P. nigrum L. extracts and the piperine alkaloid have important antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated antimicrobial activity cytotoxicity of piperine, a compound isolated from Extracts obtained via maceration, soxhlet, purification steps, addition to were used study. Spectroscopic methods, such as nuclear magnetic resonance, scanning ele...

The aim was to determine the conjugated linoleic acids in beef with GC-FID. Perfect separation of all of the isomers cannot be achieved, though conjugated linoleic acid isomers proved to be separable from the other fatty acids that are present in beef in a significant amount related to conjugated linoleic acids. Lipid-extraction was carried out with n-hexane/i-propanol, giving 6.8 percent highe...

The antifungal activities of three supercritical CO2 (SCC) extracted cedar oils, Port-Orford-cedar (POC) (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana), Alaska yellow cedar (AYC) (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis), and Eastern red cedar (ERC) (Juniperus virginiana L), were evaluated against two common wood decay fungi, brown-rot fungi (Gloeophyllum trabeum) and white-rot fungi (Trametes versicolor). The statistical anal...

This study investigated levels and distribution pattern of chlorinated organic compounds (COCs) otherwise known as organochlorine pesticides in sediment samples at downstream of Aiba watercourse in Iwo, South-western Nigeria. Soxhlet extraction method followed by GC-ECD analysis were used to ascertain levels of COCs in the sediment samples collected from four different locations along the strea...

Supercritical fluid extraction of the volatile oil of the aerial part of the winter savory was carried out in different conditions of pressure, temperature, mean particle size and CO2 flow rate and the results were compared with those obtaining by hydrodistillation with a Clevenger-type apparatus. The non-volatile components were extracted by SFE at higher pressures and by soxhlet extraction wi...

In the last years the supercritical fluid extraction has been frequently used to obtain volatile oils from aromatic plants. In this work we have applied this technique to a different vegetable matrix: poplar (Populus nigra and MC) buds as it is known that they contain antioxidant compounds. The results of the supercritical extraction have been compared with those of the conventional soxhlet ext...

Extraction of oil from the seed of Blighia unijugata gave a yield of 50.82 ± 1.20% using hexane in a soxhlet extractor. The iodine and saponification values were 67.60 ± 0.80 g iodine/100 g and 239.20 ± 1.00 mg KOH/g respectively with C18:1 being the dominant fatty acid. Unsaturated methyl esters of Blighia unijugata which had been previously subjected to urea adduct complexation was used to sy...

Context Soxhlet extraction is commonly used for determining fat content of meat, because it the basis AOAC Final Action method this analysis. Petroleum ether as an solvent but other solvents, such chloroform, can be used. Chloroform has been stated to a safer than petroleum and extensively meat research in Australia; yet, there no report that validates its use purpose.Aim To compare chloroform ...
