Background: Turraea vogelii has been used as traditional medicine for the treatment of ailments including wounds, stomach aches, malaria, infections, filariasis cutaneous, among others and, it serves as source of food. The present study aimed to evaluate the nutraceuticals content and topical anti-inflammatory effect of hydro-methanol twig extract of Turraea vogelii (METV). Method: METV was ob...

Two new phenol derivatives, 2-(3-methyl-2-buten-1-yl)-4-methoxyethyl-phenol (1) and 5-hydroxy-4-(hydroxymethyl)-2-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)cyclohex-4-en-1-one (2), together with eight known compounds consisting of phenol derivatives (3 and 4), niacinamide (5), and five ergosta type compounds (6-10), were isolated from solid fermentation products of Stereum hirsutum FP-91666. Two new structures we...

In many nearshore marine systems, microalgae can be chronically exposed to anthropogenic and biogenic phenolic and halophenolic compounds that accumulate in surficial sediments. Although biodegradation of some phenolic compounds has been demonstrated in freshwater algae, this capability has not been tested in marine species. We examined a ubiquitous marine diatom, Thalassiosira sp. HP9101, for ...

Background: Phenol and nitrophenol are common compounds found in different types of industrial wastewater known as serious threats to human health and natural environment. In this study, Daphnia magna was used to evaluate the effectiveness of "baffle fixes film up flow sludge blanket filtration" (BFUSBF) system in elimination of phenolic compounds from water. Methods: D. magna cult...

The results showed that there were significant differences in organoleptic quality including taste, aroma, and color tea. research pH, total acid, alcohol content, soluble solid no difference. pH ranged from 3.28 - 3.35, 13.90°...

Rice bran, a by-product derived from processing rice, is a rich source of bioactive compounds. Recent studies have suggested that the fermentation can improve their biological activities. This study aimed to determined the level of γ-oryzanol, β-glucan and total phenol contents of fermented rice bran from 21 Korean varieties, as well as to evaluate their antioxidant activities. We also assessed...

Abstract Cacao pod husks ( Theobroma cacao L.) are waste from processing. They contain polyphenolic compounds that obtained by extraction. The most commonly used extraction methods maceration and soxhletation. However, this method has disadvantages such as long time high solvent requirements. This study aimed to compare the soxhletation Microwave-assisted (MAE) on husks. parameters observed wer...
