In-vitro antibacterial properties of crude aqueous and n-hexane extracts of the husk of Cocos nucifera.
The increasing numbers of cases of antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria such as Vibrio species poses a major problem to the food and aquaculture industries, as most antibiotics are no longer effective in controlling pathogenic bacteria affecting these industries. Therefore, this study was carried out to assess the antibacterial potentials of crude aqueous and n-hexane extracts of the...
متن کاملAnti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities of Cocos nucifera var. typica
BACKGROUND Teas from the husk fiber of Cocos nucifera are used in the folk medicine to treat arthritis and other inflammatory processes. Some works show that some varieties have biological activities. However, one of the main variety of the species, C. nucifera var. typica, known in Brazil as "gigante", was not studied yet. Thus, this study evaluates if this variety has the anti-inflammatory an...
متن کاملProbable mechanisms of biocidal action of Cocos nucifera Husk extract and fractions on bacteria isolates
BACKGROUND The incidence of resistance to the existing antibiotics by microorganisms demand increased effort in the development of new antibiotics for the treatment of microbial infections and diseases. Infections due to multidrug resistant pathogens are difficult to manage due to relatively limited choices of antimicrobial agents. This study investigated antimicrobial activities of the husk ex...
متن کاملThe husk fiber of Cocos nucifera L. (Palmae) is a source of anti-neoplastic activity.
In the present study, we investigated the in vitro anti-tumoral activities of fractions from aqueous extracts of the husk fiber of the typical A and common varieties of Cocos nucifera (Palmae). Cytotoxicity against leukemia cells was determined by the 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Cells (2 x 10(4)/well) were incubated with 0, 5, 50 or 500 microg/mL hi...
متن کاملEvaluation of Biodiesel Blending of Cocos Nucifera Oil Methyl Ester Produced from Alkaline-Catalyzed Transesterification Reaction
The prospect of using cocos nucifera Oil for production of biodiesel via transesterification reaction was investigated. The use of ethanol for the transesterification reaction instead of methanol was also evaluated. Test quantities of biodiesel were produced using 100 g, 20.0% and 0.8% of </span...
