Star anise (Illicium verum) is widely used as a medicinal herb and spice. The extracts, essential oil oleoresin, can be produced by hydro-distillation steam distillation, while solvent supercritical fluid extraction to extract oleoresin. In this work, the star distilled obtain oil, subsequently, its residue extracted get Whole grounded fruit for 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 hours, thus highest yield obtai...

Grand fir (Abies grandis) saplings and derived cell cultures are useful systems for studying the regulation of defensive oleoresinosis in conifers, a process involving both the constitutive accumulation of resin (pitch) in specialized secretory structures and the induced production of monoterpene olefins (turpentine) and diterpene resin acids (rosin) by nonspecialized cells at the site of injur...

The antioxidant effect of far infrared–treated rice hull (FRH) extracts in irradiated turkey breast meat was compared with that of sesamol and rosemary oleoresin. The FRH extracts significantly decreased thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances values and volatile aldehydes (hexanal, pentanal, and propanal) and was effective in reducing the production of dimethyl disulfide responsible for irradi...

Two phytonutrient mixtures, VAC (carvacrol, cinnamaldehyde, and Capsicum oleoresin), and MC (Capsicum oleoresin and turmeric oleoresin), were evaluated for their effects on chicken immune responses following immunization with an Eimeria profilin protein. Chickens were fed with a non-supplemented diet, or with VAC- or MC-supplemented diets, immunized with profilin, and orally challenged with vir...

The oleoresin of the copaiba tree (Copaifera sp., Fabaceae) is traditionally used in Brazilian herbal medicine to treat a variety of illnesses and symptoms. This study, conducted according to the OECD Guideline 414, provides data on the developmental toxicity of oleoresin from C. reticulata (COPA-R) in rats. Pregnant Wistar rats (25 per dose group) were treated by gavage with COPA-R (0, 500, 10...

J. Entomol. Sci. 46(2): 124-134 (April2011) Abstract A commercially available chitosan product, BeyondTM, was evaluated for its effects on loblolly pine, Pinus taeda L., responses believed related to bark beetle resistance. Treatments were applied 4 times at approx. 6-wk intervals between May and November 2008. Five treatments were evaluated: ground application (soil drench), foliar application...

The effect of proportion of maltodextrin and gum arabic as carrier material and the percentage of nutmeg oleoresin as flavor load on microencapsulation by spray drying was studied. The proportions of 0, 20, 40 and 60 percent gum arabic (w/w) in the carrier blend and 10, 20 and 30 percent nutmeg oleoresin (w/w) as flavor load were studied. Emulsions were microencapsulated in a vertical co-curren...

In this study, the effects of some edible pigments used in the food industry on pathogenic bacteria were investigated. For this purpose, five natural food colors were selected consisted of curcumin, β-carotene, paprika oleoresin, lycopene and turmeric oleoresin. The impacts of each color on bacterial species including Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus<...

OBJECTIVES Pepper (oleoresin capsicum) spray is one of the most common riot-control measures used today. Although not lethal, exposure of pepper spray can cause injury to different organ systems. This review aimed to summarise the major clinicopathological effects of pepper spray in humans. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, EMBASE database, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were used to search ...
