BACKGROUND Currently, there is an increasing interest in developing more efficient techniques for the extraction of phytochemicals. Microwaves and ultrasonic extraction methods are promising techniques that can be used for this purpose. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of different extraction methods on yield, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of volat...

Since ancient people, mushroom have been used as a source of food and in therapeutic remedies. Many recent studies confirm different biological activities mushrooms which include antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer, antidiabetic anti-inflammatory activities. species evaluated for their This study highlights the effectiveness agents.

Abstract In this study, antioxidant, oxidant, antimicrobial, and antiproliferative activities of Asparagus acutifolius L. officinalis L., known for their nutritional properties, were determined. context, methanol (MeOH) dichloromethane (DCM) extracts plants obtained. Total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant (TOS), oxidative stress index (OSI) determined using Rel Assay kits. Antimicrobial ...

background and objectives: lamiaceae members have long been used in iranian traditional medicine (itm) for their various medicinal properties. the main objective of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant capacity and antimicrobial activity as well as the total phenolic content (tpc) of the various extracts and fractions of two iranian endemic micromeria (m. persica and m. hedgei). methods: ...

background: this study aimed at investigation of the chemical composition, antimicrobial activity, and antioxidant properties of clove, cumin, origanum, and anise essential oils (eos). methods: chemical compositions of the eos were identified using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (gc/ms). the antibacterial activities of eos against four important food-borne bacteria were assessed by disc d...

background scrophularia striata (scrophulariaceae family) is an herbaceous plant that is traditionally used for treatment of microbial infections. objectives antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of different extracts (methanolic, ethanolic, aqueous and ethyl acetate) from s. striata aerial parts was evaluated. materials and methods the antimicrobial activity of different extracts from s. stri...

8-Aminoquinoline (8AQ) derivatives have been reported to have antimalarial, anticancer, and antioxidant activities. This study investigated the potency of 8AQ-5-substituted (iodo and nitro) uracils metal (Mn, Cu, Ni) complexes (1-6) as antimalarial and antimicrobial agents. Interestingly, all of these metal complexes (1-6) showed fair antimalarial activities. Moreover, Cu complexes 2 (8AQ-Cu-5I...

Aromatic plants are rich in essential oils with considerable antimicrobial properties. The aim of this study was to investigate chemical composition, antimicrobial activity and antioxidant properties of Melissa officinalis and Deracocephalum moldavica essential oils (EOs). The identification of chemical constituents of the EOs was carried out using gas chromato-graphy-mass spectrometry analysis...

BACKGROUND Current study has been designed to estimate the possible antioxidant, antimicrobial and hemolytic potential of Ficus benjamina different parts (leaves, stem and root). RESULTS All examined extracts and fractions were significantly rich in antioxidants and exhibited potent antimicrobial activity. GC/MS analysis of essential oil identified four compounds in stem and eight compounds i...
