Eating orange is very good for our health. Some nutrients in the fruit can be isolated and used as medicine. Research on them is ongoing.
What are the benefits of orange peel research?
In this regard, a research center called SORC in Brazil has published an important research result.
Through this study, it has been revealed that a fiber called pectin has the ability to cure various chronic diseases.
This fiber is rich in the cell walls of vegetables. Papaya, also known as papaya, tadpole, and oranges are rich in this nutrient
Papaya contains a lot of this fiber before it ripens. Once it ripens, its properties change. So the researchers took oranges and passion fruits instead of papaya. The white part between their flesh and skin is rich in pectin.
When this was tested on animals, a good change was observed in their bodies. Researchers say that in the future, it will be used to treat diseases including colon cancer.
Normally, when extracting juice from fruits like oranges, the pulp is thrown away. From this, only the white part rich in pectin can be separated and made into flour.
Therefore, this pectin flour can be used not only as medicine, but also like the protein powder we use today.
Plastic that dissolves in the ocean
Scientists from the Ryukyu Research Center in Japan have designed a plastic that dissolves in the ocean.
Sodium hexametaphosphate, which is used in food products, is used in fertilizers.
Scientists have created a new compound by combining two guanidium ions. This can be combined in the desired shape and used to make the necessary products.
The products made with this compound are like plastic. It is easily flammable, colorless and not transparent.
If you put it in salt water, it dissolves in eight and a half hours. So it is much better than regular plastic.
Mugs or water containers made of this compound are coated with certain chemicals, so water does not stick to them. Because of this, the water poured into them will dissolve them.
When you use them and throw them away, all you have to do is scratch them lightly. The salt water of the sea will enter through this scratch and dissolve the mug.
Similarly, even if you throw these on the ground, they will not cause much harm. The salt water will dissolve and release nitrogen and phosphorus.
Both of these are beneficial for the environment, as they are nutrients that plants need. We can expect plastic products made from these materials to come into use soon.
