Bougainvillea is widely used in traditional Mexican medicine to treat several diseases. This study was designed to characterize the chemical constituents of B. x buttiana extracts with antioxidant and cytotoxic activities using different solvents. The extraction solvents used were as follows: distilled water (dH₂O), methanol (MeOH), acetone (DMK), ethanol (EtOH), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), dichloro...

The type of thermal processing either roasting or boiling gave an effect on the antioxidant quality of ginger (Zingiber officinale Ross) rhizome extracts.It was found that 6 minutes of either roasting or boiling gave the best effect of its antioxidant activity. This condition was shown by the free radical activity of extract of roasted samples: 84.21 ± 0.18% and 83.59 ± 0.52% for the boiled one...

Abstract Mesoporous, bifunctional MgO-SnO 2 nanocatalysts with enhanced surface area are used for producing biodiesel from waste cooking oil. Biodiesel yield of 80% is achieved within the first 20 min when transesterification carried out at an optimum condition 18:1 methanol to oil ratio, wt% nanocatalyst, and a reaction temperature 60 °C. The conversion gives maximum 88% allowed continue 120 m...

The occurrence of cis-vaccenic acid (cis-11-octadecenoic acid) in animal tissues was first reported by Morton and Todd (l), who were able to isolate this acid from horse brain lipids. The extent to which this acid was present in brain was estimated to be about 0.025% wet weight and was thought to be a minor constituent of horse brain fatty acids. The trans isomer, however, was isolated earlier ...
