Different fraction obtained from the aerial parts of Juniperus phoenicea showed significant activity as hepatoprotective when investigated against carbon tetrachloride induced liver injury. The hepatoprotective activity was evaluated through the quantification of biochemical parameters and confirmed using histopathology study. Phytochemical investigation of the petroleum ether, chloroform and m...

The beneficial effects of Juniperus communis L. extracts have been known for a long time. Therefore scientific knowledge the chemical profile leading to this bioactivity is required. aim paper highlight influence geographical origin and harvest time on compositional elements hydroalcoholic J. pseudo-fruits, but also their antibacterial properties. samples were collected from three mountainous a...

Juniper (Juniperus communis) is a slowly growing softwood species that has unusually high elasticity. To demonstrate the utilization of the material properties of juniper, conventional kraft pulping was used to prepare juniper pulp, whose handsheet and fiber properties were subsequently analyzed. A large number of uncooked fiber bundles remained after pulping, the screened yield was low, and ka...

Aim Plant growth and phenology respond plastically to changing climatic conditions in both space time. Species-specific levels of plasticity determine biogeographical patterns the adaptive capacity species climate change. However, a direct assessment spatial temporal variability radial dynamics is complicated, because long records cambial do not exist. Location Sixteen sites across European dis...

A Redberry juniper is a basal-sprouting, evergreen conifer that occurs in west and northcentral Texas, southwestern Oklahoma, southeastern New Mexico, and northeastern Mexico (Adams and Zanoni 1979). A distribution map, based on a 1948 Soil Conservation Service (SCS) survey of all juniper (cedar) species in Texas was prepared by Allred (1949) (Figure 1 a). A 1982 SCS survey mapped the distribut...

The complex nature of botanicals and essential oils makes it difficult to identify all of the constituents by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) alone. In this paper, automated sequential, multidimensional gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-GC/MS) was used to obtain a matrix-specific, retention time/mass spectrometry library of 190 juniper berry oil compounds. GC/MS analysis on ...

The volatile constituents obtained from Juniperus communis berries by the application of different methods, Hydro distillation (HD), Super Critical Fluid Extraction (SFE) and Headspace (HSE) static technique were examined as regards their qualitative and quantitative composition. Significant differences were noticed among the percentages of the main components of the extracts: the monoterpene h...
