Objective: The Achillea species have been used to treat various ailments due its anti-inflammatory, hemostatic, spasmolytic and cholagogue effects in the Turkish traditional medicine. However, there is no biological activity studies on some except for well-knowns. This work aimed determine antioxidant, antimicrobial cytotoxic activities of crude ethanolic extracts fractions sintenisii using vit...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the antioxidant activity and protective potential of T. tetraptera extracts against ion toxicity. The antioxidant activity of the extracts was investigated spectrophotometrically against several radicals (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH(•)), 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS(•)), hydroxyl radical (HO(•)), and nitric o...

One of the main compounds in Ishige okamurae, diphlorethohydroxycarmalol (DPHC), is known to exhibit antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects. However, it has not been investigated extensively. In this study, preparative centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC) coupled with 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) online HPLC was employed for effectively separating consid...

:Laccases are oxidoreductases enzymes that belong to the sub class copper oxidases.They mainly produced by white rot fungi which involved in lignin metabolism. The objectiveof this research was effective utilization of agro wastes for economical production laccasefrom, Pleurotusflorida. Submerged fermentation employed enzymeand namely rice husk, wheat bran and sugarcane bagasse used as substrat...

In this study, we investigated the physicochemical characteristics and antioxidant activity of fermented vinegar using onion black onion. When were in alcohol for 8 days, content both (OV) (BV) increased, whereas their sugar decreased. The was higher OV than that BV. acetic acid 20 pH BV decreased, total acidity increased. After fermentation, main free sugars fructose glucose, they OV. major or...

Essential oils from plants have been proven safe as natural antioxidants, and few are already marketed as digestive enhancers as well as in prevention of several degenerative diseases. This study evaluated the antioxidant capacity of seed and shell essential oils of Abrus precatorius (L), a herb used for ethno-medicinal practices in Nigeria. The essential oils were obtained by hydro-distillatio...

The aim of the study was to characterize the chemical composition and biological properties of the essential oil from the plant Lippia citriodora grown in Greece. The essential oil volatiles were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry GC-MS indicating citral as the major component. Τhe antimicrobial properties were assayed using the disk diffusion method and the minimum inhibitory and...

Ricinus communis has been utilized traditionally as medicine to treat inflammatory related diseases including wounds, sores, and boils. The leaves of R. communis were sequentially extracted with n-hexane, dichloromethane, acetone, and methanol using serial exhaustive extraction method. Antioxidant activity of all crude extracts was quantitatively measured against 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothi...
