A large number of medicinal plants have therapeutic potentials. In this study polyphenolic extracts from leaves of Wattakaka volubilis have been applied for HPLC, which reports the presence of seven flavonoids. Extracts have been tested for antimitotic and antiproliferating activities. Allium cepa root tips were been used to evaluate cytotoxicity. Polyphenolic and methanolic extracts were toxic...

Uranyl nitrate inhibited root growth of Allium cepa at > or = 25 microM concentration. Fluorimetric analysis of metal uptake indicated the entry and accumulation of uranium into the root cell. Uranyl nitrate was neither clastogenic nor aneugenic as it failed to induce micronuclei significantly, but between 25 and 100 microM concentration, it increased significantly the frequency of sister chrom...

<p>Fabrikasi DSSC dengan menggunakan sensitizer zat warna sintetik yang mahal dan susah diperoleh dapat diatasi memanfaatkan alami dari limbah biomassa kulit bawang merah. Penelitian tentang ekstraksi antosianin merah <em>(Allium cepa)</em> pemanfaatannya sebagai pemeka (<em>sensitizer</em>) pada <em>Dye Sensitized Solar Cell</em> (DSSC) telah dilakukan...

BACKGROUND: Interest in the potential benefits of allium vegetables, in particular, onion (Allium cepa) and garlic (Allium sativum), has its origin in antiquity, but the details of these benefits are still open to discussion. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the role of allium vegetables in the etiology of various neoplasms. Previous data are scanty and are based mainly on Chinese studies. DESIGN: Us...

Methanol extracts of onion peel waste (Allium cepa) were applied as natural sensitizer in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) fabrication. This research investigated the dye characteristics extract and its power conversion efficiency. Onion extraction was carried out using unacidified methanol (UME) acidified (AME). Dye absorption characterized by UV-Vis Spectrophotometer at a wavelength 200-800 n...

The present study was designed to evaluate the phytochemical profile and the anti-inflammatory, analgesic and anti-convulsant activity of methanolic extracts of Allium sativum, L.(peel of the bulb), Arachis hypogaea, L. (fruit shell), Citrus limon, L. (rind of the fruit), Punica granatum, L.(rind of the fruit) and Vitis vinifera, L.( seed).

Nnam gon, a cake made by steam cooking a mixture of Cucurbitaceae seeds paste and others ingredients specially spices, is a highly prized dish in Central African region. A preliminary investigation conducted as part of this study highlighted that formulations used in the processing of Nnam gon vary according to the spices used. This study was carried out to determine the best formulation for th...

From the physical point of view, soil is a heterogenic polydisperse system. It often becomes a place of a secondary contamination during extinguishing uncontrolled areal fires in nature. Foam extinguishing agents (FEAs), used at these events, basically contain surface active substances and perfluorinated compounds. These tend to be captured in the soil matrix due to their specific properties. C...
