Catalyst development still has a major impact on science today, as we can use catalysts to break down certain pollutants in an energy-efficient way. There is no comprehensive literature the of SrTiO3-based photocatalysts, so study this area justified. Related topic, here report facile preparation surface-modified SrTiO3 photocatalyst, performed by plasmonic copper deposition. In case copper-mod...

The influence of inorganic fertilizer application on the flavonoid, phenol and steroid content of the leaves of Ocimum gratissimum and Gongronema latifolium was investigated. Cultivated O. gratissimum and G. latifolium were treated with NPK (15:15:15) inorganic fertilizer at 100 kg/ha, 200 kg/ha, 300 kg/ha, 400 kg/ha and 500 kg/ha treatment levels in plastic planting buckets derived using the f...

The effect of bottle ageing on the antioxidant activity of Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Chenin blanc wines, using the 2,2'-azino-di-(3-ethylbenzothialozine-suIphonic acid) radical cation (ABTS*) and 2,2-diphenyl-l-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH') scavenging assays, was determined. Storage at 0°C, 15°C or 30°C for a period of 12 months resulted in a significant (p < 0.05) decrease ...

Investigations were carried out to determine antimicrobial and antioxidant properties and total phenol content of three wild species of Ephedra compared with their respective callus cultures. Callus induction was performed in a standard Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with the following hormonal ranges (mg/L) for every species NAA:1.5, Kin:1 for Ephedra strobiliacea, NAA:2, Kin:1 for Ephedra pr...

Twenty six accessions of grain Amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus L.) were evaluated for salient biochemical and quantitative traits particularly reference to chlorophyll a and b, total chlorophyll, phenol content, leaf moisture, leaf protein content, test weight and yield plant. Genetic divergence and association among these traits were analysed. Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophy...

A comparative study was made of the cardioglobulin B content of the plasma of 26 normal adults and 20 newborn infants with the bioassay technique described by Hajdu and Leonard. The cardioglobulin B content in the plasma of infants was significantly lower than that of adults. Heparin was used as the anticoagulant in the blood samples throughout this study. It was noted that, when heparin contai...

Natural phenol compounds are gaining a great deal of attention because of their potential use as prophylactic and therapeutic agents in many diseases, as well as in applied science for their preventing role in oxidation deterioration. With the aim to synthetize new phenol-based materials, the sol-gel method was used to embed different content of the phenolic antioxidant chlorogenic acid (CGA) w...
