The aim of the study was to analyze the influence of oven thermal processing of Cosmos caudatus on the total polyphenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant capacity (DPPH) of two different solvent extracts (80% methanol, and 80% ethanol). Sonication was used to extract bioactive compounds from this herb. The results showed that the optimised conditions for the oven drying method for 80% methanol an...

The extractive efficiency of phenolic compounds from plant material is greatly depended on the solvent. In our research, methanol and ethanol were used for taking out the phenols from green walnut fruits. The total phenolics and some individual phenolics, such as gallic, chlorogenic, ellagic, sinapic and protocatechuic acid, (+)-catechin and juglone were detected. Total phenolic contents were d...

Platy particles of NaNbO 3 were successfully prepared by a solvothermal reaction using methanol/ethanol mixed solvent, in contrast to the formation cubic from methanol alone.

We observed a contractile action of ethanol (20-500 mM) and other alcohols (methanol and propanol, but not butanol) in guinea pig gastric longitudinal (LM) and circular (CM) smooth muscle preparations. The potency order for the alcohols in the LM preparation was: ethanol = propanol > methanol; and in the CM preparation, propanol > ethanol > methanol. Like epidermal growth factor-urogastrone (EG...

Exploring the adsorption and separation of water, methanol, and ethanol is important concerning the use of a sustainable energy source from biofuel. In this paper, the effects of the flexibility of substituted groups have been studied based on three iso-reticular metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), in which the pore surface is decorated with propargyl (-CH2-C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CH), all...

Genistein, but not daidzein, binds to copper(II) with a 1:2 stoichiometry in ethanol and with a 1:1 stoichiometry in methanol, indicating chelation by the 5-phenol and the 4-keto group of the isoflavonoid as demonstrated by the Jobs method and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. In ethanol, the stability constants had the value 1.12 × 1011 L²∙mol-2 for the 1:2 complex and in methanol 6.0 × 10⁵ ...

The present study deals with the effect of increased concentrations of alcohols (methanol and ethanol) on the solubilization of FePO4 and CaHPO4 by Aspergillus niger. The efficiency of solubilization (ES) of inorganic phosphates, fungal growth, acid production and pH variation were determined. The concentrations of alcohols that most favored the solubilization of phosphates were 4% methanol and...

The effectiveness of four different electron donors, specifically methanol, ethanol, glycerol, and sulfide (added as Na(2)S), were evaluated in post-denitrifying bench-scale moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBRs). With the requirement for more wastewater treatment plants to reach effluent total nitrogen levels approaching 3 mg/L, alternative electron donors could promote more rapid MBBR startup/ac...

I. In several experiments the kinetics and questionable mutial influences of Methanol, Propanol-1 and Isobutanol were examined while Ethanol was present. II. In five different experiments 30 persons got separate congeners (7 mg Methanol/kg body weight, 5 mg Propanol-1/kg body weight, 5 mg Isobutanol/kg body weight) with 0.8 g Ethanol/kg body weight. The times of drinking took both 30 and 60 min...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different doses of pistachio by-product (PBP) extracts supplemented with alfalfa hay (AH) or barley grain (BG) on microbial fermentation in an in vitro fermentation system. The total extracted phenolic compounds were 36.96, 65.78, 67.02 and 8.85% and total extracted tannin contents were 37.11, 59.64, 56.87 and 7.55% when PBP was extract...
