Madhuca longifolia is a traditional medicinal plant used in the treatment of several diseases including cancer in Indian system of medicine. Even though the chemical composition, bioactive principles and medicinal value of M. longifolia leaf have investigated earlier, the extraction of phytochemical compounds is not yet optimized, because preparation of extract will be of great importance as it...

We report the first experimental demonstration of a TE-polarization photonic band gap (PBG) in a 2D isotropic hyperuniform disordered solid (HUDS) made of dielectric media with a dielectric index contrast of 1.6:1, very low for PBG formation. The solid is composed of a connected network of dielectric walls enclosing air-filled cells. Direct comparison with photonic crystals and quasicrystals pe...

grape, like other horticultural products due to high humidity, low relative ph and wealth of nutrients, is subjected to attack by pathogenic fungi during the harvest and storage stages. in this study, at first, the some post-harvest pathogenic fungi of grape were isolated in meshgin-shahr and two fungal species including botrytis cinerea and cladosporium cladosporioides were identified as the d...

The variation, in general, of the composition of the aromatic fraction and, in particular, of the enantiomeric composition of certain chiral volatile compounds of commercial Mentha pulegium L. powders caused by boiling water was evaluated. A comparison between the volatile profile of the studied herbs demonstrated that most M. pulegium L. samples contained high proportions of Mentha piperita L....

Weed control tries to suppress competitors for a crop and often relies on differential intoxication, making use of differences in uptake, development, or metabolism. We explored the possibility using natural signals shift competition favour crop. Using competitive horsemint (Mentha longifolia) as paradigm, we showed that essential oils from certain mint species seedling development different ta...

conclusions this study showed the efficacy of m. longifolia in relieving pds symptoms and improving the qol of patients with pds. results at the end of treatment period, the m. longifolia group reported a more significant improvement in the mean severity scales of fd symptoms than the placebo group (p < 0.001). a significant difference was also observed between fd symptoms and severity scores i...

Background: There is growing demand to improve physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory properties of fresh foods using natural herbal antimicrobial and antioxidant compounds. The aim of the present study was to investigate antioxidant and antibacterial properties of some native edible plants of Kermanshah, Western Iran. Methods: The methanolic extracts of leaves of Falcaria vulgaris, All...
