Objective: The purpose of this study is to identify visual perception of and satisfaction with the orange peel effect of surface. The orange peel effect is a type of finish on painted or coated surface. Background: Gloss paint sprayed on a smooth surface (such as car body, smart phone, and electric home appliances, etc.) should also dry into a smooth surface. Then, a surface resembling the texture of an orange peel can be caused by some factors. The orange peel effect can degrade user's satisfaction with a product. Method: Visual perception and emotional satisfaction were subjectively evaluated using Likert scale. The significance of orange peel effect on visual perception and satisfaction were then analyzed by the analysis of variance. The correlation between visual perception and satisfaction was also analyzed. Results: Surface roughness significantly influenced visual perception and emotional satisfaction. The level of visual perception increased and emotional satisfaction decreased with the increase of orange peel effect. Emotional satisfaction decreased with the increase of visual perception level. Conclusion: It was identified that orange peel phenomenon on surface was a very important factor for emotional satisfaction. The orange peel effect on the surface of a product should be minimized to improve the emotional satisfaction of the product. Application: The result of this study can be applied to the texture design of the body of a car, smart phones, and electric home appliances, etc.

In this study, we investigated the antioxidants activity by measuring electron donating ability and ABTS radical scavenging ability of the extracts from Rutaceae fruits (citron, grapefruit, lemon, mandarin orange, orange, trifoliate) to evaluate its use as a antioxidants in foods and cosmetics. Rutaceae fruits extract were separated in two parts of whole fruit (pulp, pulp fegment membrane, peel) and peel, dried, and then extracted with 70% ethanol. As a result of comparing the antioxidant effect at the concentration of 10,000 ㎍/mL, the electron donating ability was higher in the dried lemon peel extract (DLPE, 88.15%) and the dried citron whole fruit extract (DCWE, 80.44%), and the ABTS radical scavenging ability was highest in lemon peel and dried peel extract at 94.85% (FLPE) and 92.83% (DLPE). In conclusion, it was confirmed that lemon showed the highest antioxidant effect among the Rutaceae fruits(citron, grapefruit, lemon, mandarin orange, orange, trifoliate), and it was confirmed that the dried peel extract had a significant effect. Therefore it is considered that the dried lemon peel extract has the potential to be used as a natural antioxidant material in food and cosmetics.

This study investigated the Antimicrobial activity of Rutaceae fruit ethanol extracts against microorganisms-induced skin inflammation in cosmetic materials. Rutaceae fruits were separated in two parts of whole fruit (pulp, pulp fegment membrane, peel) and peel, and extracted with 70% ehtanol. The results demonstrated that Rutaceae fruit ethanol extracts showed antimicrobial activity in 5 strains except Staphylococcus aureus. In particular, the antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis was the best in fresh lemons whole fruit. The antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli was shown only in fresh lemon peel and fresh trifoliate peel. Additionally, antimicrobial activity against Propionibacterium acnes was shown only in the dried lemon peel. In the results of antimicrobial activity against Pityrosporum ovale, in the case of fresh fruits, citron whole fruits showed the highest effect, followed by lemon whole fruits and mandarin orange peel. And in the case of dried fruits, orange peel showed the highest effect, followed by trifoliate peel, mandarin orange peel and lemon peel. Therefore, it is considered that lemon, which shows antimicrobial activity against all skin inflammation-causing microorganisms, can be used as a natural material for improving skin inflammation in cosmetics.

Orange peel (OP) exhibits a sorption capacity towards anionic dyes such as reactive blue 19 (RB19). Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a cationic surfactant was used to modify the surface nature of OP to enhance its adsorption capacity for anionic dyes from an aqueous solution. Four adsorbents were investigated: the OP, sodium hydroxide-treated OP (SOP), CTAB-modified OP and CTAB-modified SOP. The physical and chemical properties of these sorbents were determined using nitrogen adsorption at 77 K and by scanning electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy techniques. The adsorption of the RB19 dye was assessed with these sorbents at different solution pH levels and temperatures. The effect of the contact time was considered to determine the order and rate constants of the adsorption process. The adsorption data were analyzed considering the Freundlich, Langmuir, Elovich and Tempkin models. The adsorption of RB19 by the assessed sorbents is of the chemisorption type following pseudo-first-order kinetics. CTAB modification brought about a significant increase in RB19 adsorption, which was ascribed to the grafting of the sorbent with a cationic surfactant.

Most of orange peels are disposed from orange juice manufacturing process. Thus, our purpose is to utilize these orange peels as fermentation substrate. We have investigated culture conditions and factors influencing citric acid production by an isolated strain, Asp. niger. Citric acid production was much higher in semisolid culture than in submerged culture and the particle size of ground orange peels was favored at 20 mesh in semisolid culture. The optimal pH and temperature were 4.5-5.0 and 3$0^{\circ}C$ respectively and the temperature cycling at 35$^{\circ}C$ for 20 hrs durig exponential phase, 1$0^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs and 3$0^{\circ}C$ during stationary phase showed higher citric acid production than did at fixed temperature, 3$0^{\circ}C$. The addition of NH$_4$NO$_3$0.2%, MgSO$_4$7$H_2O$ 0.1%, methanol 2.5%, ethanol 1.5%, to culture medium promoted citric acid production but the addition of trace metal ions as nutrients had not effect on the acid production in orange peel medium. Under the optimal culture conditions, maximum yield of citric acid was 80.4% in solid medium. Almost of all original components of citrus peel was consumed by Asp. niger during fermentation.

The protective effects of BNs-3 and BNs-7, extracts of citrous orange peel, on the obesity induced by ad libitum feeding a cholesterol-containing diet to rats were investigated. The animals were fed on the diet including cholesterol (0.5%) with or without the citrous orange peel extracts BNs-3 (5%) and/or BNs-7 (0.1%) for 8 weeks. The ad libitum feeding a diet containing cholesterol to rats from 6 weeks of age increased the body weight gain compared with that of rats fed on a normal diet. Such an increase in body weights was markedly attenuated by the addition of BNs-3 or BNs-7 to the diet. Especially, a combinational feeding on BNs-3 and BNs-7 significantly reduced the body weight gain below that of normal diet-fed animals. Interestingly, the weights of abdominal adipose tis-sues surrounding epididymides were greatly reduced by the citrous orange peel extracts, in parallel with the decrease in body weights. In addition, blood concentrations of lipids including cholesterol were also lowered by the combinational treatment with BNs-3 and BNs-7. Taken together, it is suggested that the obesity and overweight produced by unrestricted overfeeding on diet with cholesterol may be partially due to the accumulation of abdominal adipose tissues, around the epididymides in rats, and that citrous orange peel extracts might exert antiobese activities by reducing the adipose tis-sues as well as blood lipid concentrations.

This study was conducted to optimize the water homogenization process of mandarin orange peel for colored rice. Four variables were used to determine the optimum conditions for homogenization speed, time, temperature, and water volume with a five level central composite design and response surface methodology. The process was optimized using the combination of EI and b values of rice coated with water extract of the mandarin orange peel. The effect of water volume was the most significant compared to the other variables on the quality of water homogenate. The regression polynomial model was a suitable (p>0.05) model by lack-of-fit analysis showing high significance. To optimize the process, based on surface response and contour plots, individual contour plots for the response variables were superimposed. The optimum conditions for manufacturing water extract from mandarin orange was with 8,500 rpm homogenization speed, 2.8 min time, $53^{\circ}C$ temperature, and 42 mL water volume with the maximum of restricted variables of EI above 400 and h value above 24.

The feasibility of incorporating orange peel powder (OPP) as a value-added food ingredient into convenient food products, was investigated using yanggaeng as a model system. OPP was incorporated into yanggaeng at amounts of 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12% (w/w) based on total weight of cooked white beans and OPP. pH decreased significantly with increasing levels of OPP (P<0.05), and moisture content was ranged from 46.28% to 47.87%. In terms of color, lightness, redness, and yellowness increased significantly (P<0.05) with increasing levels of OPP. Hardness increased significantly when OPP content was higher than 6% in the formulation (P<0.05). Total polyphenol content and 1,1-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity were significantly increased by addition of OPP in the formulation (P<0.05). Finally, consumer acceptance test indicated that the highest levels of OPP incorporation (12%, w/w) had an adverse effect on general consumer preferences. In contrast, yanggaeng with moderate levels of OPP (3~6%, w/w) is recommended (with respect to overall preference score) to take advantage of the antioxidant properties of OPP without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

The crude bioflavonoids were obtained by methanol and butanol extraction from Iyophilized orange (Citrus sinensis) peel. And then, its yield was about 0.26% in dry base. Two bioflavonoids were purified by gel filtration and HPLC, and could be identified narirutin and hesperidin through TLC, HPLC, UV spertrum and NMR analysis. The yields of narirutin and hesperidin from a gram of crude bioflavonoids were 42mg and 530mg respectively, and the main fraction of bioflavonoid from orange peel was supposed to be hesperidin. Each component was intravenously injected into Sprague-Dawley rats (1mg/100g body weight) and hesperidin was found to lower their blood pressure significantly (p < 0.001).
