The methanolic extract of Acacia nilotica (L.) Willd ex. Delile (black thorn tree) seed materials, an underutilized food legume collected from India was found to contain total free phenolic content of 14.57 ± 1.69 g catechin equivalent/100 g extract DM. Encouraging levels of ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP, 1840 mmol Fe[II]/mg extract), inhibition of ß-carotene degradation (53.26%) and ...

plants are potent biochemists; biologically active compounds present in the medicinal plants have always been ofgreat interest to scientists working in this field. thus, the aim of the current study was to screen the antimicrobial activity of acacia nilotica, ziziphus mauritiana, bauhinia variegate and lantana camara against some selected clinical isolated strains. although previous studies hav...

The present study aims to identify the impact of polluted aquatic body i.e. River Hindon on two selected riparian flora i.e. Azadirachta indica and Acacia nilotica. During the course of study the average concentration of different metals in river water was found as Iron (Fe) 11.27ppm±3.50, Manganese (Mn) 4.00ppm±1.26, Cadmium (Cd) 0.08ppm±0.07, Nickel (Ni) 0.63ppm±0.17 and Zinc (Zn) 1.46ppm±0.3...

The increasing rate of woody plant encroachment in grasslands or savannas remains a challenge to livestock farmers. The causes and control measures of woody plant encroachment are of common interest, especially where it negatively affects the objectives of an agricultural enterprise. The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of gut passage (goats, cattle), dung (nutrients), fir...

Antibiotic resistance among bacteria is becoming a major problem in the treatment of many infections. Hence, there is need to find an alternative way by using medicinal plants to overcome the antibiotic resistance and source of novel drug for the treatment of these bacterial diseases. This work aimed at evaluating the possibility of applying hexane extracts of Allium sativum bulbs, Calotropis p...
