gum of butea monosperma is used to treat microbial and fungal infections in folk medicine. to validate this use, the in- vitro antimicrobial activity of petroleum ether and alcoholic extract of butea monosperma gum was evaluated against various microbial strains such as staphylococcus aureus, bacillus subtilis, bacillus cereus, salmonella typhimurium , pseudomonas aeuriogenosa, escherichia coli...

The objective of the present study was to investigate the anticancer activity of Chinese medicine Caulis Spatholobi extract on multicentric osteosarcoma cells. Ultraviolet spectrophotometry was used to determine the total flavonoid content in each sample; vanillin sulphuric acid assay was used to determine the condensed tannin content in each sample; and the varying degrees of inhibitory activi...

the antioxidant activities of methanol (me), ethanol (ee), water (we) and ethyl acetate (eae) extracts of four inula helenium l. taxa (i. helenium ssp. orygalis (boiss.) grierson, i. helenium ssp. pseudohelenium grierson, i. helenium ssp. turcarasemosa grierson and i. helenium ssp. vanensis grierson) were investigated. the phosphomolybdenum assay, β-carotene–linoleate bleaching and dpph radical...

In this paper, the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity, the concentrations of total phenols, flavonoids, tannins and proanthocyanidins in the water, acetone, diethyl ether and ethanol extracts of Melilotus officinalis L. were analysed and their effect on the bacterial biofilm formation. The highest concentration of total phenols (36.25 mgGA/g) and tannins (21.25 mgGA/g) were detected in the ...

range forage of vicia variabilis, astragalus spp., medicago sativa, prangos uloptera and sanguisorba minor was sampled during three phenological stages from the controlled rangeland stations in chaharmahal and bakhtiari province, iran. samples were analyzed for the determination of crude protein (cp%), ether extract (ee), crude fiber (cf), total ash, neutral detergent fiber (ndf), acid detergen...

Nutritional and organoleptic properties of the African giant land snails (Archachatina marginata) were investigated using 96 healthy-looking growing snails maintained on broiler starter mash (BSM) as control, Talinium triangulare or waterleaf, Centrosema molle or centro leaves, and Carica papaya or pawpaw leaves for 16 weeks. This study was set up as a completely randomized design (CRD) with th...

The present study was designated to evaluate the antioxidant, antibacterial and antischistosomal activities of Grateloupia livida (GL) extracts in vitro. A GL Ethanol extract (EE) was separated into petroleum ether (PE), ethyl acetate (EA), n-butyl alcohol (BuOH) and aqueous (AQ) fractions to fractionate the polar and non-polar compounds in the EE. Extracts antioxidant activities were evaluated...

The study was conducted to investigate the chemical composition of distillery yeast sludge and its inclusion in broiler diets to replace canola meal. Raw distillery yeast sludge was washed with water using water and sludge in the ratio 6:1, respectively. Proximate analysis of raw distillery yeast sludge and washed distillery sludge was carried out for crude protein (CP), true protein (TP), ethe...

The purpose of the current work was to designate effect maturity stages potential nutritive value, chemical composition, condensed tannin (CT), gas production (GP), methane production, metabolizable energy (ME), and organic matter digestibility (OMD) Rheum ribes L. Maturity significantly affected (P<0.05) CT, GP, ME OMD Dry (DM), crude ash (CA), protein (CP), ether extract (EE), neutral ...

Abstract In ruminant diets, rumen undegradable starch (RUS) contributes to maintaining health by maximizing post-ruminal absorption. This present study aimed estimate dietary RUS values from their chemical composition. The database was developed some literature search engines and obtained 41 studies 17 references. composition of ash, dry matter (DM), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid lignin (...
