Various fruits and vegetables contain parts such as seeds, stems, roots and leaves that have been taught are not edible and are practical to just throw the parts away. According to Benjamin (2017), more people are becoming conscious of a full plant and the nutritional value of the fruit or vegetable from head to toe to not waste something that can be potentially edible and very nutritious. One of which is the avocado (Persea americana). As stated by the Plant List Organization (2012), the avocado is classified as a member of the flowering plant family Lauraceae, which is mostly found in South Central Mexico. The fruit is noticeably asymmetrical at the head as a result of distinctive growth on opposite sides. The exocarp of an avocado is commonly The endocarp is the thin inner layer of the avocado that is found between the flesh of the avocado and the seed. The endocarp is often difficult to differentiate from the flesh of the avocado fruit, and at the center of the avocado is the fruit’s seed. This is the seed that makes the avocado a fruit as opposed to a vegetable, which can vary in size from small to large, (Bruce, 2013). As said by Engels of the One Green Planet (2017), the seed holds 70% of the avocado's antioxidants, including the well-respected polyphenols associated with green tea. This single seed is also packed with soluble fiber and healthy oils. With these various and differently-functioned parts of fruits and with the increasing alertness of the effects of toxic metals released into the environment, numerous studies about metals increase from the perspective of metal recovery and the removal from solution using fruits are realized and proposed by researchers. Different methods are being used such as filtration, electrochemical treatment, evaporation recovery and many Sewerage is the physical infrastructure, including pipes, pumps, screens, channels etc. used to convey sewage from its origin to the point of eventual treatment or disposal. Many bacteria can be found in wastewater. Relating the responsibility of bacteria on the phenomenon of biosorption and its presence on waste water, there are past studies venturing on the antimicrobial properties of essential oils and fruit parts. A study in 2013 by N.S. Al-Zoreky tested the antimicrobial activity against Listeria monocytogenes, S. aureus, Escherichia coli and Yersinia enterocolitica by various extracts from pomegranate fruit peels and was evaluated using both in vitro and in situ methods. According to Antimicrobial Resistance Learning Site (2013), an antimicrobial is any substance of natural, semisynthetic or synthetic origin that kills or inhibits the growth of microorganisms but causes little or no damage to the host. Antimicrobial destroys pathogenic microorganisms, in which one specific example is the Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive, round-shaped bacterium that is a member of the Firmicutes, and is frequently found in the nose, respiratory tract, and on the skin. Skin infections are the most common form of S. aureus infection. This can manifest in
The pathos in this commercial is the long-standing myth that avocados are an unhealthy edible product. The pathos led to the state of paranoia and doubtful emotions. The system in which the commercial portrayed the pathos is through well-known different myths, superstitions, government cover-ups, and tall tales. All of this is building anticipation for the reveal of the product or service that is unknown at this point to the viewer.

Durian fruit. When people ask me how I feel about my Vietnamese culture, the first thing that comes to mind is durian fruit. Unlike the strawberries or cherries found at Safeway, durian fruit at first glance does not even look edible. The entire fruit resembles a dirty old football, except that durian weighs nearly three pounds. One-inch spikes and a tough brown outer peel cover the fruit, giving it an intimidating look. Inside, yellow, kidney-shaped pieces line the peel like orange slices. As a child, I hated durian. I refused to even taste it. Later on, when I was older, my mother bribed me with two dollars to try the meaty flesh. I fell in love with the fruit instantly. Its heavenly aroma tantalized my olfactory senses. The fleshy kidney-shaped parts felt as smooth as butter inside my mouth.
Economic events are largely governed by the interaction of supply and demand. The law of supply states that with ‘all else being equal’ (ceteris paribus), as market price of a good or service increases/decreases so will an increase/decrease in quantity supplied. In turn, the law of demand states as market price of a good or service increases/decreases ceteris paribus, the quantity demanded will increase/decrease accordingly. The Australian avocado industry is an indicative example of microeconomics - the study of individual consumer or business decision making and spending behaviour in relation to the allocation of a limited resource and the correlation of supply and demand in determining
Antibacterial soaps originally were used in the hospitals where initially it was effective in killing bacteria and other “Hospital” germs. However, it has been noted that in a healthy house these products are ineffective in doing keeping the family well. The soaps that the average Americans use is three parts water, which is quite diluted, compared to that of the hospitals. In addition, when washing hands, the necessary precautions to avoid more contamination are often not taken or fully remove all the bacteria that might harm us.
Over the years humans have tried every possibility to overcome the health problems, spread of epidemics and infections, disease control and have worked towards a healthy society free of disease and health problems. They have succeeded to a great extent. The book “Good germs, bad germs” describes that though the life expectancy is now far more as it was in previous eras. Epidemic problems and infectious diseases are now getting lesser and lesser and humans are being treated successfully. The hygienic conditions have also been improved so as to ensure least growth of microbes, germs, parasites and bacteria. Antibiotics have been invented to address diseases and infections caused by bacteria and viruses. With all these substantial efforts the biologists, physicians and scientists have triggered another epidemic which is even more severe. They have killed those microbes and bacterial species which were human friendly and as a result of either their disruption or mutation, pathogenic bacteria have even become more active and resistant to treatments. This has led to increased ineffectiveness of antibiotic drugs, low immunity and various infections and inflammatory diseases. The chlorinated water for drinking and food processing along with excessive hygienic conditions indicates our fight against these bacteria and germs. Further, these antibiotics are even given to the livestock which becomes our food and as result many of their resistant germs end up in our digestive tract and other organs. Thus, the war against microbes through excessive cleanliness and use of antibiotics has resulted in antibiotic resistance among humans, which has become one of the prominent problems of medical science
Avocado’s are loaded with healthy Total Fat, Potassium, Carbohydrates and Fiber. In a (173 g) avocado there are 27 g of total fat. 877 mg of Potassium, 15 g of Carbohydrates, 7 g of Protein and 12 g of Fiber.
The city’s water resources being a river, ground water and a reservoir are prone to having hazardous pathogens harmful to anyone who consumes water from the plant. Chlorination in water treatment is a common practice which is used to disinfect water from disease, however, it is known that when microbes attach to or are within particles of water they are protected from chlorine treatments. An alternate solution to chlorine is chloramine. Chloramine is the addition of ammonia to the chlorine compound. Once chloramine becomes in contact with water it is known as monochloramine. According to Gerstein (pg 719. 1931) and Holwerda (pg 719.1928) the germicidal properties were less when ammonia in chloramine was present. Monochloramine lasts a lot longer in water than chlorine therefore protecting the water from disease for a longer period of time. The water supply network consists of numerous pipes that potentially carry disease in them.
Avocado seeds are helpful in fat burning and slimming. They contain soluble fiber which is beneficial for providing us with a sense of satisfaction. The consumption of avocado seeds can reduce the
Nevertheless, when I joined the research program at my school, the study of microbiology also peaked my interest. During this program I developed an experiment that tested the inhibitory effect of honey, black pepper, and ginger against staphylococcus epidermis. This was done to recommend a natural substitute to a harmful synthetic chemical (triclosan), which is used in antibacterial hygiene products. The success of this experiement in competition solidifed my insterest in a science related
Agave tequilana is used due to its high inulin concentration, low fiber content, and abundance of chemical compounds that contribute to tequila’s final taste and flavor. This species of agave grows best in the areas surrounding the city of Tequila because climate and soil conditions are ideal: 3-47 Co (optimal temperature of 26 Co), annual rainfall of 800-900 mm yearly and fertile soil of shallow depth (30 to 40 centimeters) (2,3). Additionally, agaves grown in the highlands region have a sweeter aroma and taste than the lowlands regions, which have an herbaceous flavor and odor (4).
Bananas are number four on the list of staple crops in the world and one of the biggest profit-makers in supermarkets, making them critical for economic and global food security. Bananas have become such a common, inexpensive grocery item that people often forget where they come from and how they got here. On an average, consumption of 6.4 billion pounds of Banana annually is observed. They are tasty, cheap, and plentiful. Chances are, you will buy or eat a Banana at least once in a week. You might be surprised to know what it takes to get that delicious, cheap, yellow commodity into your hands—the price is paid by the environment. For fresh fruit and vegetables, safe indicates that the product is free from chemical residues, pests and diseases and is also nutritious (Norshamliza and Batt 2015).One Banana after lunch is invariably a regular practice to keep good bowel movement and heart diseases. Food adulteration has become common practices that the Departments of Health and Agriculture must check the practice.
In this experiment, lipids from ground nutmeg are extracted using a combination of solvents and identify the lipids through chromatography. The purpose of using solvent combinations is to elute the lipids based on their polarity to binding of the silica gel. The chromatography is performed on a silica gel plate and the use of iodine to visualize the lipids. By calculating the Rf values for each compound and comparing them to the known lipids, we are able to distinguish the lipids within the grounded nutmeg.
