Many health benefits are associated with a high dietary intake of vegetables and fruit (VF); however, little effort has been expended to determine whether the botanical families from which high-VF diets are formulated affect their biological activities. The objective of this study was to determine whether the botanical diversity of high-VF diets alters the response in oxidative biomarkers for l...

Whether they are being taken as dietary supplements by the general public or being evaluated in a clinical study, the authenticity of botanical products is a matter of paramount concern. Botanical specimens and the dietary supplements derived from them can vary in quality and in chemical constituent profiles because of a number of factors. Subtle variations in botanical specimens are known to h...

Botanical insecticides are relatively safe and degradable, and are readily available sources of biopesticides. The most prominent phytochemical pesticides in recent years are those derived from neem trees, which have been studied extensively in the fields of entomology and phytochemistry, and have uses for medicinal and cosmetic purposes. The neem products have been obtained from several specie...

Wheat being staple food of Pakistan is constantly attacked by major wheat aphid species, Schizaphis graminum (R.), Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) and Sitobion avenae (F.). Due to concern on synthetic chemical use in wheat, it is imperative to search for alternative environment- and human- friendly control measures such as botanical pesticides. In the present study, we evaluated the comparative role of...

Abstract Cabbage is considered as one of the most commonly found vegetables and it has been cultivated in large areas throughout year. As mostly grown areas, higher rate pest infestation likely to occur, which hinder its total production consumption. However, continuous use synthetic pesticides agricultural management often leads various negative impacts such development resistance by pest, adv...

Abstract Background Entomopathogens are frequent natural enemies of arthropods worldwide, and they capable alternative control agents against the important pests. The optimally selected botanical product can minimize their harmful effect on these entomopathogens, it becomes essential to know influence combinations botanicals biopesticides (botanical biopesticide combination (BBC)) in comparison...

1064 Identification of Articles of Botanical Origin by High-Performance ThinLayer Chromatography Procedure. High-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) is widely used for botanical identification. Variability of the chromatographic conditions has the potential to significantly impact the results. This informational general chapter describes, with illustrations, the need to control the re...
