This study investigates the anti-inflammatory properties of Andaliman (Zanthoxylum acanthopodium DC.) fruit extract on inflamed human keratinocytes (HaCaT cells). The phytochemical profile of Andaliman reveals a high content of terpenoids from the Salkowski test, which inhibits the NF-κB signaling pathway, thereby suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokine production. The study demonstrates a s…

In this study, the lemon pectin was extracted from using heat and strained with cheesecloth. The pectin was then adde…
In the process of manufacturing lemon juice, a significant proportion of the byproduct, specifically 83%, is discarded. Fruit leftovers are biodegradable and potentially harm the environment due to their high moisture and microbial load. A product was developed out of citrus peels in an effort to utilize lemon waste during the production of “Maha lemon” in order to increase the value of…
