The present research investigates the application of green method to produce nanocomposites. CuO/PET fiber nanocomposite can be prepared in two ways. first way involves electrospinning technique by which waste plastic cups polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are converted into nanofibers. In second way, copper nanoparticle (CuONPs) is synthesized with natural capped plant extract sumac (Rhus Coria...

The Paeonia root, with or without bark, are considered vital traditional Chinese medicine materials; the examples are those of Bai Shao, Chi Shao, and Dan Pi. In this study, we examine 24 genes and their expressions involved in the biosynthesis of paeoniflorin and its derivatives, which are active compounds of the Paeonia root, in Paeonia lactiflora and P. suffruticosa, as well as other related...

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) peel and sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) fruit and leaf extracts were chemically characterized and their ability to inhibit table grape (cv. Italia) rots caused by Botrytis cinerea was evaluated on artificially inoculated berries. Different extraction methods were applied and extracts were characterized through Ultra Fast High Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled ...

Urease enzyme has a crucial role in the persistent habitation of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) that induces gastrointestinal diseases, in particular gastritis, duodenal, peptic ulcer, and gastric cancer. Plants have long been utilized as the biggest source of substances with medicinal properties from natural origin and therefore result in less toxicity and adverse side effects upon usage. 15 ...

In this study, sumac plant (Rhus coriaria L.) naturally grown in Tunceli (Türkiye) was collected from 5 different provinces and investigated for their phytochemical properties. samples, pH, color, ash amount, total phenolic content (TPC), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging capacity, metal chelating copper (II) ion reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC), power, mineral ...

Gastrointestinal infections are still a major concern in the developing countries. The aim of this research was to investigate antimicrobial effects of five herbs in Iranian traditional medicine on some of the pathogenic intestinal bacteria. Hydroalcoholic extracts of Amaranthus paniculatus L. (seeds), Cannabis sativa L. (fruits), Rhus coriaria L. (epicarps), Urtica dioica L. (leaves), and Zata...
