Biomass-based pellet is an important source of renewable energy. In this study, to obtain the high-quality fuel via densification pruned branches fruit trees, we investigated optimization blending ratios for different raw materials using from jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.), which a widely distributed waste biomass resource in China. Through characterization and pellets, effects on storage, tran...

The aqueous extract of Joazeiro stem bark (EJSB) and its high molecular weight fraction (HMWF) were examined as potential corrosion inhibitors mild steel in 1 mol L?1 hydrochloric acid media, using weight-loss measurements, potentiodynamic polarization curves an electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).Varying the concentration from 100 to 800 mg L?1, results show increase anticorrosive eff...

Jujube is a characteristic light-demanding fruit tree, but quality frequently degraded because of the weak light in protected cultivation facilities south China. In this study, black shade net was used to set three intensities artificially: no shading (0%, control, NS), moderate (45%, MS), and severe (76%, SS) investigate effect low on sugar metabolism jujube. Compared with NS, chlorophyll caro...

Jujube is a crop very resistant to drought and salinity, making it an interesting growing alternative in southeastern Spain. The characteristics of five different cultivars the jujube fruit have been evaluated classified into four maturation stages according color peel, ranging from green its most immature stage, white, yellow, red last, more mature stage. This due part amount carotenoids chlor...

Chronic ethanol consumption leads to oxidative stress in the heart and erythrocytes of rats. As Ziziphus jujuba fruit has been shown to have potent antioxidants, such as flavonoids, we conducted this study to evaluate the effects of aqueous fruit extracts from Z. jujuba on rat hearts and erythrocytes following chronic ethanol consumption. Twenty-eight male Wistar rats were randomly divided into...

the aim of the present study was to evaluate hypnotic effect of coriandrum sativum, ziziphus jujuba , lavandula angustifolia and melissa officinalis hydroalcoholic extracts in mice to select the most effective ones for a combination formula. three doses of the extracts (250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg of c. sativum and z. jujuba and 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg of l. angustifolia and m. officinalis ) were or...

BACKGROUND Shyonaka (Oroxylum indicum Vent.; Bignoniaceae) root bark is one of the ingredients of dashamoola (a group of 10 roots), and is used for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic action in a number of compound formulations in Ayurveda. AIM Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India (API) recommends using the stem bark instead of root bark. MATERIAL AND METHODS An attempt has been made to study t...

The structures of the condensed tannins from leaf, stem bark and root bark of Acacia confusa were characterized by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) analysis, and their antioxidant activities were measured using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging and ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. The results s...
