INTRODUCTION Applicant moves for judgment on the pleadings (“Motion”), arguing that “there is no genuine issue as to Opposer’s lack of prior rights in a trademark that could be confusingly similar to Applicant’s Mark.” (Motion pg. 3.)1 Applicant’s Motion is not well taken. It acknowledges that Opposer has alleged exactly what it takes issue with – that Opposer has prior rights in a trademark that could be confusingly similar to Applicant’s Mark. Despite this, Applicant seeks to take issue with those allegations, implicitly contending that Opposer will be unable to prove what it has alleged. (Motion pg. 2.) This is not a proper basis for judgment on the pleadings, which must accept as true all allegations asserted in the Opposition.

  • Citrus Aurantifolia) Peel Extract
    Proceedings of the 5th NA International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management Detroit, Michigan, USA, August 10 - 14, 2020 Identification of Saponins and Flavonoids in Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) Peel Extract Dheasy Herawati, Evy Ratnasari Ekawati, and Siti Nur Husnul yusmiati Faculty of Health Science University of Maarif Hasyim Latif Sidoarjo [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) peel has an important role in human health. Components contained in lime (Citrus aurantifolia) peel can be utilized in medical field. Lime peel is the site of accumulation of flavonoid and saponin compounds. Both compounds are useful for human health. The purpose of this study was to identify saponin and flavonoid compounds in lime (Citrus aurantifolia) peel. This study was a descriptive study. Foam test on lime (Citrus aurantifolia) peel extract revealed saponin compound, while extract test of lime (Citrus aurantifolia) peel using UV-Vis spectrophotometer revealed the presence of flavonoid compound with a level of 1.12%. Keywords : Saponin, Flavonoid, Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) peel extract. 1. Introduction Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) is one type of citrus (Citrus) which contains chemical compounds that are beneficial for health, including citric acid, amino acids (tryptophan, lysine) essential oils (citral, limonene, phellandrene, lemon campher, cadinene, glycosides, calcium, phosphorus, fats, iron, sulphur, vitamin B1 and C. Lime also contains saponin and flavonoid compounds, namely hesperetin (hesperetin 7-rutinoside), tangeretin, naringin, eriocitrin and eriocitrocid (Adindaputri et al., 2013). Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) peel has an important role to human health. Components contained in lime (Citrus aurantifolia) peel can be used to lower cholesterol levels in blood.

  • Bush Food IS-5 Lime July09.Pub
    Australian Bush Foods: Information Sheet 5 Wild Limes Citrus spp. Common names: Desert Lime, Finger Lime, Sunrise Lime, Outback Lime and Blood Lime. Distribution: Sourced from several species of native Australian citrus species, these fruits can be found in many environments, from rainforests to arid areas. Desert Lime is widespread in inland woodlands and scrubs and on heavy clay soils in New South Wales and southern Queensland. In South Australia it is only found in a small area north-west of Port Augusta. Three cultivars of wholly or partly Australian native citrus parentage have been developed by CSIRO at their Merbein research facility: the Australian Outback Lime, the Australian Blood Lime and the Australian Sunrise Lime. Description: A spiny shrub or small slender tree with slender leaves and small citrus fruits. The white flowers, produced in spring, are followed in late spring and summer by yellow or orange or green fruits. Some of the fruits resemble tiny lemons, while others are long and thin. All have a porous rind and sour juicy centre. The Outback Lime is an improved variety of desert lime (Citrus glauca), selected for its larger fruit and because of its natural tendency to ripe fruit. The Sunrise Lime arose from a hybrid of the native finger lime and a calamondin (cross between a mandarin and a cumquat). The Blood Lime was selected from a cross between a sour mandarin and a pigmented variant of the native finger lime (Citrus australasica). Despite all cultivars having a lemon-like acidity, each lime has its own unique flavour. Commercial use: Fruit is available from producers fresh, frozen or preserved in a sugar syrup.
