Fresh fruits are rich sources of polyphenolic compounds. The polyphenolics present in plant sources are known to have beneficial effects, especially in the prevention of cardio-vascular diseases, cancer, etc. Therefore, the consumption of fresh fruits is not only associated with vitamin supplementation, but also serves as an effective preventive agent for many diseases. The polyphenolic compoun...

Phenolic compounds were extracted from three wild grapevine species: Vitis californica, V. riparia and V. amurensis seeds using 80% methanol or 80% acetone. The total content of phenolic compounds was determined utilizing the Folin-Ciocalteu's phenol reagent while the content of tannins was assayed with the vanillin and BSA precipitation methods. Additionally, the DPPH free radical scavenging a...

The use of bioactive tanniniferous plants was suggested as an alternative to control gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) infections in small ruminants. This study aimed to evaluate the anthelmintic effect of acetonic extract of Hedysarum coronarium (Ecotype Bikra 21, sulla) as fresh or dried biomass (hay) in the infective larvae (L3) of Haemonchus contortus. The larval exsheathment assay (LEA) was...

Environmental issues are nowadays the prime concern worldwide for leather industries due to chrome containing solid and liquid wastes generated from tannery. Therefore, experts being encouraged in exploring alternative tanning agents. This study aimed at applying a novel vegetable agent extracted Xylocarpus granatum barks production of semi-chrome (SC) retanned (CR) leathers reduce chromium use...

Tomato pomace (TP) has previously been identified as a coproduct that is rich in bioactive molecules, with potential beneficial effects for health. For tomato composed of the skin, seeds and fibers, challenge to recover molecules interest trapped biopolymers. The use deep eutectic solvents extract metabolites from vegetable materials could present some advantages. Four natural (NaDESs) were syn...

The fruits of Solanum torvum (Swartz), a vegetable-fruit, are used in traditional medicine Togo the treatment infectious diseases and as an anti-anemic. This study then focused on antimicrobial activity assessment hydroethanolic extract these interest contributing to valorization this Togolese flora’s species. A extraction (50 % - 50 %: v/v) was performed followed by preliminary phytochemical t...

We investigated the effects of CO2 enrichment on fine root chemical composition of two tree species common to northern hardwood forests. Two-year-old Betula papyrifera and 3-year-old Acer saccharum saplings were grown under ambient (400 μmol·mol–1) and elevated (700 μmol·mol–1) CO2 in a glasshouse experiment. In both species, root/shoot ratios and fine root percentages (of total biomass) were u...

Abstract:
 Borago officinalis is highly interesting amongst nutritional and medical source relate to its high composition of some useful phytochemical compound. It great plants with bright blue star-shaped flowers present in most world regions usually known as borage. The analysis showed the presence alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, phenolic acids, essential oil, vitamins others. Borage cul...
