Bioethanol needs can be met from cellulose and hemicellulose biomass, for example cinnamon bark (Cinnamomum verum). Cellulose are generally surrounded by a lignin structure. Therefore, pre-treatment is needed to degrade the structure (delignification), so that saccharification process of run optimally. The was carried out on with NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide). Cinnamon lignocellulose fractionation us...

While being important for its culinary use, cinnamon is also highly valued for providing significant health benefits [1] including lowering blood sugar levels [2-5], reducing heart disease risk factors [5-7], and even addressing neurological disorders [8-10]. High levels of antioxidants are in present in cinnamon and likely contribute to these health benefits. Cinnamon is made from the dried in...

Megalurothrips sjostedti Trybom is an important pest of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) in Africa. To propose an alternative to chemical control, the repellency of 24 plant extracts was evaluated against adult female thrips of M. sjostedti in the laboratory. Plant extracts in ethanol were separately applied on a filter paper disk in a still air visual cue olfactometer. The results showed highly s...

Plant essential oils are being increasingly studied as a potential environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic insecticides. The insecticidal efficacy of on the cabbage seedpod weevil ( Ceutorhynchus obstrictus ), an important oilseed rape pest, has not been previously tested. We examined impact six C . via contact with dry residues leaf and flower surfaces. also effect these model non-ta...

Cinnamomum zeylanicum (cinnamon) has a wide range of beneficial effects including mild glucose lowering activity. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether cinnamon bark extract has the potential to improve memory performance and glucose profiles in diabetic mice. Memory was assessed by the novel object recognition task in male Balb/c mice. In this method, the difference between e...

BACKGROUND Previous study showed that the aqueous extract of the stem bark of Cinnamomum zeylanicum possesses antihypertensive and vasodilatory properties. The present work investigates the acute and chronic antihypertensive effects of the methanol extract of Cinnamomum zeylanicum stem bark (MECZ) in L-NAME-induced hypertensive rats. METHODS The acute antihypertensive effects of MECZ (5, 10 a...

Forest remnants often act as refuges for native plant species within a degraded and highly fragmented forest matrix. Understanding whether these patches can function feeding grounds frugivores seed sources dispersal into the surrounding provide critical information on ecosystem functions landscape scale guidance restoration. We used large-scale natural system of eight granitic inselbergs in Sey...
