in this study, antioxidant and antimicrobial potentials of usnea intermedia, u. filipendula, and u. fulvoreagens and their stictic and usnic acid contents were investigated. antioxidant activity and total phenolic contents were evaluated in acetone, ethanol, and methanol extracts of these three species. antioxidant activity was measured by abts [2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulp...

A two-step greener catalytic process has been developed for the semi-synthesis of (?)-menthol from citronellal-rich essential oils such as Cymbopogon winterianus and Corymbia citriodora by using novel bi-acidic composites. These composites (Al-B-NaYZE or Sn-B-NaYZE) were prepared impregnation Sn-B Al-B over NaYZE framework to increase Lewis Bronsted acidic sites. thoroughly characterized TDP, F...

abstract balanced nutrition and soil organic mater are among most important factors affecting yield and quality of grape (vitis vinifera cv.peykani). humic acid as an organic acid derived from humus and other organic sources, in accompany with zinc, and acetic acid can reduce deficiency symptoms in grape. to study the effects of zinc, humic acid and acetic acid on yield and yield components, an...

developing simple, sensitive and selective sensing systems for dopamine is important due to its biological significance. in this work, a silver nanoparticles-modified carbon paste electrode (agnps-cpe) has been constructed and used to detect of dopamine (da) in the simultaneous presence of ascorbic acid (aa) and uric acid (ua) at neutral ph 7.0 by cyclic voltammetry. the modified electrode show...

nano silica sulfuric acid as a solid acid, was described to be an effective catalyst for one-pot three-component reaction of kojic acid, aryl aldehydes and indoles for the preparation of 2-substituted aryl (indolyl) kojic acid derivatives. the catalyst was prepared by combination of chlorosulfonic acid to nano silica gel. the size of nanoparticles were observed with sem.all prepared compounds w...

background & aim: purslane (portulaca oleracea l.), belongs to the portulacaceace family, grows in many parts of iran. results of previous studies were indicated purslane is a rich source of essential fatty acids of omega-3 and omega-6.  portulaca oleracea is a widespread weed, being the eighth common plants of the world. the aim of current study was to compare the essential fatty acids com...
