The current study investigates the conservation of mitochondria DNA (mtDNA) from skeletal material prepared by enzyme maceration. Ten individuals of Stone Marten (Martes foina) were enzyme-macerated using a mixture of protease and lipase. After using a fast enzyme preparation method the skeletal material was stored for two years in order to see if degradation of DNA had taken place. As warm-wat...

the objective of the study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of aqueous extract of cucumis melo fruit on human prostate cancer cell line (pc-3) using mtt and neutral red assays. the crude aqueous extract of c. melo was prepared by cold maceration method, filtered, concentrated and tested on pc-3 cell line. dose-dependent cytotoxic activities were exhibited on human prostate carcinoma pc-3 c...

This study addresses the chemical composition of some commercial essential oils (clove, juniper, oregano, and marjoram oils), as well as appropriate herbal extracts obtained in the process of cold maceration and their biological activity against selected Escherichia coli strains: E. coli ATTC 25922, E. coli ATTC 10536, and E. coli 127 isolated from poultry waste. On the basis of the gas chromat...

The study used bitter almonds (Amygdalus communis L. Varietas amara D.C.) obtained by cold pressing medicinal nails grown in Navoi region using oil (Calendula officinalis L.) - with the participation of flowers, extraction process was carried out maceration (in a ratio 1:10). resulting extract studied its elemental composition, chromatographic analysis fatty acids, microbiological purity, chemi...

The purpose of this study was to extract phenolic compounds from olive leaves of Koroneiki, Roghani and Mission varieties by maceration and Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) methods with different solvents. Our results revealed that the extraction method, solvent and variety had a significant effect on the amount of phenolic compounds (p<0.05). In both extraction methods, Koroneiki and Missio...

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 th...
