, substrate assimilation and volatile ester formation) was studied in OP complemented with nutritive medium under two different aeration conditions. The results were compared with those obtained from conventional processes in nutritive medium containing glucose as a sole carbon source. The results obtained revealed that the yeast cells were able to grow in the OP-containing medium after a 12-h lag period, probably due to the inhibitory effect of limonene. OP was found to stimulate the de novo synthesis of isoamyl acetate, phenylethyl acetate and ethyl esters (hexanoate, octanoate, decanoate and dodecanoate) by S. cerevisiae. This was strongly evident in the case of limited oxygen supply. Based on the above findings, OP appears to be a promising choice for bioflavour production by yeast. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
In this study, orange pulp (OP) and/or organic Se were fed to broilers in order to investigate their effects on the performance, behavior, breast meat quality, and oxidative stability. A total of 240 chicks were allocated to four groups: a control group; an OP group, fed with OP at 50 g/kg of diet; a Se group, fed with organic Se at 0.15 ppm; and an OP + Se group, fed with OP and organic Se at 50 g/kg and 0.15 ppm, respectively. The selenium and OP + Se groups showed improved meat oxidative stability during frozen storage from 90 to 210 days (p < 0.05), whereas the performance and meat quality were unaffected by the dietary treatments (p > 0.05), apart from a reduction in the meat pH and the dressing percentage in the OP-supplemented groups (p < 0.05). A synergistic action between OP and Se was observed for the meat oxidative stability. The polyunsaturated fatty acid (FA) and α-linolenic acid (ALA) contents in the breast meat lipid fractions were increased in the OP groups (p < 0.05). Dietary intervention did not affect the feeding or drinking behaviors of the broilers (p > 0.05). The dietary supplementation of broiler chickens with the citrus industry byproduct orange pulp at 50 g/kg, along with organic Se at 0.15 ppm, beneficially improves the meat oxidative stability and the meat nutritional value, with no negative side effects on the performance or the meat quality.

Orange pulp was extruded using a Brabender laboratory single screw extruder (20:1 L/D). The independent variables evaluated were barrel temperature (83, 100, 125, 150, and 167 °C), feed moisture content (22, 25, 30, 35, and 38/100 g), and screw speed (126, 140, 160, 180, and 194 rpm). The apparent density and apparent viscosity values of the extruded orange pulp increased during extrusion, while the oil absorption index decreased, in comparison with the values for raw orange pulp. In vitro studies showed that at the end of the incubation time, 90.68% of the starch was hydrolyzed in the control sample, while only 77.82% and 69.40% pulp of the starch experienced hydrolysis in the presence of raw fiber and extruded orange pulp, respectively. Extruded orange pulp showed a higher glucose retradation index (16.04–25.92%) after 30 min of dialysis and after 60 min (11.66% and 18.33%) than raw orange pulp (8.33%). These results indicated that glucose could be bound with compacted fiber matrices and inhibit alpha-amylase activity. These mechanisms may create a definite benefit by decreasing the rate of glucose absorption and eventually lowering the concentration of postprandial serum glucose. The potential hypoglycemic effects of extruded orange pulp suggest that orange pulp is a good and abundant dietary fiber resource that could be of great benefit in controlling glucose levels in the blood. It could also be added to high-fiber foods as a low-calorie bulk ingredient to reduce the calorie level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The quality and safety of juices are assured mainly through heat treatments and chemical preservatives. However, there is a growing trend in the food industry for lowering energy and water demands, and the chemicals and additives that may have negative effects οn human health. Following that trend, in the present study, the reduced use of chemical preservatives in orange juice is proposed by using encapsulated sodium benzoate (SB) in tubular cellulose (TC), derived from orange pulp. The effects of SB concentration and contact time on SB encapsulation were evaluated. The use of the wet impregnation method, 12% w/v SB solution and 2 h of contact proved to be ideal for application in the juice industry. The use of starch gel resulted in a more stable composite (TC/SB-SG) with a slower SB delivery, showing its potential for future controlled delivery applications. Furthermore, similar delivery rates of SB in juice were noted at 25 and 2 °C. The TC/SB-SG proved capable of inhibiting the growth and reducing the numbers of spoilage microorganisms (yeasts and lactic acid bacteria). The results of the present study are promising for potential applications; however, more research is needed in order to evaluate the controlled delivery of SB in juice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Simple Summary: Utilization of local by-products in pig nutrition can reduce the environmental impact of feeds and contribute to the sustainable development of the livestock sector. Orange pulp (OP) is the most abundant citrus by-product worldwide, but its seasonal production and perishable nature requires storage and drying procedures that might affect its nutritive value. Conservation process by fuel drying is expensive and can impair feed sustainability. Instead, in the Mediterranean countries, OP is sun-dried in the open-air. This procedure often implies a previous silage (during storage) which occurs naturally, because OP has a high level of sugars available for fermentation. Orange pulp is also rich in soluble fiber, which is highly fermentable at the pig's caecum and may reduce gas emissions from slurry. In this study, the nutritive value of conventional fuel-dehydrated (DOP) or ensiled-sun dried (ESDOP) was determined for pig diets. Sugars fermentation during ensiling increases fiber level in ESDOP and decreases energy digestibility compared to DOP, but both OP have an appreciable digestible energy content for pigs, around 87 and 94% that of barley, respectively. In addition, they do not differ in the amount of slurry excreted and contribute to reduce potential derived ammonia and methane emissions. The inclusion of orange pulp (OP) in pig diets may promote the circular economy, but drying procedures might influence its nutritional value and environmental impact. The purpose of this study was to determine the energy value and nutrient digestibility of dehydrated (DOP) and ensiled sun dried (ESDOP) orange pulp. The potential ammonia (NH
3 ) and methane (CH4 ) emissions derived from slurry were also measured. Digestible energies of 14.2 and 13.2 MJ/kg DM for DOP and ESDOP, respectively, were estimated by difference after a 500 g/kg substitution of a basal diet with OPs. A high fiber digestion efficiency was observed for both OPs. Pigs fed the basal diet showed a higher intake and a greater excretion of urine N than pigs fed with OP, but fecal N excretion did not differ among diets. A higher benzoic and hippuric acid content in urine was observed in OP than in basal diet. Altogether, these findings explained a lower pH in slurry of OP diets and a reduction of potential NH3 emissions. The biochemical CH4 potential also decreased, especially with ESDOP. Overall, both OP are relevant sources of energy for pig diets. Their inclusion in feeds generate favorable changes of slurry characteristics that reduce potential NH3 and CH4 emissions.

Simple Summary: Spain is a major global producer of both goats and citrus fruits on the world. Using by-products of the orange industry for feeding ruminants has environmental advantages. In this work, we analysed how replacing cereal concentrates with dehydrated orange pulp (DOP) in the diet of mother goats affects the meat quality of suckling kids. We evaluated the following characteristics of the meat of suckling kids of the dairy Payoya breed: chemical composition; texture; water holding capacity; colour; saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids (SFA, MUFA, and PUFA, respectively); volatile compounds; and sensorial appraisal. The inclusion of DOP in goat feed did not affect the proximal composition, texture, colour, or juiciness of the kids' meat. However, the inclusion of DOP improved the indices of the nutritional value of the meat for human health (thrombogenicity index, PUFA/SFA ratio, and n-6/n-3 ratio). The inclusion of DOP in goat feed reduced MUFA content in the kids' meat. An increase in aromatic compounds, including ethyl furan, dimethyl disulphide, and heptane, was observed in the grilled meat of kids from goats that were fed DOP. The use of DOP in goat feed improved consumers' sensory appreciation of the suckling kids' meat. We analysed how replacing cereal concentrates with dehydrated orange pulp (DOP) in the diet of mother goats affects the meat quality of suckling kids. Three experimental diets for mother goats were designed. The DOP-0 diet contained commercial concentrates and alfalfa hay. In the DOP-40 and DOP-80 diets, 40% and 80% (respectively) of the cereal in the concentrate was replaced with pellets of DOP (the alfalfa hay component was unchanged). We evaluated the chemical composition, texture, water holding capacity, colour, fatty acids (FAs) profile, volatile compounds, and sensorial appraisal of the meat from 30 male suckling kids (cold carcass weight 4.74 kg, 4.82 kg, and 4.65 kg for DOP-0, DOP-40, and DOP-80, respectively) of the Payoya breed (n = 10 for each diet). Meat from kids in the DOP-40 and DOP-80 groups exhibited characteristics favourable for human health, including the meat's thrombogenicity index, PUFA/SFA ratio (0.60 index), and n-6 PUFA/n-3 PUFA ratio (approximately 7.50). The meat also exhibited reduced MUFA content (around 460 mg/100 g fresh meat). An increase in ethyl furan, dimethyl disulphide and heptane was observed in grilled meat from goats that were fed using DOP. The inclusion of DOP in goat feed improved consumers' sensory appreciation of the kid's meat. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
