Objective: A microwave assisted extraction technique was developed to optimize the extraction of mucilage from the fruits of Trichosenthes dioica plant. Materials and Methods: the plant has been extracted by conventional and microwave assisted methods for the isolation of mucilage. Results and Discussion: Microwave extraction at 320 W intensity and 20 min heating duration, 84.92% increase in th...

BACKGROUND Marine snow (small amorphous aggregates with colloidal properties) is present in all oceans of the world. Surface water warming and the consequent increase of water column stability can favour the coalescence of marine snow into marine mucilage, large marine aggregates representing an ephemeral and extreme habitat. Marine mucilage characterize aquatic systems with altered environment...

The phytochemical, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory potential of root (ethanol aqueous) extracts Combretum glutinosum was investigated in this study. Their antioxidant activity determined using an vitro DPPH radical scavenging assay. ethanol extract had the lowest IC50 (0.055 mg/mL), which is comparable to vitamin C. Phytochemical screening revealed presence sterols polyterpenes, polyphenols,...

In the last decades, it has been intensively studied natural alternatives to synthetic products. Chassalia kolly is one of medicinal plants used traditionally for treatment skin infections. This study aimed at identifying diversity secondary metabolites, investigate antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities ethanolic extract leaves. Total phenols were determined by Folin Ciocalteu method. Th...

The aim of the present research was to develop a bilayer tablet of venlafaxine hydrochloride for bimodal drug release. In the present investigation authors have tried to explore fenugreek mucilage (FNM) for bioadhesive sustained release layer. The attempt has been made to combine FNM with well studied bioadhesive polymers like hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), Carbopol, and Xanthan Gum. T...

Natural gums and mucilages from plant-derived polysaccharides are potential candidates for a tissue-engineering scaffold by their ability of gelation biocompatibility. Herein, we utilized Glucuronoxylan-based quince seed hydrogel (QSH) as tissue engineering applications. Optimization QSH was conducted varying crosslinker glutaraldehyde (GTA) concentrations. Structural characterization done Four...
