The aim of this study was to evaluate antibacterial activity of Pistachia khinjuk fruit oil and extra virgin olive oil. The Pistacia khinjuk fruit oil was extracted using n-hexane by cold maceration and Soxhlet method. Antibacterial activity was evaluated using disk diffusion and micro broth dilution methods on food pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Listeria monoc...

BACKGROUND This investigation aimed to evaluate the in vitro scolicidal effects of Pistacia khinjuk methanolic extract against protoscoleces of hydatid cysts and its acute toxicity in mice NMRI model. METHODS Protoscoleces were aseptically extracted from sheep livers having hydatid cysts. Various concentrations of the essential oil (12.5-100 mg/mL) were used for 10 to 60 min. Viability of pro...

The present study aims to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo antileishmanial activities of Pistacia khinjuk Stocks (Anacardiaceae) alcoholic extract and to compare its efficacy with a reference drug, meglumine antimoniate (MA, Glucantime), against Leishmania tropica and Leishmania major. This extract (0-100 µg/mL) was evaluated in vitro against promastigote and intracellular amastigote forms of ...

geographical, morphological and taxonomic status of pistacia khinjuk stocks ex stocks in iranwas revised. a total of 181 accessions (herbarium materials or specifically collected for this study) wereexamined geographically and morphologically. the chromosome number of 2n = 24, revealed among 15accessions studied, was taken as evidence to lump the variability observed in p. khinjuk as one taxono...

the present experiment was conducted to determine nutritional values of wild pistachio trees (p. khinjuk) leaves it's use it in the diet of sheep. initially chemical composition of p. khinjuk leaf was determined. the diets containing 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30% of p. khinjuk leaf were prepared and used for sheep to determine the best replacement level of it with corn silage. fermentation ...
