a wide range of medicinal plant parts that possess varied medicinal properties are used for extracts as raw drugs. in this study, the ethanolic extract obtained from aerial parts of fennel (foeniculum vulgare mill.) seedlings was evaluated in vitro to examine their antimicrobial activity against four gram-negative and three gram-positive bacteria and two fungi. aerial parts of one-month-old see...

Although spices have been used for thousands of years and are known for their flavor, taste and color in the food, they are not usually recognized for their medicinal value. Extensive research within the last two decades from our laboratory and others has indicated that there are phytochemicals present in spices that may prevent various chronic illnesses including cancerous, diabetic, cardiovas...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) as an environmentally friendly approach compared conventional heat-reflux (CE) for isolation fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) seed polyphenols and assess bioactivity obtained extracts. Water, ethanol (30%, v/v) acetone were used solvents, carried out varying temperature (40, 60 80 °C), irradiation time ...

a 3 × 3 factorial experiment with three levels of fennel extract (fe) (0, 50, and 100 mg/kg of diet) and three levels of added vitamin d3 (vit d3) (0, 3500 and 4200 iu/kg of diet), was carried out to evaluate reproductive performanceand immune response of post molted broiler breeders(76-84 weeks).broiler breeders were weighed at 10 week after molting (74 weeks) then randomly distributed into 36...

introduction during the last decades interest in organic production of seed specially for medicinal plants take into consideration because of higher quality of organic products (hermes, 2010). seed germination is one of the principal stages in the plant life cycle and seeds with higher quality and vigour resulted in more pronounced seedlings growth and development. therefore, investigation of a...

Foeniculum vulgare Mill. (fennel) is used to flavor food, in cosmetics, as an antioxidant, and to treat microbial, diabetic and common inflammation. No study to date, however, has assessed the anti-inflammatory effects of fennel in experimental models of inflammation. The aims of this study were to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of fennel in model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ...
