Dyeability of Silk Fabrics Using Extracts of Ligustrum Japonicum Thunb Fruit

Antidiarrheal Evaluation of Benincasa hispida (Thunb.) Cogn. Fruit Extracts

The methanolic extract of fruit of Benincasa hispida (BHFE) was evaluated for its antidiarrheal potential against several experimental models of diarrhea in rats. BHFE treated animals showed significant inhibi-tory activity against castor oil induced diarrhea and inhibited PGE2 induced enter pooling in rats. It also showed significant reduction in gastro intestinal motility following charcoal m...

Effect of Plasma on Dyeability of Fabrics

The unique physical and chemical characteristics of the plasma environment make it attractive for textile processing. Plasma is an ionized gas, i.e. it contains electrons, ions and neutral atoms and/or molecules. However, not all of the ionized gases used in textile processing will exhibit the properties associated with plasmas, mainly because of their low charge state densities compared to the...

Dyeability and Antimicrobial Properties of Cotton Fabrics Finished with Punica Granatum Extracts

The dry rind of the pomegranate (Punica granatum) has been used as dye stuff since earlier times. In the present study the dye extracts were obtained from the rinds of the P. granatum and used for dyeing the cotton fabrics. The fabrics were assessed for antimicrobial, dyeability and fastness properties. The color strength (K/S) of dyed fabric was assessed through dyeability test. The antibacter...

detection of volatile compounds of medicinal plants with some nano-sorbents using modified or new methodologies and investigation of antioxidant activity of their methanolic extracts

in this work, a novel and fast method for direct analysis of volatile compounds (davc) of medicinal plants has been developed by holding a filament from different parts of a plant in the gc injection port. the extraction and analysis of volatile components of a small amount of plant were carried out in one-step without any sample preparation. after optimization of temperature, extraction time a...
