BACKGROUND Plant-based foods have been used in traditional health systems to treat diabetes mellitus. The successful prevention of the onset of diabetes consists in controlling postprandial hyperglycemia by the inhibition of α-glucosidase and pancreatic α-amylase activities, resulting in aggressive delay of carbohydrate digestion to absorbable monosaccharide. In this study, five plant-based foo...

There exist many methods for the application of the Gram stain to histological sections, and with all of them there is generally no difficulty in recognising Gram-positive organisms. However, with most of the well-recognised methods Gram-negative bacteria are difficult to distinguish from the background. Twort's method distinguishes Gram-negative bacteria from the background but is relatively t...

nano world daily. in this paper the lens culinaris seed extract was assessed for thegreen synthesis of silvernanoparticlesat temperature of 25◦c. the nanoparticles were characterized using inductively coupledplasma spectrometry (icp), x-ray diffraction (xrd) and transmission electron microscopy (tem). thenthe antimicrobial activities of these nanoparticles were investigated. p. aeruginosa and s...

During the course of investigations on riboflavin 5’-phosphate and flavin adenine dinucleotide-hydrolyzing enzymes in green gram (Phaseolus radiatus), we observed that crude extracts possessed high phosphatase activity against a variety of phosphorylated compounds. Despite intensive studies on the animal phosphatases, plant phosphatases have received very little attention. Pfankuch (1) purified...

Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) is one of the most important medicinal crops in many parts of the world. In this study, the effects of microelements, antioxidants, and bioagents on Fusarium oxysporum, F. solani, and Macrophomina phaseolina, the causal pathogens of root rot and wilt diseases in roselle, were examined under field conditions. Preliminary studies were carried out in vitro in order...

Objective(s): In this work, pomegranate juice was used as a capping agent for self- assembly to form particles-like Au nanostructures in the presence of AuHCl4.3H2O as aurate source. Besides, to investigate the concentration effect of pomegranate juice as the green capping agent on the morphology and particle size of final products several experiments were...

in this research kelussia odoratissima mozaff. leaf extract was used for the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (agnps). at first we compared antioxidant activity of different extracts of k. odoratissima. then solution containing silver nitrate was treated with the extract which showed high antioxidant activity. synthesized agnps were evaluated by analyzing the excitation of surface plasmo...

This work aimed to evaluate the potential of chitosan/cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) films be used as active pads for meat packages prolong its shelf-life and preserve properties over time. Several CNC concentrations (5, 10, 25, 50 wt%) were tested produced by solvent casting. The developed samples characterized ATR-FTIR, TGA, FESEM, XRD. transparency, antimicrobial, barrier mechanical also asses...
