Vetiveria zizanioides and Cyperus alternifolius were measured for their ability to decontaminate pig farm wastewater in 50_38.5_23 cm (L_W_H) plastic boxes. These plants were grown in pig farm wastewater with CODCr at 825 mg/L, BOD5 at 500 mg/L, NH3-N at 130 mg/L and TP 23 at mg/L, C. alternifolius and V. zizanioides could cut down those index to 64%, 68%, 20% and 18% respectively by hydraulic ...

Tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus) tuber contains oil that is high in monounsaturated fatty acids, and this oil makes up about 23% of the tuber. The study aimed at evaluating the impact of several factors and enzymatic pre-treatment on the recovery of pressed tiger nut oil. Smaller particles were more favourable for pressing. High pressure pre-treatment did not increase oil recovery but enzymatic t...

The essential oils from the rhizomes of Cyperus rotundus L. collected from two different locations (Empangeni-A and KwaDlangezwa-B; both in the Kwa-Zulu Natal Province of South Africa) were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by capillary GC and GC/MS. Forty-one and 43 components were identified, representing 89.9% and 92.0% of sample A and sample B, respectively. Alpha-cyperone (11.0%),...
