Aim The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a wound dressing consisting of a zinc oxide with turmeric extract combination as an anti-inflammatory on the healing process through the expression of MAC387 and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Materials and Methods Forty Wistar rats were divided into four control and four treatment groups (n=5). On day 1, a 6 mm×6 mm square of skin in the ar...

Determination of Total Levels White Turmeric Flavonoids (Curcuma zedoria Rosc.) with Variation Solvent Types. turmeric is a herbal plant that has many health benefits in healing several diseases. It can grow wild the open moist soil. The purpose this study was to determine total levels white flavonoids various types solvents. solvents used were water and ethanol. quantitative test extract querc...

Turmeric leaves (Curcuma longa L.) contain secondary metabolites, one of which is a phenolic compound. The choice solvent important in the extraction process, ethanol chosen because it can attract compounds that are soluble non-polar to polar solvents. concentrations this study were 60, 70, 80, and 96% with method used was maceration. screening test obtained positive results for content. This i...

The present work was carried out to determine the antimicrobial potential of spices and to study whether the crude extracts of spices exhibit any synergistic effect when used in combination with antibiotics. All extracts were most effective against E. coli. The ethanolic extract of turmeric exhibited maximum antimicrobial potential against E. coli (29.3±0.17 mm) followed by garlic (25±0.17 mm) ...

This is due to the very low growth and breeding compared to other types such as Landrace pigs, Duroc, and Laghwhite. However, Bali pig has an advantage among others such as able to utilize lack quality feed so it is suitable to maintain in a rural areas. To k...

Two hundred and fifty male 1-day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were used to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of turmeric and cinnamon powders on meat quality and lipid peroxidation of broilers under heat stress condition. The five treatment groups were control (recommended temperature for Ross 308), heat stressed (32 ± 1 ˚C from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM during finisher period) and h...

This study compared the ability of nine culinary plant extracts containing a wide array of phytochemicals to inhibit fructose uptake and then explored the involvement of intestinal fructose transporters and phytochemicals for selected samples. The chemical signature was characterized by high performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry. Inhibition of [(14)C]-fructose uptake was test...
