Investigations were started to develop methods for isolating beneficial polyphenols from hops. As a result two new types of extracts were developed. One is mainly consisting of prenylflavonoids (main ingredient is xanthohumol). This product is not soluble in water but in ethanol. The other extract is water soluble and rich in glycosidically bound polyphenols (multifidol, quercetin, kaempferol)....

For the inherent speckles in SAR imagery, the processing of object extraction becomes more difficult. Using the traditional target extraction arithmetic for optical imagery, we can not get ideal result on SAR imagery. Water object in SAR imagery represents as some continuous region with low lightness and strong speckle noise. The traditional method to extract low lightness object can be impleme...

The aim of current research was to develop a water-in-oil emulsion containing grape seed extract for application in cosmeceuticals. Finally grinded dried grape seeds powder was extracted with hydro alcoholic mixture. Emulsions consisting of different concentrations of cetyl dimethicone (Abile EM90), the nonionic emulsifier, liquid paraffin as oily phase and water as aqueous phase were developed...
