EVALUATION OF THE ACTIVITY OF SOME FRUIT WASTES AGAINST VIRUSES AND CANCER CELL LINES

Abstract

Fruit processing produces large amounts of waste, which is in the peels and seeds, etc. Its disposal represents a big problem that required direction to exploit these waste uses more useful, such as use as additives for food or feed supplement because they contain a high nutritional value of earning great importance. Also headed low profile to be used in the treatment earning them a great economic importance, since it is well known that these products represent an important source of sugars, minerals and organic acids, in addition to dietary fiber and polyphenols which have many adverse effects of cancers, viruses and bacteria and heart disease, the research aims to evaluate the possibility of eating products secondary resulting from the manufacture of certain fruits such as grapes (seeds), oranges (peels) as a source of high-value compounds in the treatment of cancers and viruses .In recent years, significant progress in the development of new antiviral drugs and cancer event It was found that natural products and plant compounds derived (phytochemicals), are important for the pharmaceutical anti-viral. The potential sources raised the inadequacy of the current methods for the treatment of cancer search for new strategies, which are more effective and have a greater acceptance patient is due to the high toxicity associated current treatment for cancer system, an increasing number of patients resort to complementary therapies, which often involve the use of natural products, phytochemicals specifically, given the widespread use of these products and complementary therapies in many diseases, including cancer, it has become it is necessary to characterize these compounds scientifically and understand the mechanism of action. The grape seeds from plant products which are used as feed supplement extract. The effectiveness of grape seed extract has been shown as an antidote to many types of cancers such as lung, breast and colon, as recommended by some epidemiological studies that diets containing Alvitusterol of orange peel (albedo) reduces the risk of colon cancer and breast cancer in humans This study developed in order to assess the activity of grape seeds and orange peel extracts albedo as anti-virus and cancer cells and the effect of these extracts on the genes responsible for the death of cancer cells
