Received April 5, 2016 Revised May 20, 2016 Approved May 27, 2016 Bali Pig is one of germplasm whose existence is very limited until now. This is due to the very low growth and breeding compared to other types such as Landrace pigs, Duroc, and Laghwhite. However, Bali pig has an advantage among others such as able to utilize lack quality feed so it is suitable to maintain in a rural areas. To k...

Curcuma angustifolia also known as ‘haledo’ is commonly found in Sikkim and has many medicinal uses and has been used traditionally since ancient ages. Its rhizome is aromatic and the solvent extract of the rhizome has free radical scavenging activity which was carried out in this study by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl DPPH. Hot methanol extract and cold methanol extract of the dried powder of ...

An acetone powder of cat brain catalyzed the synthesis of two radioactive products when incubated with L-aspartate-14C and acetyl coenzyme A. The products were identified as Nacetyl-aspartic acid and citric acid. A water extract of the powder contained the system that produced citrate-14C, while the residue contained the aspartate N-acetyltransferase activity. The soluble system rather than the...

Plant derived products have been used for medicinal purposes for centuries. In traditional Indian medicine or Ayurveda, Zingiber officinale and many other herbs have been used as medicine. Traditional uses of plants have led to investigating their bioactive compounds, which have resulted in the detection of a significant number of therapeutic properties. Aim of the study: The present study was ...

The antibacterial activity of leaf juice and extracts of Moringa oleifera Lam., belonging to the family Moringaceae, was determined in vitro, using disc diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination method against human pathogenic bacteria. The fresh leaf juice (10 μl disc-1), powder from fresh leaf juice, cold water extract of fresh leaf, each of 1175 μg disc-1, displayed ...

The safety of Salacia plant (Salacia reticulata) extract powder, which is used in Ayurvedic medical practices, was studied in a dose range-finding subchronic toxicity study in Crl:CD Sprague-Dawley rats. Male and female rats were randomly assigned to 4 treatment groups and were treated by oral gavage with 0, 10, 65, and 400 mg/kg body weight/day of the powder for 91 days. Body weight, food cons...

s The purpose of this study was carried out by the embryotoxicity risk assessment of the dental alloys containing indium. We produced Ag-In alloy, Ag-Pd-Au-Cu alloy and gold alloy for porcelain bonding. For the extraction of these alloy components into the ES-D3 cell culture medium, each alloy was reduced to a powder using a diamond point and sterilized after rinsing. In order to facilitate the...

The whole saltwort plant (Salicornia herbacea) was micronized to develop the table salt substitute. The micronized powder was mixed with distilled water and made into a spherical granule by using the fluid-bed coater (SGMPDW). The SGMPDW had superior flowability to powder; however, it had low dispersibility. To increase the dispersibility of SGMPDW, the micronized powder was mixed with the solu...
