Abstract The antibacterial activity of crude extract Nigella sative was studied on the some pathogenic bacteria by using paper disc diffusion. tested strains were: Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and psendomonas aeruginosa . results were showed that produced inhibition zone in all ranging from (20 mm) S.aureus MRSA (12 P.aureginusa Some Volatile Oils determ...

Essential oils of the fruits of three organically grown cultivars of Egyptian fennel (Foeniculum vulgare var. azoricum, Foeniculum vulgare var. dulce and Foeniculum vulgare var. vulgare) were examined for their chemical constituents, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis of the essential oils revealed the presence of 18 major monoterpenoids in a...

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) coupled to a microreactor is an excellent tool for the investigation of reactions in solution. Here, we report the first results of our investigations into preparatively interesting electron-transfer-initiated chain reactions in solution which proceed via radical cations as reactive intermediates. The tris(p-bromophenyl)aminium hexachloroantimo...

Although spices have been used for thousands of years and are known for their flavor, taste and color in the food, they are not usually recognized for their medicinal value. Extensive research within the last two decades from our laboratory and others has indicated that there are phytochemicals present in spices that may prevent various chronic illnesses including cancerous, diabetic, cardiovas...

Extraction of essential oils from medicinal plants has received researcher’s attention as it has a wide variety of applications in different industries. In this study, ultrasonic method has been used to facilitate the extraction of active ingredient anethole from fennel seeds. Effect of different parameters like extraction time (20, 40, and 60 min), power (80, 240, and 400 Watts) and solid part...
