Cosmos caudatus Kunth is a vegetable plant that often used as food ingredient and traditional medicine. This study aims to determine the antioxidant activity of C. leaves extract obtained by variety extraction methods. The test was carried out using DPPH method. results showed yield maceration method (10.98%) higher than percolation (7.28%) soxhletation (8.22%). (IC50) macerated (12.5 ± 0.3 µg/...

Objective: This study aimed to isolate and identify the Bacillus subtilis antibacterial compound present in leaves of Garcinia latissima Miq.
 Methods: The extracts were obtained by maceration successively, active extract was fractionated column chromatography. isolation most fraction performed open chromatography preparative thin-layer assay against microdilution method. structure identif...

The aim of this work is to determine the effect extraction method on yield, chemical composition, and antifungal activity cedarwood essential oils (EOs) from sawdust Moroccan Cedrus atlantica (C. atlantica). EOs were extracted by different methods: hydrodistillation, soxhlet, maceration, ultrasound. composition was determined using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. yields 5...

background & aim: the purpose of present study was to examine and validate the folk's claim of inhalation of monechma ciliatum seeds powder by traditional african natives for cold and allergic conditions, so as to formulate a useful therapeutic agent to respiratory tract infections. experimental: different extracts were bio-assayed in vitro for their bioactivity to inhibit the growth of pat...
