The ultrasound-assisted extraction of phenolic compounds from Epimedium brevicornu Maxim was modeled using response surface methodology. A Central Composite Design (CCD) was employed to optimize three extraction variables, including ethanol concentration (X 1), extraction time (X 2), and ratio of aqueous ethanol to raw material (X 3), for the achievement of high extraction yield of the phenolic...

An aqueous leaf extract of Talinum triangulare was screened for the presence of bioactive molecules, using gas chromatography coupled with pulse and flame ionization detectors. It had high carotenoids; moderate benzoic acid derivatives, hydroxycinnamates and flavonoids; and low terpenes, alkaloids, phytosterols, allicins, glycosides, saponins, and lignans contents. Ten known carotenoids (mainly...

In the article by Sheng Li et al., published in Materials and Corrosion, 2020;71:1330–1338, https://doi.org/10.1002/maco.201911488, reference should have been made to work Abatti Conversion coating on magnesium alloy sheet (AZ31) vanillic acid treatment: Preparation, characterization corrosion behavior, J.

Persistent endoplasmic reticulum stress promotes aberrant inflammation and induces cell death, is implicated in the pathogenesis of pneumonia. Vanillic acid exerts pharmacological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant effects. However, role vanillic pneumonia has not been elucidated yet. Human lung fibroblasts (WI-38 MRC-5) were incubated with different concentration...

To determine the effect of far-infrared (FIR) irradiation on the antioxidant activities of sesame meal, half of sesame seeds were FIR-irradiated and then oil was extracted from the seeds. The resulting defatted sesame meal (DSM) was extracted with methanol, and the antioxidant activities of methanolic extract were determined. FIR irradiation of sesame seeds for 30 min increased the total phenol...

The management of agricultural waste is an important issue related to environment protection, as the inappropriate disposal this yields negative effects on environment. Proper industrial effluents totally aligned with sustainable development goal (SDG) number six “clean water and sanitation”, well partially other several SDG. In work, two materials were used for vanillic acid recovery from wast...
