The main goal of this study was to compare effects of ethanol-soluble fractions prepared from various types of teas on sucrose-induced hyperlipidemia in 5-week old male Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats (n 5 6–8 per group) weighed approximately 200 g were randomly divided into control diet, sucrose-rich diet, green tea, oolong tea and black tea groups. Control-diet group was provided with modified AIN-...

BACKGROUND Tea is the world's most popular non-alcoholic beverage. China and India are known to be the largest tea producing countries and recognized as the centers for the domestication of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze). However, molecular studies on the origin, domestication and relationships of the main teas, China type, Assam type and Cambod type are lacking. METHODOLOGY...

Topical foscarnet (PFA) and acyclovir (ACV) were compared in the dorsal cutaneous guinea pig model of herpes simplex virus type 1 infection. The relative order of efficacy was PFA cream greater than ACV cream greater than ACV ointment. In vitro studies demonstrated that PFA and ACV formulated in cream vehicles penetrated through guinea pig skin 7- to 10-fold faster than did ACV in ointment.

The research for suggesting an ice cream for a diabetic patient is carried out in data mining by using clustering and mapping between the data for ice cream and diabetic patients. Here, using MFCA, which is proposed and explained in this paper, does mapping of ice cream dataset with diabetic patient dataset. The results obtained from MCFA algorithm and the new extended MCF algorithm are explain...

Tea leaves are known for its antibacterial activity against many microorganisms. In this study we attempted to describe the synergistic antimicrobial activity of tea and antibiotics against enteropathogens. Antimicrobial activity of boiled water tea extract and organic solvent extract were studied against Salmonella typhimurium 1402/84, S. typhi, S. typhi Ty2a, Shigella dysenteriae, Yersinia en...

Introduction: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a common chronic mucocutaneous disease. Patients with atrophic and erosive types of OLP often have symptoms of soreness, and require proper treatment. The main treatment for OLP has been the administration of topical or systemic corticosteroids. The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of adcortyl cream (triamcinolone acetonide in orabase...

a topical o/w cream containing tretinoin microspheres was prepared. gelatin microspheres of tretinoin were prepared using coacervation method. these microspheres contained about 50% w/w tretinoin. the particle size range of microspheres was between 90-150 m m. in vitro drug release from microspheres and a cream formulation was studied. it was shown that drug release from microspheres followed h...

Application of power ultrasound to Food freezing is a relatively new subject, cavitations is the most significant power which can not only lead to the production of gas bubbles in ice ream but also the occurrence of micro streaming, also it can promote ice nucleation to accelerate the heat and mass transfer process accompanying the freeze process. In this work ice cream freezing process time af...

The tea aphid, Toxoptera aurantii Boyer (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is a major pest of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze (Theaceae). The attraction of the aphids to different colors and volatile compounds from tea shoots was investigated. Fourteen compounds were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry from headspace samples of intact tea shoot volatiles (ITSV). Electroph...

Three types of Cocoa tea, green, oolong, and black, were prepared from fresh young leaves of Camellia ptilophylla. Their aroma characteristics were compared by a sensory evaluation with corresponding traditional tea samples made from C. sinensis. The aroma profile of Cocoa green tea was quite different from that of traditional green tea, but fermented Cocoa oolong tea and black tea showed aroma...
