Bio-oil produced from fast pyrolysis of biomass contains sugars originating from cellulose. Traditional quantification of sugars in bio-oil is accomplished by gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) via derivatization, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ion-exchange chromatography (IC), or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methodologies. These techniques are highly specific for ...

purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the presence of the water soluble polymers viz hpmc, pvp and peg 6000 on aqueous solubility and complexation abilities of felodipine with or without presence of β-cyclodextrin (βcd) and hpβcd by phase solubility studies. the data revealed the initial increase in drug solubility followed by plateau in the presence of relatively low polymer c...

BACKGROUND Helleborus niger L (Ranunculaceae) is used Ayurvedic and Unani systems and other herbal medicine systems. The roots of H. niger have a good medicinal value. AIMS To conduct a pharmacognostical and phytochemical study of H. niger. MATERIALS AND METHODS The pharmacognostical studies on roots including parameters such as taxonomical, macroscopic, microscopic characters, physico-chem...

A pot experiment was conducted to study the influence of various irrigation regimes on some metabolic pools of wheat and alfalfa plants. The photosynthetic pigments and soluble proteins of the tested plants significantly increased when irrigated with sewage amended with Scenedesmus quadricauda or Nostoc sp. On the other hand, soluble carbohydrates decreased in wheat shoots at different treatmen...

The disc gel electrophoretic patterns obtained with skin test-active (mycelial and yeast) antigens of Blastomyces dermatitidis were compared. As would be expected, the blastomycins (mycelial-phase) and the cytoplasmic ultrafiltrates (yeast-phase) were heterogeneous mixtures containing proteins, glycoproteins, lipoproteins, and carbohydrates. The skin test-active cytoplasmic ultrafiltrates and t...

Water stress causes alterations in physiological and metabolic processes plants is considered the primary environmental factor affecting management of sports turf grass species.This glasshouse experiment was conducted to investigate effect trinexapac-ethyl (TE) on canopy net photosynthesis (Pn), cell membrane stability (CMS), quality (TQ) water soluble carbohydrate (WSC) accumulation responses ...
