Background and objectives: Colchicum kurdicum (Bornm.) Stef. is a flowering perennial monocotyledon plant that has many important bioactive compounds especially colchicine and colchicine derivatives. In this study, the ultrasound-assisted acidic-solvent extraction method coupled with response-surface method was presented as the successful method for large scale extract...

preparation of tretinoin-containing microspheres with the aim of reducing undesirable skin reactions towards trans retinoic acid (tra) and thus, improving patient compliance is of particular interest. these microspheres have to be smaller than 30 m m to avoid causing gritty feel when applying on the skin, and slow the release of drug to minimize its skin side effects. following preliminary eval...

a comparative study of ultrasound-assisted extraction (uae) and hydro-distillation was performed for fast extraction of estragole from tarragon (artemisia dracunculus l.) dried leaves. several influential parameters of the uae procedure in the extraction of estragole (type of solvent, extraction cycles, solvent to material ratio, irradiation time and particle size) were investigated and optimiz...

oxime extractants 3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-5-methyl benzaldehyde oxime (hl1) and 3-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-5-methoxy benzaldehyde oxime (hl2) were synthesized and characterized by conventional spectroscopic methods. suitable lipophilic nature of the prepared extractants allowed examining the ability of these molecules for extraction-separation of copper from its mixture with normally associated meta...

gallium extraction from jajarm bayer process liquor (jajarm, iran) was investigated using microemulsions. also the behavior of aluminum was studied as an impurity. kelex100 (4-ethyl, 1-methyl, 7-octyl, 8-hydroxyquinoleine), iso-decanol and n-butanol, and kerosene were used as the surfactant, co-surfactant, and oil phase, respectively. ternary phase diagrams were produced using various co-surfac...

tea and sesame seed oils extracted by different methods (including supercritical fluid extraction (sfe), at a pressure of 350 atm, a temperature of 60oc, a static extraction time of 20 minutes, a dynamic extraction time of 30 minutes and 150 g kg-1 of ethanol as a modifier). solvent (se) and ultrasound-assisted solvent extraction (ue)), as natural anti-oxidants, were evaluated during 15 days st...

background & aim: essential oils are isolated from different sections of plants such as flowers, seeds, leaves, stems and roots. essential oils are applied extensively in producing of perfumes, cosmetics, foods, beverages and confectioneries and as ingredients of disinfectants and insecticides. experimental: essential oil are obtained by several isolation methods, such as hydrodistillation ...

In the present study, the solvent-solvent extraction of phenazine 1-carboxylic acid (PCA) as an environmentally friendly antifouling agent from pseudomonas aeruginosa MUT3 culture was investigated. Accordingly, after screening the extraction ability of various solvents, the combined effects of operating parameters such as solvent type (ethyl acetate, dichloromethane, and n...
