Pepper is one of the most famous and widespread spices in world. This commercial plant belongs to Piperaceae family. Depending on treatment which pepper fruit exposed, we distinguish between black, white green pepper. In this research, methanolic extracts different types (Piper nigrum) pink (Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi) were prepared. Maceration ultrasonic extraction used extract bioactive c...

BACKGROUND Herbal drug delivery is limited by poor solubility and bioavailability which can be overcome with suitable nanomaterials that will enhance their pharmacokinetics and performance. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to analyze the synthesis, characterization, and biological activities of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from three spices. MATERIALS AND METHODS AgNPs were prepared using 0.1 M s...

Piper nigrum is famous as the spices king due to its pungent quality[1]. Piper nigrum (P.nigrum) L. is a member of family Piperaceae[2-4]. The genus piper has more than 1000 species but the most well known species are P.nigrum, P.longum and P.betle; 51 cultivars of p. nigrum have been reported from the tropical and subtropical regions of India [5]. P.nigrum fruits are also used to produce white...

The regulatory metabolite, fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru 2,6-P(2)) was found in green pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). The Fru 2,6-P(2) level was found to: (a) rise rapidly in response to heat; (b) drop rapidly, followed by recovery, in response to cold storage of fruit and, (c) oscillate during cold storage of fruit. The possible existence of a relationship between chilling injury and Fru 2,6-P(2...

Capsicum peppers are a fair proportion of total vegetables consumed in daily diets around the world. Whether the pepper type is non-pungent or spicy, the nutritional contribution of peppers to diet and human health is significant. However, the selectivity among seeds, carpal and placental tissues or pericarp tissues, makes a difference in the product harvest and quality of antioxidants and caps...

We observed the changes in aggressiveness and fecundity of the anthracnose pathogen Colletotrichum acutatum on hot pepper, under the ambient and the twice-ambient treatments. Artificial infection was repeated over 100 cycles for ambient (25°C/400 ppm CO2) and twice-ambient (30°C/700 ppm CO2) growth chamber conditions, over 3 years. During repeated infection cycles (ICs) on green-pepper fruits, ...

None the less, as Pfeffer has argued, while statesmen and medical experts have continually diminished the issue of infertility, it is a problem for thousands of women and men, who have not borne their plight in silence. Throughout the century doctors' surgeries and hospitals have been filled with people desperate for a cure. In her fascinating and detailed account of the different techniques fo...
