Introduction: Lipid oxidation, including LDL oxidation, plays a pivotal role in development of atherosclerosis. Supplementing diet with antioxidants, such as vitamin E and walnut husk hydroalcoholic extract, may prevent LDL oxidation. In the present study, we investigated the in vitro effects of walnut husk hydroalcoholic extract on serum LDL oxidation caused by copper sulfate. Method: Blood sa...

A biomass waste, rice husk, was inspected by thermoanalytical investigation to evaluate its capability as an adsorbent medium for tar removal. The pyrolysis process has been applied to the rice husk material at different temperatures 600, 800 and 1000 °C with 20 °C/min heating rate, to investigate two topics: (1) influence of temperature on characterization of rice husk char and; (2) adsorption...

The importance of removal of heavy metals from drinking water has received significant attention of researchers and decision makers across the globe. Bio-adsorbents have emerged as potential remediation materials for the removal of heavy metals and metalloids from both groundwater and surface water. Plants, algae, fungi are some of the biomass derived adsorbents which are capable of removing he...

Groundwater seems to be the most significant natural source of potable water for millions individuals. Fluoride pollution in groundwater is a big problem Tamil Nadu’s Dharmapuri area. According survey done school area, dental and skeletal fluoroses afflict almost 75% kids. There no proven or recommended cost-effective strategy lowering fluoride levels home.

The main objective of this study is to explore development of pharmaceutical excipients from the husk obtained from the seeds of Plantago ovata. Husk shows very good swelling property in water due to the major part of mucilage in it. Since swelling is one of the mechanisms of action of some tablet disintegrants, it is thought that the husk powder of Plantago ovata would be able to act as a tabl...
