Morus nigra L. is a species popularly known in the Northeast of Brazil as “amora miúra”. This source flavonoids with antioxidant activity. Antioxidants play an important role preservation cosmetic formulations, and they neutralize free radicals. The objective this study was to develop topical emulsion containing leaf extract L., well evaluate stability, antibacterial activities formulations. A ...

In this study, we investigated how the extent of ripeness affects the yield of extract, total phenolics, total flavonoids, individual flavonols and phenolic acids in strawberry and mulberry cultivars from Pakistan. In strawberry, the yield of extract (%), total phenolics (TPC) and total flavonoids (TFC) ranged from 8.5-53.3%, 491-1884 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/100 g DW and 83-327 mg cate...

Knowing a chemical composition of preferred feed plants the Turkestan termite will enable development effective and available agents to be used for its control, that is particularly important during period rapid population growth global warming. In this work, compositions ensure normal – moisture, components organic extracts, aqueous pectins, hemicellulose, cellulose, lignin reducing sugars hav...

BACKGROUND Drug-induced liver injury is a major health problem that challenges not only health care professionals but also the pharmaceutical industry and drug regulatory agencies. The possible hepatoprotective effect of the administration of mulberry ethanolic extract (MUL) leaves against hepatotoxic effect of the anti-rheumatic drug, methotrexate (MTX) was evaluated in this study both vivo (u...

In the present work, the fresh juice of black mulberry (Morus nigra) was tested for antimicrobial activity against various pathogenic microorganisms. Total antioxidant contents, total phenolic contents, total anthocyanins, trace minerals, total acid contents, total solids and ascorbic acid content were also evaluated. The results showed good antimicrobial activity both for Grampositive and Gram...

We analyzed the anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities of total flavonoids (TF) found in black mulberry fruits. The TF content was 20.9 mg/g (dry weight). Two anthocyanins, cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (8.3 mg/g) and cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside (2.9 mg/g), were identified in the fruits by UPLC. The TF of black mulberry fruits had significant reducing power and radical (OH(-), O2(·-), DPPH and A...

Natural dyes have been used for staining wool, silk, carpet and cotton in addition to their uses in staining of tissue microscopical sections. The binding of dyes to textile products has been studied for many years, but is sti l l not fully understood. Less is known about the interaction between the dye and tissue components. Black mulberry (Morus nigra) fruits have strong staining activity and...

The present study reports the synthesis of silver nanoparticle using Morus nigra leaf extract were used as reducing agent for reduction of silver nitrate solution. The synthesis of silver nanoparticles was analyzed by UV-Visible spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy. The SEM analysis has shown that size of silver nanoparticles synthesized from leaves extract of M.nigra was 200 nm and seems...
