Published: September 2003

A short cut review was carried out to establish whether ascobate drops are useful in the management of alkalis burns to the eyes. Altogether 33 papers were found using the reported search, of which one presented the best evidence to answer the clinical question. The author, date and country of publication, patient group studied, study type, relevant outcomes, results and study weaknesses of this best paper are tabulated. A clinical bottom line is stated.

peels are rich in bioactive phenolic compounds with various health effects including antioxidant, antiobesity, antiinflammatory, antihypertensive, antihypercholesterolemic, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, and anticarcinogenic activities. Both extractable and nonextractable phenolics are present in significant amounts in peel with diverse bioactivities. While extractable phenolics can be recovered from the fruit peels by conventional extraction methods, nonextractable phenolics remaining in the residues must be released from the cell matrix first by hydrolysis with acid, alkali, or enzymes.

Litchi is popular among consumers due to its delicious taste, however, the extremely short shelf life limits its commercial value. Few studies have been conducted to develop new technologies to extend the shelf life of litchi. Therefore, this study applied a novel technique (low voltage electrostatic field, LVEF) combined with ice-temperature (0 °C) treatment on litchi and evaluated its quality characteristics during storage.
