The study examined the physical properties and combustion efficiency of briquettes produced from sawdust three selected wood species namely Albizia adianthifolia, Pinus caribbeae Blighia sapida for household energy utilization. effect binder (cassava starch) on briquette was also assessed. binders were mixed at ratios 150:15, 150:30, 150:50 in grams respectively. Combustion related such as perc...

In the present study the methanolic extract of Albizia gummifera was fractionated into various fractions. These fractions were tested against choroquine sensitive (NF54) and resistant (ENT30) strains of Plasmodium falciparum. All other fractions apart from the alkaloidal fraction showed low activity with IC 50 above 3 microg/ml. The alkaloidal fraction exhibited strong activity against NF54 and...

Albizia, a diverse tree genus, occupies monsoonal warm humid rain forests in tropical and subtropical regions. We recovered well-preserved compound fossil leaf two fruits of Albizia (Fabaceae) from the latest Neogene (Rajdanda Formation: Pliocene) sediments Jharkhand Chotanagpur Plateau, eastern India. On basis architectural features leaf, new species is established as A. mahuadanrensis Hazra, ...

The non-polar components of two leguminoceae species Albizia adianthifolia (Schumach), and Pterocarpus angolensis (DC) were investigated. GC-MS analysis of the crude n-hexane and chloroform extracts together with several chromatographic separation techniques led to the identification and characterization (using NMR) of sixteen known compounds from the heartwood and stem bark of Albizia adianthi...

Oral dissolvable films (ODFs) of diclofenac sodium intended for osteoarthritis were prepared using Albizia and Khaya gums as hydrophilic film formers. The physicochemical properties of the gums were characterized and the gums were used to prepare diclofenac sodium ODFs (~50 mg/4 cm(2) film) by solvent casting. The two gums showed satisfactory film forming properties. The physicomechanical prope...

Albizia lebbeck is herb belonging to the family Fabaceae. It has several phyto-constituents that show many health benefits. Traditionally it used cure fever, diarrhoea, dysentery, asthma, cold, cough, conjunctivitis, arthritis, dental problems and skin disease. anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-pyretic immune-modulatory property. The plant contains alkaloids, flavones, flavonoi...

the study was conducted to compare the effects of feeding acacia auriculata (aa), gmelina arborea (ga), albizia lebbeck (al) and butryospermum parkii (bp) tree forages as a sole feed for nigerian goats. four goats (yankasa) averaging one year and weighing 11.7±1.8 kg were used to measure the feed intake, digestibility and nitrogen balance. the leaves were offered ad libitum. dry matter (dm) int...

This study was conducted to evaluate the anthelmintic effectiveness of Albizia anthelmintica, as a first step in investigating the hypothesis that livestock self-medicate. In July 2006, an observational study was conducted with 56 young female lambs, to validate A. anthelmintica efficacy. Faecal egg per gram for Coccidia, Strongyle-type, Monezia, Strongyloides and Dicrocoelia eggs were counted ...
