Natural dyes are emerging globally as eco-friendly synthetic colorant. dyeing is process of applying coloring matter directly on fiber, yarn or fabric without any additives. Butea monosperma (Lam.)Taub. one most important ornamental plants mainly grow in forest and rich orange pigments. In the present study, pigments naturally drop flowers (Lam.) Taub. Extraction by using four different Mordant...

Oil biodegradation by native bacteria is one of the most important natural processes that can attenuate the environmental impacts of marine oil spills. Existing models for oil biodegradation kinetics are mostly for dissolved oil. This work developed a new mathematical model for the biodegradation of oil droplets and applied the model to estimate the time scale for oil biodegradation under condi...

It is important to monitor the moisture content of transformer oil in a transformer. One parameter of particular interest is the moisture solubility of transformer oil. It has been reported that transformer oils under different conditions have different solubility. Measurements of solubility for four different types of conditioned oil are presented in this paper: fresh Shell Diala AX oil, lab-a...

Different doses of 12 plant extracts and 6 secondary plant metabolites were incubated for 24 h in diluted ruminal fluid with a 50:50 forage:concentrate diet. Treatments were: control (no additive), plant extracts (anise oil, cade oil, capsicum oil, cinnamon oil, clove bud oil, dill oil, fenugreek, garlic oil, ginger oil, oregano oil, tea tree oil, and yucca), and secondary plant metabolites (an...

In the present study effort have been made to find the anti-bacteria effect of six medicinal plant essential oil namely, Ocimum bascilicum (Basil oil), mentha arvensis (Cormint oil),Zingiber officinale(ginger oil),citrus limon(lemon oil), thymus mastichina (Marjoram oil) and mentha spicata (Spearmint oil) were assessed for anti bacterial activity against therefore pathogenic bacteria such as B....

INTRODUCTION Many essential oils have been advocated for use in complementary medicine for bacterial and fungal infections. However, few of the many claims of therapeutic efficacy have been validated adequately by either in vitro testing or in vivo clinical trials. OBJECTIVE To study the antibacterial activity of nine commercially available essential oils against Streptococcus mutans in vitro...

the purpose of this study was to develop a sensitive and fast microdialysis coupled with high-performance liquid chromatographic (hplc) method for determination of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (5-hmf) in free-moving rats after i.g. administration of the aqueous extract of crud fructus corni and its processed products of jiuzheng pin (jzp). the concentration of 5-hmf in free-moving rats after i...

OBJECTIVES This study was aimed to find out the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of five essential oils against oral pathogens and to find out the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) of five essential oils against oral pathogens. MATERIALS AND METHODS The antimicrobial activities by detecting MIC and MBC/MFC of five essential oils such as ...

Okara, soybean waste from tofu and soymilk production, was utilised as a natural antioxidant in soap formulation for stratum corneum application. D-optimal mixture design was employed to investigate the influence of the main compositions of okara soap containing different fatty acid and oils (virgin coconut oil A (24-28% w/w), olive oil B (15-20% w/w), palm oil C (6-10% w/w), castor oil D (15-2...

      The purpose of this study was to develop a sensitive and fast microdialysis coupled with high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for determination of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (5-HMF) in free-moving rats after i.g. administration of the aqueous extract of crud Fructus corni and its processed products of jiuzheng pin (JZP). The concentration of 5-HMF in free-movi...
