The Acacia seyal Dell family Mimosaceaeis is known locally as Talha tree. Many medicinal uses such as treatment of dysentery, leprosy, colds, diarrhea, hemorrhage, ophthalmic, intestinal ailments, rheumatic pains, colds and fevers, have been attributed to this tree. Schistosomiasis, a water-borne parasitic disease caused by Schistosome(s) a genus of digenetic trematode worms, infects man and an...

Fodder trees and shrubs are crucial sources of animal feed in Sudan, particularly in arid and semi-arid areas. This is because they can fill up the feed gaps in the summer period when grassland growth is limited due to unfavorable weather conditions. The study was conducted in Elnour forest-southeastern Sudan in 2015, which is dominated by Acacia seyal. The objectives of this study were to esti...

Novel and effective biorefinery methods are necessary to fractionate lignocellulosic biomass into separate components for the valorization of these value-added products. For example, xylan fraction can be used as an adhesive, a thickener, additive plastics, emulsifier, drug carrier, precursor prebiotic xylooligosaccharides. Unfortunately, conventional extraction procedures require lengthy perio...

Breeding strategy of Acacia hybrid is being developed by Center for Forest Biotechnology and Tree Improvement Indonesia has produced three superior clones in growth (Clone 16, 25, 44). Understanding the extractives new might determine future development steps to improve its resistance diseases especially heartrot. The objective this study was investigate extractive content radial directions (SW...

In the present investigation, an attempt was made to formulate sustained release matrix tablets of Diclofenac sodium using Gum acacia and Okra gum as release modifier. Six batches of sustained release matrix tablets of Diclofenac sodium were prepared by using different drug: polymer ratios viz. 1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2, 1:2.5, 1:3, and 1:3.5 for both gum acacia and Okra gum. The tablets were analyzed fo...

Th e pasting behavior of native Water Chestnut Starch – hydrocolloids mixtures was studied. Th e eff ect of Xanthan, Guar, Carboxy Methyl Cellulose and Acacia on Water Chestnut Starch was examined by using micro Viscoamylograph. It was noticed that all hydrocolloids greatly modify the pasting properties of water chestnut starch. Results showed that gelatinization temperature of water chestnut s...

Acacia is a fast-growing plant that has high potential in commercial plantations in tropical areas. It is already being grown as a plantation crop for building and industrial raw materials, as well as for reforestation of difficult sites. Extensive cultivation of this promising tree would enrich the natural resources besides being useful for industrial raw material, waste land management, and a...

Establishing mutualistic interactions in novel environments is important for the successful establishment of some non-native plant species. These associations may, in turn, impact native species interaction networks as non-natives become dominant in their new environments. Using phylogenetic and ecological interaction network approaches we provide the first report of the structure of belowgroun...
