The aim of the present study was to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Saudi Mentha pulegium leaves, characterize physicochemical properties resulting AgNPs, and evaluate biological activities AgNP-containing extract. formation AgNPs in M. extract indicated by a change color following addition nitrate confirmed UV-visible spectroscopy with maximum absorbance at 425 nm. Energy dispers...

Article history: Received on: 25/12/2013 Revised on: 08/02/2014 Accepted on: 23/05/2014 Available online: 28/06/2014 The effect of tissue cultured and tissue culture derived Mentha species viz. Mentha piperita(PPR611), Mentha arvensis (SH) and Mentha spicata (SPR 8) on antioxidant potential using lipid peroxidation model was studied. The extracts prepared were analyzed for total phenols and fla...

The antioxidant capacity of essential oils of Mentha spicata L., Mentha x gentilis L., Mentha crispa L., Mentha piperita L. and Mentha x piperita L. was determined by using differential pulse voltammetry. This assay was based on the reduction in the limiting current value of the oxygen electroreduction, which was used to calculate the antioxidant capacity (K) of these species. The species M. x ...

The present study was conducted with the objective of finding out the concordance between morphological data and molecular data of Mentha spicata and Mentha royleana. Moreover the study was aimed to investigate the relationship between and within the two species. Mentha species were collected from QAU, Shadara, Chattar, Donga gali and Qarshi industries, Hattar. For molecular study Random Amplif...
