silymarin is a mixture of flavonolignans from the seeds of silybum marianum (l.) gaertner,containing silybinin, isosilybinin, silydianin, silychristin and the dihydroflavonol of taxifolin. flavonolignancomponents are largely responsible for the medical benefits attributed to silymarin. the aim of this researchwas to study the variations in composition and content of flavonolignans of silymarin ...

The importance of providing adequate cleansing facilities for industrial workers, and in particular for those whose skin is constantly or frequently exposed to contamination with potentially harmful lubricating oils, is now well recognized. The removal of lubricating oils from the skin, although superficially an apparently simple matter, is, in fact, usually difficult to accomplish without usin...

Lipoxidase in wheat germ affects the wheat germ’s quality and must be inactivated for processing. Because no method was available for measuring unpurified lipoxidase in wheat germ, methods for measuring purified lipoxidase or lipoxidase in soybean were used as reference methods. These methods proved to be so inaccurate that the natural state of the wheat germ could not be determined. A simple m...

the dried plant was extracted with dichloromethane and after defatting with hexane, transferred repeatedly on silica columns using dichloromethane-hexane and ethyl acetate-hexane as mobile phases. finally the fractions were purified by high performance liquid chromatography using a pack-sil column and hexane: ethyl acetate as mobile phase. the structures of the isolated compounds included: cycl...

Olive pomace (OP) is the main by-product of olive oil industry produced in large quantities. Its valorization as a source phenolic bioactive compounds paramount for sustainable growth related industries. This work proposes an intensified process to maximize recovery dry extracts using hydroalcoholic mixtures. Supercritical carbon dioxide defatting pre-treatment was performed. Following this, pr...

Native de-oiled and treated castor seed meal was subjected to proximate analysis and quantification of anti-nutrients (phytochemicals). Seed cake was treated by biochemical technique of solid state fermentation with Aspergillus niger and addition of calcium oxide (CaO) to give treated castor seed meal (TCSM). One hundred and twenty Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were fed four (4) ...

AIM To compare the outcomes of finger reconstruction using arterialized venous flap (AVF), superficial palmar branch of the radial artery (SPBRA) flap, posterior interosseous perforator flap (PIPF), and ulnar artery perforator free (UAPF) flap harvested from the ipsilateral extremity. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the outcomes for 41 free flaps from the ipsilateral extremity in the reco...

Abstract Since many years, acrylamide (AA) is a well-known toxicologically relevant processing contaminant (“food-borne toxicant”). However, only during the recent high levels of have been reported in vegetable chips. In present study, AA was quantitated via modified derivatization procedure with 2-mercaptobenzoic acid based on stable isotope dilution analysis and liquid chromatography–mass spe...
